I have lost more weight! I know that this is not likely to stay off once i eat again, but I'm still feeling pretty great about it. I'm going to keep this feeling as long as I can. My blood glucose number was a bit better today. It was 127mg/dl. That's better, but it is still not ideal. I'm going to eat after 7:05 AM tomorrow morning, and I'm super curious to find out what it is going to do with my blood glucose level. I may also need to invest in a ketone meter, too. I jhust learned about something called a "glucose ketone index," and it may be important.

I have been viewing video Q&As from Megan Ramos. She is a consultant who works with Dr. Fung and the Intensive Dietary Management (IDM) program. I have joined the membership, and that's because I got a free month. I don't know whether it's worth the $39 per month to continue the membership, though. I am trying to work through viewing all the videos before the month is up. And I am also now a member of the IDM Community group on Facebook, too. So if I need answers to my burning questions, I'm sure I can get them there. I don't need the meal plans. I have a meal plan. It works fine for me.
It is 2:20 AM on June 6th, and I am really proud of the fact that I have beaten my best fasting time by 5 hours. I am at 115 hours fasted! Woo! Go me! I will make it to 120 hours this time. But I think that I should stop and eat after that. Not only do I want to try the delicious "keto snacks" I made for my husband that he has been enjoying all week, but Megan Ramos in an interview advised that we change it up to keep our bodies guessing. So I want to try doing 3-, 4-, and 5-day fasts followed by feasting days where I consume loads of calories. She advises against eating lightly on feasting days. That sounds like something I can do.
I do not plan to do OMAD on my feasting days. It's a bit ridiculous to get as many calories I need in just one meal. I plan to do at least two meals within a 6- to 8-hour window. I think that will work the best. We will see how it goes. I'm excited to try this pattern!
Also, Megan Ramos explained that there are pockets of sugar in our fat, and when we lose fat, there is a lot of sugar trapped in the fat. It causes inflammation, but it has to go through our blood to get out. So that may explain why my sugars have been really high while fasting. Especially since there is no insulin response while I am fasting. So insulin is not pushing the sugar back into the cells, and I don't want it to. I want it gone just like I want the fat gone! This eases my mind a bit.
