Seven day fast - I am fasting from Christmas to New Year

I am three days in, with four days to go.

Age concern lunches have shut down for the festive season, and I do not like dining alone when everyone else is celebrating with family and friends - and is fasting the ideal antidote to festive over-eating?

I feel a bit short of energy - but I am OK,

Four days in - I felt great on my 5km walk yesterday afternoon... but my exercise routine this morning was difficult - is there any logical reason for feeling more hypo in the morning? I would have thought that one's blood glucose would have been topped up overnight. I slept well last night - with less palpitations and no raised pulse rate overnight: I have an Apple watch that I use to monitor my sleep.

Seven day Fast completed.On day 6 my 45minute stretch and exercise routine took me 68 minutes - and I did not attempt it on day 7.

I read somewhere that the rate at which you can get calories from stored fat depends on how much spare fat you have - and I was below my target weight - and as light as I had been for half a century.

Two days after completing the fast I am feeling OK - and their morning my 45-minute routine took me 46 minutes.

¿Results?It is not all about numbers...

I was down to my target weight before I started the fast - and it has taken me a week and a half to get back up to my target weight.

& Cosmo501 ... Over the last week and a half, since the fast, I have been feeling more energetic and athletic, and my skin seems better etc.

¿Do you have any more specific questions?
