It takes much less time to reach ketosis and burn fat without the prolonged sensation of hunger or cravings...

Boy this seems to be true for me. Started fast Sunday night and readings from Monday morning (baseline) and Tuesday morning (36hr or so in)
Base:
BG: 107 mg/dL
BP/Pulse: 99/68/68
Urine Ketones: Negative
Weight: 124.4 Kg
EOD 1 (36hrs)
BG: 106 mg/dL
BP/Pulse: 106/71/67
Urine Ketones: ~50 mg/dL
Weight: 121.4 Kg
We know that urinary ketones don't mean much other than if there are some in your urine, you are producing extra. But this 36hr period show that I stared cranking them out quickly. I must have been in ketoisis or very close on start day. There was no pain or struggle "getting back into ketosis" It feels to me like it's a sliding scale, not an off on switch. |
