Answer

Broke my 72 fast yesterday with some bone broth, then an hour later [probably too much] chicken, veggies. Then a healthy all-in-one shake with a banana, which surprisingly didn’t take me out of ketosis, according to the piss strips.

I was curious today what my weight would be. I started at 208.6 or something (too lazy to check the whiteboard) and finished around 202.4; this morning I weighed in at 203.5, which is fantastic.

Today I roll into another 48 hour fast, per my plan to do at least one of those a week, with every normal day being either OMAD or close to it, maybe 20/4.

Sleep continues to be shit, probably because I’m drinking too much coffee (“But it helps me fast!” dumbassery) and am going through some relationship issues. Will try to drink less today.
