I feel a bit blah today. I'm not certain why that is. I should be feeling good, up, chipper. I am losing weight. I feel good on my fast. I'm 57 hours in to another 120-hour fast, and I have been supplementing with minimal electrolytes and trying to get in a bit more water. I just feel a bit bummed. Maybe I am feeling a bit burnt out by the recent rash of bad customers I have had to deal with at work. Maybe my high blood glucose readings have me feeling a bit defeated. I really don't know what it is.
Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 351.2 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs
My weight is down again as expected. It's not as much as I'd have liked ot see, but I think I am on the right track with hydration this time, so this is enough. This is a good rate of loss. While the lowest I have seen has been 351 lbs a few days back, I think I'm doing well for now at 351.2 lbs today. I believe the 351 lbs was due to some dehydration, and, hopefully, I have fixed that problem.
I was dropping about 2 lbs a day at that point, and that is definitely a sign of dropping too much water. Not to mention that my blood glucose levels shot up over 180ml/dl. That's a bit frightening. I'm wondering if the carbohydrates in the vegetable I ate are to blame for this. I can't think of any other sources of carbohydrates I have eaten.
I know that on a keto diet, and especially with fasting, my insulin response is much lower, but the glucose result should be more around 108ml/dl to 110ml/dl on the high end, and not in the 160s and 180s. The lowest I have seen has been in the 120s.
The next time I feast, I will avoid all vegetables and see if that improves anything for me. I also want to try to avoid carbs completely if at all possible. Dr. Fung is well known for saying that our bodies are smarter than we are, but I'm sorry, my body is stupid!
The last time I tried losing weight, when I was on the the Shangri-la diet, my weight loss seriously slowed down in Month 3. I'm worried it will happen again. I'm not sure what to do to prevent that or to break a plateau if it happens. I want to stay motivated and stay on course toward my goal. I really, really want to be a normal-sized human when I go on that cruise next March.
