Reloading My 2019 Fast - Dry Fast Day #3

60 hrs into the Dry Fast - 71.55Kg
Another Day is passed and I'm now on the 60 hours mark, I'm doing ok so far, not much thirsty but the desire of water is increasing a bit. Last night I woke up around 12:30 AM and I could not fall asleep for about 2hrs; I'm guessing is because of the Fast but I'm not 100% sure about that.
It's been really cold here lately (-20° C) and the heat is always on in my apartment, causing extremely dry air. This morning I woke up feeling my throat really dry, I thought of breaking the fast for that. However, I do feel fine, I think is the Dry air that is causing me this dryness. I walked outside for a bit and - despite the freezing weather - I felt better. Now I'm in the office and I still have a bit of a dry throat - but it's definitely bearable.
Yesterday evening I checked my Ketosis but my Ketostix wasn't showing any sign of it - that was at the 48hrs mark or so; I need to wait another day to see some colour on my Ketostix. People says that when you get fat adapted you get into Ketosis faster, I don't think is true; it all depends on what you ate before beginning your fast. Best way is to do a Pre-Fast Ketogenic-Diet.
This morning I don't feel great, my mental clarity is definitely not there, I feel a bit slow actually. Sometime I wonder if I'm lacking on Vitamins, especially Vitamin D - due to this weather I am never in the sun. Fortunately is Friday today and this weekend I'll have the chance to rest a bit, well I hope so - with my parents around is always a challenge. I'm not allowed to stay in bed past 8:00 AM!
I am seeing great loss results so far, although is just 2.5 days that I'm fasting, but my hope is that the pace of how I lose weight keeps this rate while Dry Fasting. I lost more than a Kg in the past 24hrs. I know a lot of this weight is water but once I get into Ketosis I'm sure I'll burn more fat as well. I have often temptations on breaking this Dry Fast and drinking some water or decaf coffee, but I have to be strong, stronger than ever before. I want to continue this Dry Fast as long as I possibly can. I know I can reach 7/8 days without major issues, I just need to be disciplined. After all, any water, coffee that I'm craving today - is going to be there when I'll end my Dry Fast - in just few days from now. Days will pass and I will be skinnier and closer to my goal weight.

Breaking my Combined Dry/Water Fast after 18.5 Days

So I broke my fast after 18.5 days, the most challenging part was the 7.5 days Dry Fast, but at the end time passed, things changed. Now I’m almost to a point that I don’t want to eat, the idea of going to the digestion it’s annoying.
I broke my Water Fast with Bone Broth with added water, during lunch time. After having a big Mason jar of it – which I believe is 1L – my first stomach’s reaction came pretty quickly and I had a BM right away, I was expecting it though. Then, a couple of hours later, I had the rest of Bone Broth that was left with extra water and sipped on it. I’m still ok in terms of BMs but this last jar made me sick really, I had to wash my teeth right away because I couldn’t stand the feeling of the broth on my teeth; now I feel somehow noxious.
I don’t think I’ll continue to drink anymore Bone Broth for now, if more food is required to continue on breaking my fast I’ll opt for water melon or any other watery fruit; I know my Ketosis will be gone by tomorrow but I cannot drink that disgusting thing anymore.
Really I don’t feel eating anything, maybe because I’m so tired or maybe it is because I’m digesting the broth I just had; when completing this type of prolonged fast the digestion makes me extremely sleepy, it sucks so much energy from me, it’s unbelievable how much power can have food on our vital basic strengths.
