I know you've decided to Feast over Christmas and Fast for a few days after - and I'd like to wish you the best for Christmas and Beyond - hope it all goes very well.
I'm not committing to any Fasting myself - as I must admit that I've been enjoying my food far too much - but I do want to wish you the best for all your goals, and I think you're doing really well.
48 hours in I walked 6km - and I think that that got me into well into ketosis and autophagy.
I broke my fast after 68 hours, a kilo below my target weight.
I woke up with palpitations - apparently, this is a normal side-effect of ketosis, particularly if you have low blood pressure, as I have.
I took an ECG (no Atrial Fibrillation) and noticed that my pacemaker was working at 66 beats per minute - and it does not normally come on at rest much above 50.
My gizmo indicated that my pulse was about 55 when I fell asleep, and twice peaked over 85!
Some might be concerned by these numbers - but I do not feel hungry, and I would have continued the fast if I had not got lunch with my son scheduled for today.
