 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
