Breaking fast after 26 hours with home-cooked hot wings, celery and Ranch dressing. Y'all, lard is the bomb-diggity for deep frying!
All that aside, interesting observation on the carb spiking experiment. Before I did it, I had become hyper-sensitive to salty and sweet tastes. I had also lost all cravings for high-carb favorites..like pasta, bread and potatoes. Even though my 'spike' was only 115 g carbs, the next day, the salty/sweet sensitivity was gone, and I found myself battling cravings again.
Now, 16 days later, the sensitivity came back. I believe it is a function of keto-adaptation. I was back in ketosis the day after the spike, but it has taken an additional 15 days to get back to adapted. The cravings are again dissipating, and taking less time than at the beginning.
My thoughts on carb spiking? I won't be doing it again! I gained 7 pounds in the 3 days following it, and it took 2 weeks for me to take it back off, with fasting and very strict LCHF. I am not doing strenuous exercise, or weight training. I AM making an effort to be more active than I have for the past year, and when I work, I work hard.

That is so cool!Wouldn't it be nice if everyone in the 'first world' could experience that at least once? I have spent many years living in 'third world' countries, and experienced similar things. I believe on of the reasons I'm as healthy as I am is because I grew up in those countries, eating real food. I also picked up a lot of information about natural healing there. Did you know that gargling potato juice cures strep throat??

Yes, msk, it would be awesome! It also really helped me be grateful for the every day things that I once took for granted like hot water, a washing machine, dryer, air conditioning, etc! We stayed for 2 weeks. Hunny, I have never been so excited to wash and dry clothes! 😂 The people that can't see the things they have to be grateful for & smile about REALLY need to go for a couple of weeks! It was so peaceful and calming at the same time though. I have never felt so in touch with myself, family, and nature in my entire life! I would definitely jump at the chance to go again! My 80 simething yr old father-in-law smokes like a train (3 pks a day), and seems to be as fit & healthy as a horse! My 70 something mother-in-law can run circles around me! No, I didn't know that, but I DO know that my son get sick while we we're there and my M-I-L went and pulled up some type of weed/herd and made him a tea. Within a few hours, he was up & playing.
