Well this is my second 5 day WF in two weeks. The first week was great, my blood Sugar dropped to 4.8 and stayed there, all great. This week though BS has stayed at about 6.5/7 and not dropped at all.
Plus I have felt pretty tired and rubbish.

Anyone any idea? Also don't seem to have dropped any weight this week. I am wondering if its a Cortisol problem as my morning blood Sugar is around 8mmol. (146) and takes ages to drop during the day.
Thanks guys

  Anyway don't monitor the numbers so constantly, just chill and fast.
  Every fast is different.
  
  And, Cortisol causes belly fat, and sometimes it has some side effects that are not so bad, like it has a feedback loop to HGH production. Look it up, I am not sure where I saw that.
  
  Thanks.

    I wonder if you have hit the nail on the head. I suffer from oral lichen planus, an autoimmune problems hence my fasting regime to try to reset my autoimmune system, however, I am prescribed betamethasone, which I have just found out, following your lead is a corticosteroid and may be affecting my cortisol levels..Which might fit in with my poor sleep, ongoing tiredness and difficulty in losing belly fat. . Do you have any inout on that? Is it possible?

      Yea that stubborn belly fat.
      
      OK I can do 1/2 the job. Get the belly to very very good status.
      However I have t oat some time start taking a cortisol reducing supplement. Dr berg has a formula I may try. I may try those neck massaging technics.
      
      I have the same cortisol issue I feel. I shrunk my legs and face and the soles of my feet. The stupid paunch was the last to go and its the first to come back.
      
      And fasting increases stress and that locks the belly fat in. However I feel after 4 days or so, I tend to stress out less. Maybe that could help.
      
      I am at a loss too effectively. One way to stop the ghrelin->cortisol feedback is to eat a nice chunk of butter or coconut oil or something when you feel hungry. That prevents one pathway that increases cortisol.
      
      Thanks.

        Spooky we seem similar.....
        
        I go to bed with a 4.8 ish blood sugar, wake with 7 ish. if I dont eat during the day it slowly rises to 8...but if when I get up I eat a nice fatty breakfast, say Avacado, fried mushrooms and egg, (even if I am not hungry) it slowly drop during the day (and I dont eat anything else), to 4/5 ready for bedtime.
        Maybe I ned to look at cortisol reduction. Unfortunately mr Dr is totally unsupportive in all of this so I have abandoned the medical profession.

        Waking up with high blood Sugar when going to bed with low (assuming you don't eat in your sleep) is called dawn phenomenon. That means your counter regulatory hormones are working well. No worries about that.
        Eating fats will lower it, but you don't need to. FBG of 7 is no worry especially when fasting.
        I don't know about your cortisol, but I lost 90 lb with or without the problem.
        Cortisol is my suspicion only because I am tending to put on weight in the belly very quickly. I pretty much can fit 32 jeans onto my legs but cant button it up. Need a 36. Or after a 3 day fast, I am a 33.
        Could be your condition - or not. But you need to get to the skinny side before you would have that problem. @ 10% BF, it matters.
        
        Thanks.

        Thats encouraging thanks.
        
        Like you I am struggling to lose belly fat. In hindsight maybe I should have upped my protein as I seem to have lost muscle mass as well as fat off my bum etc. but not belly...which is why I suspect cortisol.
        Have you lost muscle mass or just fat?
        
        I think I will augment my daily meal with egg and mushroom omelette with butter, that should up the protein.

        OK this is just my observation. And a bit of Dr Fung's research too.
        The fasts get more effective @ getting to fat and burning it I feel.
        I am more muscular now @ 160 than I was @ 150 the first time I got to 150. Subsequent passes @ 150 got me more and more muscular and I worked out just one session from 150-165 in the last week Jan-1st week Feb time frame. Any time I got to 150 I was more muscular.
        Protein/muscle catabolism occours mainly in the first 4-5 days of starting a fast. Pretty much a good reason to run long long long fasts till you're truly hungry again.
        Muscle is the first to rebuild when you refeed especially if you eat good nutrient dense foods. Cos fasting gets the insulin receptors in the muscles all very very alert and sensitive.
        You're probably burning up the worst, oldest, sickest most decrepit muscle anyway. Also autophagy covers other tissue too, skin and others, remove the old and replace with new.
        Thanks.
        Srinath.

        Yes I love that iea of autophagy...especially scavenging old viruses, rogue cells etc. I am a bit dim here but I presume your reference to 150/160 is hours?
        Currently my best is 5 days.
        
        How many fasts have you done? Maybe age difference here as well as I am 67, so decided to try to address a whole host of health issues, starting with Amalgams out and chellation 2yrs ago. Sort of if I dont do it know never will, but do find 4+ days a struggle, especially as I like my Scotch at night....hopefully its not that trashing my sleep. Waking always 4.30 - 5am.

        150 and 160 are my weight in lbs.
        I have done up to 20 day in the past, several between 3 and 10. But nothing from 10 to 20.
        Fast sends sleep into an erratic spiral. I've had insomnia for a couple days, hopefully today I'll not wake up in the middle.
        I actually am OK with insomnia, I hate the shivering @80 degrees I am doing now.
        Thanks.

        Day 6 of my fast, and the bad taste in my mouth and the coating on my tongue have gone.
        I recovered very very fast from my tennis yesterday, I had arm and shoulder pain from swinging the racket, foot pain etc etc all of which disappeared overnight.
        
        I dunno what it means. I am not hungry though, random cravings are gone too.

        158.8 this morning. I have a weird cold sore like feel at the ends of my mouth. And a coating peeled off the top of my mouth without warning.
        Generally have some light body ache.
        
        I have a couple of days of road trip followed by 4-5+ days of moving. Hope to fast through it all.
        
        Thanks.

      I believe fasting is not at all a solution for weight loss. In fact it increases the stress. In spite of fasting you can go for cardio exercises such as walking, jogging, running, cycling or summing. And of course keep your diet enrich with nutrients, fibers and proteins. Drink lots of water and avoid sugar for quick result.
