Day 3
7am
Was pretty cold last night but slept okay. Trying to wrap my head around something but really struggling - Yesterday morning I was 196lbs, during the day I drank 11 pounds of fluid (gallon of water, 36oz of coffee) and before bed weighed 197lbs. That's kind of crazy in itself, but I did work out on the 92F+ porch and did all the yard work so I can sort of get that. THIS morning I weighed in at 192.2lbs. I did urinate twice, but 4.6lbs is over half a gallon of water! I guess I was burning fat and exhaling water vapor and CO2 at a pretty high rate as I slept. Acetone level continues to rise, up seven points to 74 since last night and I have a strong metallic taste in my mouth. Both indications of entering pretty strong ketosis and thus burning soft, gooey fat. I am 58 hours without food, doing alright so far, seems like the secret here is lots and lots of water and supplementing sodium, potassium, and magnesium. I take potassium in the morning, magnesium at night. I'll also drink a PowerAid Zero moving forward.
Weight: 192.2lbs, -3.8lbs from yesterday, 5.8lbs lost total
Waist: 38.75inches, -.75 from yesterday, 1.25 lost total
BF%: 24.25, 1 from yesterday, 1.75 lost total
Verdict: Acceptable
7pm
Walked 4.8 miles today, 14 miles so far.
Day 3 yoga completed.
Acetone level up to 79, all the way up into the red zone on my meter. Mouth tastes pretty funky.
70 hours into this fast, not hungry but a little 'off' with a mild headache. Drank a gallon of water, 32oz of coffee and 32oz of grape poweraid, and a couple of cans of coconut La Croix sparkling water. Been a little grumpy, wife's been cooking really good smelling stuff and everything smells stronger today.
That's all for now.
