So be careful if you try it out...
Dr Jason Fung is my resource for learning about it.
I really feel more clear and focused when fasted. It's a personal preference.
I'll check that out thanks mate I have been struggling with grogginess and sleepiness
Days 1-3 are intense. Your body is switching from glucose as energy to ketones for energy so you are in a version of detox.
Alright what is the fundamental difference between a Ketone and glucose
As Sources of energy
I also lowered my caffeine down to 300mg per day. I have one cup at 1000 and my other cup at 1400.
Ketones are using your body fat as fuel.
Glucose is from carbs/sugar conversion; from my knowledge.
Again, I don't know it all and this is just something I am trying personally so do your own research.
I am recording it all and got my blood work done before I started and once I'm done I will get my blood work done again.
I also record my ketone levels via piss sticks.
Ok I don't drink coffee I think the more I drink it the more the tolerance I have for coffee
I suggest reading Dr Jason Fung's blog and listening to all his YouTube. It will take you a full day to consume it all but it's worth it.
What is piss sticks
Yes, coffee is intense. I am looking at transitioning to green tea instead.
In your opinion is milk fine
I pee on a stick that scores my ketone level.
I personally don't eat any dairy except kerrygolds (grass fed) butter and blue cheese.
Milk in tea seems cool.
Look up "smack fat" keton test stripes for more information.
Oh so you are really serious about your health
That's good
Health is wealth! :)
Exactly for the past 6 months i have also been trying to take care of my health my diet and exercise
Well, ketosis is one method for weight loss and lower insulin resistance. I use fasting and low carb eating along with lifting heavy weights and rowing as tools. But those are my tools. They may not work for you. There is no one way to eat properly so don't get locked into one ideal. Always experiment but make sure to give each method a proper test period (180 days at least).
I personally try to remain in "optimal" ketosis which is 3-5 mmol/L.
Right I usually follow the conventional method I haven't really gone for the unconventional methods yet
I was just trying to learn the unconventional methods and the science behind it
I'm excited for this fast though because I plan on going a little extreme... I plan on fasting as long as my body can take it. Once I enter "starvation mode" (hunger in throat instead of stomach and tongue losing all color), I will break my fast with beef bone broth, yogurt and dark green vegetables.
Yeah, for fasting I suggest Dr Jason Fung.
Ok
FUCK THE BANKS
Why?
Ever heard of the Federal Reserve system?
Ever wonder why everyone uses money?
Okay.
Or better yet, who controls and gets to decide why and how money is controlled?
Jews.
