6.5 days fasted: 156 hours. Down 8.6 lbs. since the start. There will be a rebound when I eat. Aside from the weight loss, I've had a remarkable improvement in my eye floaters; my vision is clearer. This I presume is due to the autophagy: my body cleaning up the junk cells. My long term commitment to periodic fasting is driven by the brain science that is showing prevention of Alzheimers and dementia. I suffered a life-altering TBI 5 years ago, and a major depression 25 years ago. My mental health and my brain function do better with ketones circulating. So I stay in some degree of ketosis all the time; the depression is kept at bay, my Post Concussion Syndrome symptoms are minimized and I lose weight (75 lbs. so far). The fasts bring ketosis up to a more healing/therapeutic level. It's a potent tool. If you are interested in learning more about ketosis as it relates to mental health and brain function here is a fascinating (and long format)video of Andrew Huberman and Dr. Chris Palmer discussing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjEFo3a1AnI

Fun fact: at 3,500 kcal/lb. and 50 lbs overweight, one would have 175,00 calories stored. That's what we're using when we fast. Fast on!

In the 70s when I was a young R.N. and low carb diets first became more well known, I studied the history of the diet. I was really intrigued when I discovered that it had been used at one point to treat things like epilepsy and schizophrenia. I even found a precise low carb diet for the latter. Very interesting to see all of the different medical problems that lower carb can help. I was severely injured in a car wreck in my early teens and was left with some permanent memory loss/selective amnesia so I am aware of how a low carb diet can help that.

Thanks, Y'all. I am breaking the fast today, but I'm going to take it easy. So far just a butter coffee.

I skipped my butter coffee, just had HWC in it, break-fast was delicious. I sat down at the table and set it, ate it slow and savored every bite.....it was awesome!
