I missed out yesterday as I realised that I'd taken day 1 as when I started fasting - which as it was 4.30 pm wasn't very smart. Now I'm back in line.
I did 120 hours and then started feeling a bit nauseous so I had an ounce of parmesan chhese. My ketones last night were 2.2 and BG low - healthy low. Today I'm eating as I still feel a bit queasy as I know that it is a signal to eat. No use making myself ill. I'll have a good day of eating lots of protein/fat and nuts/veggies as carbs. Then from 4.30 pm today it's back to it.
I'm reading a fascinating book - Guts by Giulia Enders. She writes in a way that a non scientist like myself can enjoy and understand, no jargon or gobbledygook. Science actually knows little about our gut biome but are now learning about it. Could sorting our guts cure depression? I'm not sure whether it was from this book or from (another good one) The Diet Myth by Tim Spector that I learnt that we have a gut brain - our 'brain' neurons come to about the size of a cat's brain.
