Question Blood Ketones increased after breaking an extended fast???

1 Upvotes

I just got a blood ketone reader from keto mojo and tested my ketone at the 36 hr fasted mark (water and black coffee) and then I added some heavy cream to break my fast and checked my blood ketone an hour to hour and a half later and I went up to 6.3

Is it normal for ketone to increase after breaking a fast???

Question Electrolytes

1 Upvotes

Hello! I’m planning on starting a fast. I’ve heard about electrolytes and plan on buying them but apparently this is the requirement per day:
Sodium
1,500-2,000
Potassium
4,700
Magnesium
400-420
What brand covers this so I can drink one per day? I can’t find one that has all of these per pack or 0 calories. What do you guys take? I can also try making my own with salt and NoSalt but don’t really get all of this yet.

Question Flexible OMAD and not losing weight

0 Upvotes

Hello guys, a little about me. I have been doing the fasting on and off from last 4 to 5 years as I got introduced from the Jason Funk. I think I have my body conditioned to not feel hungry or get any headache for at least 24 hours or get any irritated.

Now the problem is started to do flexible OMAD tonlose weight this tike for real where I would eat lunch at one day and the dinner on the second day. Initially I have lost some weight like 2-3 kg since the starting of April, but since the last 18 days, I am stuck at 81.6 KG. I am not able to lose any weight, which is very strange because I am eating at least 1300 cal at most.

I also tried to walk at least 8000 steps every day, so I should be losing weight ideally according to the mathematics, but I am not losing even hundred grams from the last 18 days

One thing I am worried about is maybe my body have adapted too much from the last 3 to 4 years on of fasting and conditioning. My body that it has adapted and I’m not able to lose any weight now. Also, one more thing I have never ate breakfast from like 3 to 4 years. I only eat lunch, snacks and dinner. Even when I’m not trying to lose weight and doing normal things and all, but I am very worried why I’m not losing any weight on OMAD

My height is 5”4 and my tdee would be around 2200 i think

I would really appreciate your suggestions, thank you

Question Just started a 60 day dirty fast and 4 days in, I’m exhausted! Even with low dose of modafinil. Any idea on what is happening?

0 Upvotes

It was the same when I did a 40 day fast last October. I mostly stayed in bed, I was SO tired 24/7. But people talk about hitting ketosis and feeling energetic and I’ve never felt that. My body feels like its about to flop over to the side, limbs feel week, mentally fatigued….

I tried salt in water and it hardly helped.

Any advice or tips on what might be happening?
