Fasted from 6:30pm last night to 1pm = 18½ hrs. Ate from 1pm to 2pm. My body must not be in Ketosis because I was shaky and miserable from about 17 hours on, but did not want to eat until I got to the special Christmas luncheon. Of course, if it had gotten any worse I would have gone ahead and eaten something because I drove. I, as intended, ate everything. I do see on the internet that some people take a “treat” day, and some even think it is a good idea to mix it up once in a while when you stop losing. That is not the case with me. It is just the holidays, and I had already bought a ticket and was going to take someone else, so decided to break my diet for today and fast after, skipping dinner and see how long I can go in the morning. Not having to go out tomorrow, I can get shaky and miserable. It's okay. My body is not adjusted to Keto or fasting yet. But I want this so badly, I can deal with it. My top priority in case anyone reads this, is my brain. I got a little scared about 3 months ago when my thinking felt more fuzzy than just normal aging. I recently read a couple of books on dementia, because of my husband and am appalled at the statistics of near 50% by age 85 of Alzheimers. Sugar speeds its progress more than any other thing. My motto now: “I need my brain, I want to be independent!” If I am one of the 50% heading that way, I want to slow it down. I am fiercely independent and don't ever want to be in a nursing home, and won't have anyone to take care of me anyway. My husband has one foot on a banana peel with his health, and is loosing his memory. He won't stop carbs and sweets. My sister uses a walker, is diabetic, wears about a size 24, and is deteriorating fast. My sister in law has terminal cancer. Our daughter has stage 4 cancer. Our son was killed by a drunk driver. There is no one else. I am pre-diabetic now, even at normal weight. My fight for my brain will include intermittent fasting and Keto. I believe it is my best option. Yes, there are other ways to help, like my love of reading, and exercise, and yes, I will work on those things. But this looks serious enough to me to be willing to do this. Not fun, but doable. I admire the heavy gals that are doing this for the positive change in their lives.
