Had a good weekend staying on plan. I have also been experimenting with "intermittent fasting" and found it to be incredibly easy. I eat only between 12 noon and 8 pm, so in essence one fasts for 16 hrs of the day (including sleep). This seemed easier to me than fasting whole days several times per week. I have not been hungry at all in the mornings and find that I have an incredible amount of energy. I do not have cravings or hypoglycemic spells (those are awful!).
I also got an answer to the concern I had about by breath ketones being lower than previously. I was able to chat with the inventor of the Ketonix meter, and he said that what this shows is that I am now "keto-adapted," meaning that not only am I manufacturing ketones, but that I am burning them as fuel now. Makes sense. Surprised that the cravings for sweets has gone but I am glad to no longer be a slave to them.
Good luck to everyone else on this journey!
