I ate a bit too much on Monday, and then for a few days I did pretty well, with lots of protein and vegetables, and without overeating, until movie night last night.
I'm not going to let this week be a second backtracking week in a row. To make sure I don't, I'm going to start this weekend's fast a bit early today. We need to replenish some of my grocery staples anyway. :-)
I watched a couple of Thomas DeLauer's YouTube videos this week. (I'm often trying to get more information about whether what I'm doing with fasting is okay, healthy, etc.) He's big on ketogenic dieting (that's not my particular wheelhouse, though I now understand that longer fasts are themselves ketogenic), and also on periodic fasting (which is more my thing). According to his thoughts on fasting, I might be missing out on some of the health and longevity benefits of deep fasting because on fasting days I take some vitamins and fiber and have some almond milk in my coffee. (He's okay with electrolytes, though.) The idea is that more complete deprivation during a fast turns on certain beneficial protective gene processes. I don't know if I believe all the hype around fasting benefits other than hormone regulation and weight loss, but I'll give that some consideration.
