First Meeting of Minnesota Ketonians

But I think there was a lot of good information shared. There was also a wide variety of experience,
from people doing keto for 4 years to just getting ready to try it out. Everyone in attendance seemed anxious for the
next meeting. I’m hoping this group will
be a good way for people to help each other succeed with the ketogenic diet. For now, I’m thinking there will be at least
a monthly meetup similar to this. Maybe
in the future we’ll have different kinds of meetups, like pot lucks or
restaurant outings.
I hope this information helped the new ketonians decide to
gain the advantages that the ketogenic diet has to offer. I also hope they weren’t scared off by
discussion about fasting. I want to
remind everyone that fasting is not a requirement for the ketogenic diet. You can be very successful without ever
fasting.
One point of failure, I neglected to get any pictures of the
meetup group. Despite that I assure you
it did happen and it was awesome! My
wife made some excellent keto peanut butter cheese cakes. I think they went over fairly well with the
group.
FASTING FEBRUARY UPDATE
My weight has been bouncing between 262 pounds and 254
pounds so far. I’ve completed a 64-hour,
a 63-hour and a 46-hour fast so far. I’ve
started another fast that I’m planning to be at least 5 days. Because of my flu, I kept the first few fasts
short. But I’m feeling much better and
ready to try something a little bit longer.
I also have a standing order at the doctor’s office to get my
electrolytes checked at any point. I
expect I’ll be below 250 pounds by the end of this fast. (Although maybe not permanently.)
