Fasting Update and new YouTube Channel

It's been a long while since I've done an update on my fasting journey. Here I am 2 years later, still fasting regularly and following a mostly Carnivore Diet.

I've also been experimenting quite a bit with Fat Fast and for a quick reset, a bit of weight loss and to get back on track with healthy eating I find it super easy to do and just as effective as a quick Water Fast. New YouTube Channel

We were in total lock-down for about 3 months, without the ability to leave our homes. While my whole family was carb loading like there's not tomorrow I worked really hard to stay on track and not to emerge in the end a chunky girl once again. It was very difficult for me not to be able to walk my dogs, go hiking, swim in the sea and the normal physical activities I so enjoy.

The idea for a YouTube channel has been brewing inside of me for a while. I've tried so many different things when it comes to diet, beauty, exercise and anti-aging and I felt like this would be a good vessel for sharing some of my experiences. I turned 50 this March and I realized that there must be many other women out there dealing with crazy hormones, weight gain, wrinkles, low libido, etc., and perhaps some of the things I've already experienced and resolved can help others as well. After all, I am the self proclaimed queen of biohacking.

The topic for my latest YouTube video is Weight Loss and Water Fasting. Please check it out and if you'd like to see more from me, don't forget to Subscribe.

How to Break a Water Fast

As always there's quite a bit of conflicting information out there about how to break a fast. One thing everyone agrees on is that the fast needs to broken slowly and gently. You also need several days to go back to eating normally. For example, if you do a 7 day fast, you need about 3 days of refeeding. On a 10 day fast, you'll need 4-5 days and so on. How you break the fast will make or break the whole experience. If you go right back to your old way of eating, you can easily negate all the benefits of your fast. One school of thought insists on breaking the fast with fruit, more specifically watermelon and then lots of veggies and more fruit. Since my goal is to remain in ketosis, I will be taking a different approach. I will be eating protein, fat and some low-carb veggies, bone broth and lots of water. I would also recommend abstaining from alcohol for at least a few days so you're not overburdening your liver. Listen to your body. Don't force the food if yo...

8-day Water and Dry Fast Combo

As I'm coming to the end of my 8-day journey I wanted to recap some of my experiences with you. I found the water and dry fast combo much more manageable and comfortable to do. I did not really have an off day, which is quite common during a longer fast. My sleep was not very good, which can happen during fasting but I was never tired during the next day. I woke up refreshed even at 5 am. I did feel weak or light headed a few times but sucking on pink salt crystals fixed that problem very quickly, like always. I never forced the water, I just drank when I was thirsty so I probably drank less water than during previous fasts. The weight loss started off very strong. Almost 4 kilos during the first 4 days but then it stopped and even crept up a little. I found that a bit frustrating but I don't really have that much weight to lose so I'm trusting that my body knows what it's doing. I did have my period during the fast so that might also contribute to this. The ble...

4 Months Later - Fasting - Carnivore - OMAD

I know it's been a while since I've done an update. So here we are at the beginning of September already. Things are progressing really nicely. So much better than I ever imagined. I've slowly transitioned to a mostly Carnivore diet , consisting or meat, eggs and dairy with very little veggies and no fruit. I've continued fasting on a regular basis. Basically having just one meal a day on most days (OMAD) and then still doing regular water fasts as I feel the need. My weight continued to decrease slowly but very steadily. I wasn't expecting this at all. I would have been very happy just maintaining my weight under 70kg and here I am at 62kg. How cool is that? Yeah, I'm sure excited. Here's my latest before and after pic. Hopefully you guys can see the difference. I can tell you that I feel so amazing! I've had to buy a whole new wardrobe. I know, the horror, eh? I've stopped taking all my supplements. My eczema is a thing of the past. My Has...
