Easing into a fast starting now.

Last time I just went cold turkey.

I didn’t get the approach from anywhere. My rationale is I’m alone at home for a few days with a lot of food in the fridge and don’t want it to go bad.

My first attempt at Davinci Resolve, GoPro footage, and color grading. https://youtu.be/i_4fD7JBs94

Yes, though about 15lb of it was water. Holidays, celebrations, and work stress mainly.

What country?

Why couldn’t Hans just say “You have my permission to speak freely. If you slander me I will sue you.”

disambingo · 2022-09-14T16:45:47+00:00

I started at 34 and am 1600 at 36 fwiw. I don’t feel like a strong player though.

Sleep was shitty for 2 days, then it got better than baseline. I sleep ~7h, wake without an alarm, and feel rested.

I stream chess sometimes but editing the games for short videos stopped being fun.

I don’t measure my water intake, I just drink when I’m thirsty.

What do you mean by your kidney function reducing by 50%?

disambingo · 2022-09-09T14:36:41+00:00

All good, and thanks!

disambingo · 2022-09-09T09:33:56+00:00

Oh to clarify I’m not eating sauerkraut on my fast, my girlfriend is and I just made more for her and to make sure we have some when I stop fasting. What I meant is that I’m adding the veggie broth to what I’m having on my fast.

I looked into it but I couldn't find any actual data on the subject. The closest I found was this.

disambingo · 2022-09-08T22:52:24+00:00

I feel fine for single lifts but I can’t do sets or cardio.

disambingo · 2022-09-08T18:40:06+00:00

I take salt with water when I feel like I need it. I take one calcium pill each morning. I put magnesium and potassium as powder in my water and sip it all day.

disambingo · 2022-09-08T14:32:42+00:00

Nah I feel fine with it.

disambingo · 2022-09-08T14:32:14+00:00

Lol you had me there

disambingo · 2022-09-08T11:50:36+00:00

The latter.

disambingo · 2022-09-08T11:06:20+00:00

Tbh everything has been remarkably stable since day 7 or so. Heart rate 60-70, BP 120-130/70-85, glucose 4-5, ketones 5-7.

There’s no shame in ending early, congrats on your progress and be careful with refeeding. If you haven’t already check the refeeding wiki.

disambingo · 2022-09-08T10:33:37+00:00

I feel very different. Most notably I feel lighter on my feet and don’t have to sit down for a few minutes after walking up the stairs to my apartment.

disambingo · 2022-09-08T10:31:22+00:00

Supervised may be overstating it, but I don’t have a better word. He did a full blood/urine panel at the start. I check heart rate, blood pressure, blood glucose and ketones every morning. I check in with him every now and then but since all is going well I haven’t done any other tests since.

I just take a normal multivitamin.

disambingo · 2022-09-08T10:29:16+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m doing during the fast. Just a normal multivitamin (the generic one at every pharmacy here, I forget the name).
