I would only do a fast if I experienced enjoyment. That may the reason I dont water fast. I only 'no solid food' fast. You know how to find the right path, good luck on the next experiment :)

Oh god That sounds terrible! Don’t force your body into something it doesn’t want to do. How was day 2? Maybe cycle through smaller fast with carnivore and then Keto before going back to a couple day fast? Once I get my schedule ironed out I’m going to plan a 44-48 fast each week with a beakfast, lunch, dinner day following it.

@jenjabba - It will be interesting to see how I lose when my fast restarts this Monday. I now have more muscle so I hope I get that 'pound a day', but, who knows? I am consuming a LOT more protein than I have in the past and we will see if that has an effect. I do plan to do a lot of cardio and weights...

Adwebserver ya, hopefully that muscle pays off with more calories burn. I'm considering lowering my protein. I think for me to dial in my fat burning i might need to test my blood ketones. I saw a few people what protein affected their body like sugar. Hmm. Back at it tomorrow. Gonna take a few days to get back onto full ketosis. Maybe I'll do liquid fast with ya. I can definitely afford a carton of heavy cream. I am still getting rejection letters in email for all my job application.

@jenjabba - I am with you 100%! Let's do this! :) I also suspect that my body treats high levels of Protein like 'sugar'...

too high of protein can effect ketones, though the body does need a reasonable level of protein for muscle development. I try to stay between 80 to 95 grams a day with my activity level. I have more trouble getting my calories in safe fats, it get the local store to give me some meat fat scraps, safe for me and it is no cost at all.
