day 5 of revised..

10 am

Blood/glucose 7.4 an increase of 1.8 in the last 11 hours though I haven't eaten anything. Strange brew look what's inside of you. Maybe the potassium dye.

Weight 113 kg same as last night.

BP 140/84 pulse 80 a little bit more than last night but still good.

Will eat again tonight. Allopurinol 600 mg a day. Stopped taking Metformin against doctors advice. Want to see if its the cause of my lactic acid type pain in my left thigh. Having a nuclear scan in 30 minutes to see if it is bone cancer.

Negative. Nothing a good shot of cortisone won't fix.

4pm
Blood/glucose 6.1. Yipee.

day 4 of revised...


Missed day 3 but ate breakfast lunch and dinner and at end of day had a high blood/glucose 12.1, weight increase of 0.3 kg and high BP.

Today  8 am. Blood/glucose 11.5, BP 159/93 pulse 90 weight back to 115 kg. Going to fast till Friday night (48 hours).

2 pm   Blood/glucose 7.9  BP 140/77 pulse 86. Brilliant. So high blood pressure can be reversed by fasting for 18 hours, maybe even less. Amazing.

11 pm
Blood/glucose  5.6
BP 136/86 pulse 73
Weight 113 kg. Lost 2 kg in 15 hours. A fast fast.

day 2 of revised dieting fasting whatever.

No food. 250 mls water



9 am

Blood/glucose 7.1 same as last night


6pm

Blood/glucose  6.1 no meds except the allopurinol and some pain killers and antibiotics for chest infection.

BP  141/78 Pulse 82.  Just about perfect. What the hell. After just 2 days of fasting my BP and B/G are normal?

Weight 113.3 kg a loss of 4.2 kg in 2 days and a loss of 1.7 kg in 24 hours. Very interesting.

Ketones 0.


We have a guest staying over tonight. I might eat some dinner. I last ate Sunday night 7 pm. Was planning to eat lunch tomorrow. Maybe fast 2 days then eat 2 days alternate?


Ate full meal 9 pm. Now 11.30 pm.

Blood/glucose 8.4

BP 141/75  pulse 96 still good

Weight  114.6 -- 1.3 kg gain since 6 pm. Meal weight about 300 gms, drank about 200mls of water and some milk. Also had a small bowel movement, mainly fluid 300 mls. Urine about 200 mls so cancel each other out. 500 gms in,  500 gms out. So where did the 1.3 kg gain come from? Breathing? If you can breathe out fat (fluid) maybe it's possible to breathe it in after eating.

day 1 of a revised method of fasting.

Monday morning 8am AEST

BP 156/88/ pulse 81  
Blood/glucose 9.2
Weight 117.5 kg


Going to try something else to get my weight down. Not sure what I'm doing yet.

In the beginning of this year I water fasted for 42 days and lost 24 kg.

My diabetes was apparently gone when I last weighed 101 kg and without medication but for the past 2 weeks I'm taking 2000mg of  Metformin and sometimes 3000mg a day and the diabetes still seems out of control. Usually the readings are around 9 to 12.

13 hours later. Nothing to eat or drink except 600 mg Allopurinol and 90 mg codeine for leg pain. Last of the codeine.

BP   156/92 pulse 83 still bad
Blood/glucose  7.1- wow.
Weight  115. Lost 2.5 kg already and no bowel activity? Amazing.

 "..and I've got it in my head that the final Crunch is due in April, Mars time, "  Sat. 21 Feb Day 84



Well I know this may sound a bit weak but I'm thinking something significant happened last Thursday and Friday on the NY stock Exchange. (29th/30th April.)

There was a considerable drop in valuations across the board lasting the whole week then wham, on Friday they were all back up again as if nothing happened. Did a miracle happened or was it the work of the Plunge Protection Team (PPT) again?

The following week (5th May) the Australian Reserve Bank dropped interest rates to a new low of 2%. Something is definitely amiss in the US economy. Bill Gross thinks so as well.

"As it is, in 2015, I merely have a sense of an ending, a secular bull market ending with a whimper, not a bang. But if so, like death, only the timing is in doubt. Because of this sense, however, I have unrest, increasingly a great unrest. You should as well.

-William H. Gross"

Today I reached my original weight of 113 kg, 112 days from when I started the 42 day fast. For the whole of March so far I have been hovering around 110 kg but today I made it back to the beginning weight I started with on the 30th November last year.

Also my blood/glucose is 10.3 mmol/L and BP 159/96 pulse 83. Bad. Not good. Interestingly my blood/glucose was 9.8 on the first day of the fast.



This afternoon I was talking to a sales assistant in a health food store. She knew about my 42 day fast and sort of scolded me, telling me that I would have lost heaps of muscle mass. It never happened that way. Once the fast finished the lost fluid came back with a rush, 8 kilo in 4 days and with very little food, and my muscles filled out as before. Gradually I returned all the water that I lost and I must say even though my stomach looks like it belongs to a silver back gorilla, I look pretty good, especially for a 71 year old gorilla. Quite muscular in fact.

Since then I have been looking at humans from a different direction. I now see them as hydraulic machines rather than just muscular ones, their strength reliant on how much red fluid they can pump into a muscle cell to expand it and using minimal effort or pressure to do so. Fascinating. Such a clever idea with the stomach probably acting as the hydraulic fluid reservoir ready to convert fat into water and gas as needed. So the conversion of triglyceride fats into water and CO2 is an ongoing thing and if not replenished by food intake a loss of weight ensues. Possibly.


Pushing the envelope. Always pushing the envelope. No fun otherwise. I realized today why we bend our heads forward when we eat. It's to reduce the possibility of choking from gravity putting the food into our airways I think. Maybe.
