First photo is my Ketone test at 36 hours after I woke up in the morning. The 3rd box from below with purple color. The darker it gets the more ketone in my system.
Although I didn't drink any water, I would still have urine. These are metabolic water that our body gets from recycling old cells.
At 44 hours, I decided to give up because I had some physical work coming up also a presentation this evening. I was scared of me feeling sick. I know presentation require a lot of energy.
Here you can see the purple in the darkest level on my test strip. My body had gone into the fat reserved and burned a tone of energy and the autophagy process had been max.
It's OK to fail from reaching our goal. The journey had already begun and my body already received the benefits of skipping 5 meals. My first meal was a pear. Hmmm... it was so delicious after 44 hours of fasting. I then had a big bowl of fruit salad. And my dinner I had some vegetable, cauliflower, and rice.
I'm happy that I'm entering my feasting cycle for 3 days. But I'm still 1 kg away from my target weight, so I would still be careful with my feasts. Hopefully by next week, I can reach my ideal perfect weight of 69 KG. I can do it!
Some of my friends asking the question why you let yourself suffer!? Well, let me show you a slide illustration scientist's experiment of calorie restriction with monkey.
Fasting monkey are healthier and living longer. The effects on human are 4 folds due to the proportion change from monkey to human. At same 28 years old, the top photo you can see the monkey appear not as healthy.
