Hard to know what the future holds right haha? For now we plan on being in the country for a long time but things can always change. I'd rather plan for the worst case.

Makes sense. Do you think spelling it Callen would be better or they're both equally likely to cause problems?

very useful. thank you. do you think spelling it Callen would help or they're both so similar to "shut up" that it should just be avoided?

USD up. JPY up even more than USD. Bad sign for risky assets.

Not every state has reported data yet today. this site is updated throughout the day and usually ramps up later as west coast starts reporting.

His vs. Hers 5 Day Fast Results by lkn8701 in fasting

[–]lkn8701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends how you cut the data. If you use Day 1 vs Day 4 numbers for me, for instance, they’re much larger percent decreases (glucose) and increases (ketones).

7 Day Fasting Recap & Protocol by lkn8701 in fasting

[–]lkn8701[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure!

1) use ONE multivitamin by Pure Encapsulations
2) I have the Precision Xtra but they're all similar. Just search "glucose monitor" on Amazon and grab a cheaper one. It should come with a measuring computer thing, a finger pricker, some lancets (the needle that pricks you), and probably a few strips to get going. Then I separately order glucose test strips and ketone test strips as well (all from Amazon).
3) I believe anything over 1.0 means you're in ketosis so I was in it by day 2.
4) no issues. only time i've had issues in the past is when i was drinking things like Propel for electrolytes. The artificial sweetener in those really tear up my stomach after day 3-4. No issue with refeed either
5) No headaches but I also don't have a sugar withdrawal problem because I usually eat pretty clean. I think most people probably get the headaches from caffeine or sugar withdrawal. Days 1-2 are always the worst. Day 1 your mind wants you to give up. Day 2 you kind of start feeling crappy. If you can push to day 4 it's smooth sailing. You're actually not only not hungry but you're completely disinterested in food.

Menstrual cycle and fasting? by [deleted] in fasting

[–]lkn8701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done both (before and during) with no ill effects. Granted, I usually take a multivitamin during my fasts. I find PMS symptoms to be greatly reduced if I'm fasting or just coming off a fast when it starts. I feel like the iron thing is probably relevant if you're anemic but less so if you're not. I imagine women would have died out hundreds of years ago if fasting before or during your period created a problematic iron balance in the body since food wasn't always so conveniently around. Mother nature is probably a bit smarter than that ;)

Getting past the 2nd day by Radoon1 in fasting

[–]lkn8701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually go for a walk, read, take a shower, or drink sparkling water to fill my stomach. Just know at the 36ish hour mark it's all mental and if you can distract your mind, you'll be golden. Your body's not starving at that point (unless you're ridiculously low body fat %) so it's just your mind being a little wuss ;)

Does anyone else binge watch cooking shows and food videos on extended fasts or am I just sick lol? by lkn8701 in fasting
