hello everyone!
today i'm feeling pretty great! I've got more and more energy returning and i didn't need much sleep at all last night! i no longer have that dull dragging fatigue feeling that overwhelmed me through days 10-17. My brain fog is lifting and I feel brighter and i can FINALLY open my eyelids all the way. My tongue is getting pinker, and my distilled water has been tasting sweet to me for the past few days. AND one of the greatest things, my skin is nearly all clear!
I plan to go two more days and then break my fast with Watermelon and cantaloupe :)
Here's my question: i read somewhere that ketosis at some points begins to slow down. is this true? and is it another sign that you are ending your fast to completion? for the fast few days my weight loss has been only about half a pound a day with my ketostix being as dark as possible. However this morning i noticed that my ketostix was not as dark as usual, yet i lost an entire pound.
thanks so much!

This is a reply to # 1,185,922Well done! Can't wait to see how you feel when you start eating again, and what you think about the overall result.
Not sure bout your questions, but as Chris said so long as you are not continuously hungry, all should be OK :-) - Re: day 19 update: feeling good! (an... chrisb1

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,185,922Hi bella lucia,
yes ketosis does slow down as the fast progresses: this is shown by less weight being lost in the latter stages to about half a pound a day, and by the bodys innate wisdom in preserving & economizing its food reserves.
Weight loss though can also be governed by a number of factors such as anxiety and activity, which probably explains the loss of a pound in one day.
Warm regards

Well done! Bella Lucia, i'm so pleased for you. I had a feeling you were going to post today and say you had a return of energy and clearer skin. I hope the eczema doesn't return when you start to refeed.
What proof though that the fasting process, is all good.
I'm really interested in the refeeding stage, as i think that is the bit that scares me if i go on a longer fast. I usually feel really strange after fasting for few days, when i have a bite of melon or pear, a rush to the head, and i don't really like that feeling, is this just me, or does everyone get that. Is it a blood Sugar rush i wonder.
Anyway, talk us through the refeeding as you do it please, as not enough people do that on here, it gets glossed over, and i'm sure a lot of people would be very interested.
Thanks, and once again, well done, i think you are a real gutsy lady.

Bella congratulations!
One note of caution though -- I've read that breaking a fast with foods like cantaloupe is very painful. Usually, I think people break fasts with diluted freshly squeezed orange juice, then progressing to pure juice, and then fruit, and so forth.

This is a reply to # 1,186,038thanks for your congratulations, autumn127!
and i think i should be fine with the cantaloupe. i've done lots of research myself and read tons of these forum posts, and time and time again people like chris and andrew actually recommend that you break a fast with juicy fruits (you don't even have to juice them, you can eat them straight) which is why I am chosing cantaloupe and watermelon. also, this is what my body is craving :)
yours truly,

This is a reply to # 1,186,239...and personally I think juicy fruits are more natural than juice, because that is their natural state. This is probably how we have broken fasts for 1000s of years.

This is a reply to # 1,186,038melons are what I usually break my fasts on. You certainly don't have to break your fast on diluted juice. When I have fresh lemons I will always have a glass of 60/40 diluted lemon juice because I read somewhere it's a good cleanser after a dry fast. Melons are great also though, they are one of the highest water content fruits, especially watermelon, and very easy to digest with heaps of benefits.
Don't be scared of them! :)
Andrew.

This is a reply to # 1,185,922That's fantastic bella. :) I don't think ketosis itself can slow down. Ketosis is the process of the body supplying all it's needs from it's flesh and stores. However if you are nearing completion no doubt the cleansing and detox will not need to be as full on and will slow down until you no longer need it at all.
Fantastic. :)
Andrew.
