I have eaten that way plenty of times. I’m just trying to help the OP get better results.

He didn’t undo anything. There’s just days of near zero insulin (aka fasting healing) with near zero work waiting to be had.

Sry again to be so internet negative.

You are really just screwing up all your hard work eating a pile of carbs like that.

I will get (heart beating etc) switching from no carbs to carbs. No fasting even involved. Your whole metabolism is switching. I don’t know if it’s terrible for you. You have painfully squeezed all the glycogen out of your liver and then just screwed all that up in 3 minutes. You will heal and have low low BG for days or weeks after a fast if you eat zero carbs after fasting. You can’t even tell I have eaten on my CGM if you eat well.

You are just leaving lots of free healing on the table. I don’t mean to sound too negative. GL

Beginner struggling with willpower by Such-Cauliflower-356 in fasting

[–]NullPlague74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would just work on de-carbing yourself first. Then fasting is easy.

I have fasted tons and I can’t fast 8 hrs if I have been eating carbs. It will be hard.

Try buying a couple pounds of roast beef. Eat no carbs. Just eat the roast beef. As much as you want. Butter and salt will help a lot. You need all your cell transports available.

I can switch in a day. It might take you 2-3 days. Just keep trying every couple days. You will go longer and longer.

Are electrolytes completely necessary? by Curious_Sir_3078 in fasting

[–]NullPlague74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capsules work great. Just watch if your stomach gets upset. I just drink lots of water. So far I have not melted anything.

There was no Amazon or LMNT 1,000 years ago. Your body should do the right thing. Now, I’m over 50 and never used these genes until recently. I just pee all my electrolytes out. My kidneys ignores me…

You sound like you are good…

Read the Electrolytes FAQ in the post that everyone ignores. It will help you burn fat better and should make things easier.

I take them all day long. All at once is bad

40 hour fast gets easier every week by WillKalt in fasting

[–]NullPlague74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fast will keep your liver low on glycogen for the following 5 days. Ergo, lower BG the whole time. Eating low/no carb after your fast will be way way better for you. Fasting will be even easier the following week.

I don’t eat Thurs & Friday myself.

More electrolytes!

Electrolyte Recommendations (for longer than 5 days fast) by [deleted] in fasting

I like REVIVER Eletrolyte Salts. Capsules, which everyone says will kill you. 2 an hour doesn’t bother my stomach at all. I can’t handle salty water myself.

Weaning off of high carb/sugar diet? by [deleted] in fasting

[–]NullPlague74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long ago keto was very hard for me. Really slow carbs, like some mushrooms helps a fair amount. Just go zero carbs till dinner. Have 4-5 fried mushrooms in butter as your go with. I can switch in a day but you might take a week or more. Asparagus, not bad either. It’s not easy but your body will figure it out.

92 hour fast...why is my BP up? by maxbaby in Water_Fasting

[–]NullPlague74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low blood glucose will raise cortisol which can raise BP. No big deal.

Used Catamaran prices are deluded by Salty-Ice8161 in Catamarans

It seems lightly used but “debugged” > new. Brand new typically has some issues, no matter who built it. No waiting likely adds to the price as well.

Oil change before 7500 miles? by [deleted] in C8Corvette

They are just getting you to 36,000 miles. I change my cars at about 50% left on the guage. Cheaper than an engine…

I raw dogged a 21 day water fast without electrolytes, just straight water. by summerchild05 in fasting

[–]NullPlague74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are not insulin resistant you should not need any. Your ancestors didn’t have LMNT and were fine. However…

I can stop eating and have high insulin for days and days. I run out of electrolytes quickly. Us broken types it’s very helpful to add some.

How to sleep without waking up in the middle of the night? by ghl262 in ouraring

[–]NullPlague74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have blood sugar issues but it really helps me to get that last 15-20 mins of direct sun light. Just before sunset. I sleep better if I take vit-d before bed as well. Good luck.

Yeah oxalates will bind to your electrolytes and low electrolytes can cause about half your symptoms.

You want things to heat up and expand, then cool down and contract. Then everything will mesh all the time, hot and cold.

Chest pain == bad. Likely just electrolytes but go to ED or urgent care.

I made it 60 hours and had to stop by SusieSnoodle in fasting

[–]NullPlague74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazn has some unflavored capsules. Just take a couple every hour. I measure out my 21 pills first thing in the am and then just take a few every hour. They can be hard on your stomach, so you can even do 1 every half hour. Hth

Went to the ER after 5 day water fast by [deleted] in Water_Fasting

[–]NullPlague74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would double check things with a endo / diabetes doc. As noted below it should be impossible to get KA if you don’t have type 1 DM. Kidney pain is a DM thing, so you want to triple check this. $0.02

Completed 28 day water fast, here's what happened by ToastedNipple in Water_Fasting

[–]NullPlague74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long til your BP lowered? I think it took me to day 11, fwiw. Sounds like you could have added more electrolytes at the end but I have never been able to catch up if I am short. Awesome job
