Here are two pictures of me from day 2 at 154.5 lbs. on the left and Day 3 at 153.2 lbs. on the right:
There are some links to good web pages in my Day 0 post.
Day 3: This was the worst day so far. I had a killer headache, but the terrible hunger pangs are almost gone. My legs are really sore. I’ve read that during the fast the body’s toxins can collect in the legs and make them really sore until your body expels them. My skin is also super oily. Ketosis is finally here. Ketosis is when your body switches from glucose to fat as an energy source. You run out of available glucose, so your body turns to fat as a source of energy and you start looking slimmer.
It’s kind of weird having so much time. You’ll be surprised how much time you spend cooking, eating, and cleaning up afterward.
My blood pressure started back down.
I drank approximately 80 oz. of distilled water and two cups of herb tea.
I forgot to mention that I stopped all medication and supplements while I am fasting.
Weight: 153.2 lbs
Total weight loss for the day: 1.3 lbs.
Body Fat: 17.4%
Muscle Mass: 37.8%
Water: 64.5%
Blood Pressure: 159/99
Pulse/minute: 100
For anybody interested these numbers came from a weight Gurus scale that links to my phone and a standard Samsung wrist blood pressure cuff.
Tomorrow I will share my experience of the day 4 on my water fast as well as results and pictures. Let me know if you notice any difference in my appearance.
If you have any questions, concerns, or advice please leave them in the comments.
Thanks!
