6/27/18: Started second fast after dinner 6/27. Shooting for 4 days again. Will start food gently again on Sun 7/1 evening. Broth and an egg, then pate and macadamias, then beef or chicken or fish with spinach/chard/kale and some cheese. Research is difficult to pin down, but might be that glycogen stores are used up in 1 day, sedentary so may take longer. Then healing state begins after 2 days. Want to give body some time to work it's mojo and make a difference with my knee. Going barefoot mostly for 2 days prior to fast and during fast - thinking maybe shoes are contributing to bursitis knee as less pain without shoes. Not a long term solution!! But bursitis did come on suddenly with an ill-planned bout of exercise one night. So maybe once healed, shoes will be OK. Plan is: Once not in pain for 4 days straight and doing stretches, will add strengthening exercises for quads, hams and adductors. Will also restart light stretches for elbows and shoulders and hands. Fasting makes me feel optimistic - I really do think there is something to the studies showing it it can alter depression. Makes sense to me given that I think the non bio-chemically induced form of depression is basically a lack of hope and possibility to leads to bio-chem being off and being depressed.
6/28/18: Fat scan 46.5. Drinking water and munched a few Himalayan pink salt crystals. Weight down 2 lbs from water loss I guess? Was energetic at end of 1st day of fast - did too much on my bad knee, but seems OK this am. Was pretty hungry last night and woke up a few times due to energy I think. Am very hungry and plenty mentally alert this am - tummy growling and feels bunched up. Will drink some tea, do some stretching. Makes me smile to think about taking care of myself:) Did notice last night sitting in bed that heart had fluttered one maybe two times. Will keep an eye on that. I recall it happened, minimally, on my first fast as well.
