I fast regularly and thought my experience might be interesting for the community. Currently on day 6 of a 10-day water fast, testing blood 3 times a day. My ketone numbers so far
One observation - ketones drop after the gym, then usually jump back up by morning. Happy to answer any questions!
Other than water, I'd be curious to hear about what else you're taking in the way of magnesium, sodium, potassium, etc., like total amounts of water and those supplements. Anything else? What does the routine look like?
Water, sodium, magnesium, potassium, a bit of black coffee and tea. Regarding the routine, I am trying to stick to the same routine - gym, work, kids, but just no food.
I've done 2 x 8 day fasts and both times ended at about 9mmol ketones. I'll be curious to see if yours also spikes really high
In my previous fasts, the highest was 8.0, I never got to 9 😊 If interested, here is a page with my fasting results, including ketone graphs - https://fasting.center/fasting-results
By the way, did you work out during those 8-day fasts?
Did you feel hungry at the beginning?
Not really, hunger was an issue during my first extended fasts, but each fast it becomes less and less as an issue
