I have no doubt, you will get good results. Fasting also has other benefits besides weight loss, one of them is cleaning out the arteries. Good luck on you fasting!

@Steven Anthony - You are correct. I feel a healthy as I have ever been in my life. Also, my wife recently came down with a nasty cold for a few days. Me, I was fine! :)

You mention testing your blood sugar... maybe some of the foods you eat affect your blood sugar unusually. A neighbor of mine was recently diagnosed with out of control diabetes; her numbers skewed into three digits. No one knew why; she followed the diet religiously. It turned out cauliflower messed her up. ??? And she can eat as much cantaloupe as she wants with no issues. She had to fast and test every food she ate, testing her blood, until she found the foods she could eat safely. And now she's fine.

Nice work. So pleased that you decided to toss BMI, which is useless for fit people, and adjust your scale weight goal. Def the right choice. I have had the scale go up while fasting. It doesn't matter. Just water. If you are taking in sodium, your blood volume will increase. Also, your body replaces fat with water at the cellular level when losing fat rapidly. In a day you will have a 1-2 pound drop. Everyone will cheer, but the reality is we're just celebrating yesterday's fat loss. Fat loss in a consistent deficit is linear. Scale weight loss is rarely linear. See Lyle McDonald's "Whoosh" article for more on this.

A true fast is with water only, maybe some green tea or coffee for the body to rest and reboot. Anything else can trigger BS. And also when burning fat you can have echoes of high BS or some people will. I am one of those people.

Dawn Phenomenon - it's the last of the blood sugars to go down and will be about your highest.

@Inacarsometimes - I totally agree that a water fast with 0 carbs is the best. While I get a little better wit each fast, I just seem to not be able to get to that 100%.

@jimmiepop - Thanks for the support man! I will check out that article!

@minitata - Thanks I will check my levels throughout the day today.

@SoCalPam - Yes, I am totally with you on this and plan to test myself throughout the day. I am only drinking water, green tea, home made beef broth, and coffee, but I need to see if something is triggering the higher blood sugar (other than the 'dawn effect')

I’ve been wondering if my small drips on the scale have something to do with salt intake. I’ve noticed that I don’t sweat as much when working out and I don’t have to pee every 5 minutes anymore either lol

Oh and do you think the fake sugars could be affecting you?

.. also I realized I am taking 800mg Motrin for tinnitus...

@CrashtestDawnie - Fake sugars are the number one suspect. Will monitor myself during the day. I got the liquid Splenda but not surprisingly it doesn't taste nearly as good as the granulated one that has 'fillers' (that are basically carbs). However, for now green tea with Splenda makes me happy. I am willing to take slower weight loss for now if it turns out this is the case. I may change my mind in the future. For example I did not have a Big Mac this past weekend and I wont have one this weekend. THAT is a MAJOR change for me :)

Hello im new to this i wanted to ask you how does “fasting” work? Do you now eat at all just drink liquids? Thanks in advance :)

@CrashtestDawnie - 'less liquid leaving my body' has been the case during this entire fast.
