wow, nice drop!! 

Awesome job 😊 

Thanks. I'm trying to get my metabolism to a better point (highly insulin resistant still after 8 months on Keto-but much better than I was), so I'm fasting several days a week. I'm finding that doing it more than 48 hours (max 66 hours so far) is more effective because of extended periods without insulin than eating once or twice a day.  

Based on the research on fasting, people fasting for 2-5 days tend to loose an average of .57 pound a day (all fat), which so far seems consistent with me. The only "re-gain" I have seen is the weight of the food I've ingested the day following breaking the fast. Of course, that isn't real weight, so so-far, I'm satisfied with the results of fasting from a weight perspective. I'll wait a few months to have the doctor re-test to see if any of my metabolism or inflammation markers improve (which I'm expecting)
