Overcoming
I have been doing really well staying on track recently. I am a salad eating gal when we go out to eat, I am eating zucchini "noodles" instead of pasta for our family dinners, and eating my chicken curry without rice like a champ. Last week I decided to do a 36 hour fast. I wanted to see what my glucose and ketones did. My ketones hit their highest (.7, not that impressive) at 19 hours and just stayed put the rest of the following 17 hours. My glucose dipped into the 80's but came back up in the hour before eating. Before I did this fast, I watched a Mindy Pelz video amd she said you will know you are in ketosis when you have more energy and stop feeling hungry. Somewhere around 19 hours I stopped feeling hungry. To be fair, my stomach only growls a little here and there before that, but there was definitely a point where I noticed that I stopped thinking about food. Before I broke my fast, I was considering extending it to 48 hours, but I will admit I was frustrat...
