a different kind of fast, day six

Yesterday I consumed:

50 oz lemon water
6 oz Milk Thistle
12 oz coconut water
10 oz coconut water
6 oz Milk Thistle
50 oz lemon water

My ketosis started at 80 mg and after my second serving of coconut water my ketosis levels leveled at 50 mg. I don’t think having ketosis that high is especially good or equals more weight lost. I find the periods of drinking coconut water makes the next day a little easier.

I still have a bad taste in my mouth that I have to brush out with a toothbrush periodically throughout the day and I feel on and off exhausted but besides that my detox is bearable.

I sometimes have stomach burbles but nothing unbearable or that lasts long enough to be annoying. I did have a bowel movement after drinking that much coconut water. It was not the same kind of bowel movement I have while eating. It is a lot similar to the sort of bowel movements I usually have during my water only fasts on the 15th plus days. I don’t think this means I am detoxing faster but I do think it is helping clean house as I fast.

Weight lost has been typical but oddly only in my breast. They look perkier! Who could complain about those sorts of results?

I also walked under two miles again on day five. It felt good since the weather was cooler and I had drank some coconut water before hiking.

So far day six I have consumed:
6 oz Milk Thistle
50 oz Lemon/lime water

Day six I am back to 80 mg ketones. So the coconut water had no prolong effect on my ketone levels.

I am debating if I should give myself an enema tonight. Just help clear out any toxins that are just sitting in my lower intestines. I do think enemas are helpful during a fast and natural just because we are different then when animals fast. Animals don’t eat the over processed food we consume. Their needs are specifically different besides there is documentation how canines will eat grass to help throw up any parasites they might have sitting in their gut after a long winter. Basically I am only debating giving myself an enema tonight out of sheer laziness. It takes a couple hours to administer and till the bowel movements are complete.

Overall, I feel alright. Socially I avoid most interaction and anything that might be drama fueled I am absent. I don't bother entertaining anyone who seems out to pick a fight. That is the last thing I need during my fasting. This is my personal time. Fasting is a very anti social period and I think people that approach me trying to argue to validate their small existence is pathetic.
