 If you can get bone broth that is olay to use to try to keep the fast going. I come off a fast with that every time and very slowly 
 hmm, i have a heap of goat chops that have been in the freezer borderline too long... perhaps i should thaw it all out, cut the meat off and slow boil the bones up

i wish i'd ate more of that stuff but i'm really like, normal butchers don't do kosher draining, the animal should be bleeding out until the slashed up neck veins fully congeal... all that blood in there really bugs me, i don't like the taste of it

i have a very sensitive nose, i'm sure most people can't literally smell their own ketones in their nose, for me today it has been incredibly irritating 
 ohshit i can actually still eat this stuff fine... i estimate it's just over 3 months in there

fuck it, i'm gonna just stew it up, and just slowly start by drinking the broth and then refreeze the stewed meat parts and eat them when i get through the full week i want to achieve as minimum... but i want to start on the broth now, and taper from here

i never went full keto before in my life like this, it's far out lol 
 yeah, i'm gonna do this... and i think i'll start asking the local butcher guy, though it may not be quite the right time to get goat... most of it is males, they don't produce them commercially, and i don't think they feed them grain, so, it's plain old natural goat meat

i have observed before after eating it feeling distinctly better, so i'm gonna just start with making broth and store up the meat parts to eat in a 4 days time

it won't take me out of ketosis which is a really good thing, i want to stay in ketosis for a long period if i can, i just am totally shattered by how intense this is i need to be able to work 
 anyhow i have plenty to go on with, at least 2 weeks of meat in the freezer

also gonna start doing the bullet coffee thing, got some cacao butter, and i'd rather that, but butter is ok, and i'm gonna organise some actual beef dripping, i need that most of all, it's the best fat, the king of fats for human diets, and especially for keto, cacao butter is good too but it tastes crappy in comparison 
 A full week your first time is probably biting off too much at once. Be willing to end this fast if you are too weak and try again in another few weeks. But good luck! 
 yeah i'm gonna just ease back... first just to drink the salty broth of this goat chops and then maybe put it in the fridge and eat it as my break-fast tomorrow

the ketosis really messes up your stomach and your appetite for actually eating, i mean, seriously

the biggest motivation to start this fast, was peripheral neuropathy, a sign of continuing escalation of my diabetes, and that has to end right here

now i am keto, i can stay keto much more easily, it's hard to get into keto, i thought i'd been there before but that was nothing like this

i definitely won't get escalating issues from insulin resistance if there's no sugar coming through my digestive system, it should help

and the total turning off of food that allowed me to do this fast in the first place, that has to be helpful with transitioning to a new diet

and it needs to be said, alcohol is not in that diet... it was just mitigating the insulin resistance a bit but generally making everything else worse
