Lowest Weight of the Century

I’ve had a few questions about how I fast. There are probably almost as many fasting techniques as there are people who fast. I don’t eat any food or bone broth when I fast. Even though many people drink bone broth when they fast, I find it stimulates my appetite too much. So here’s what I do:
- Every few hours I place some course grain sea salt under my tongue. Sea salt helps replenish your electrolytes and placing it under the tongue promotes fast absorption.
- I will have coffee with sea salt, cinnamon, and Truvia (a stevia and erythritol blend). The sea salt helps to cut the bitterness of the coffee. The cinnamon helps to control blood sugar. I would be better off without the Truvia because artificial sweeteners do cause and insulin response, however I just haven’t gotten used to drinking black coffee. I am considering dropping the cinnamon because my blood sugar is well controlled now and the carbohydrates in the cinnamon may inhibit autophagy, one of the benefits of fasting.
- I sip water all day long to maintain hydration. You are better off sipping all day long because drinking a lot of water at once can deplete your electrolytes further.

Overall I’m pretty excited to have my lowest weight of the century. Hopefully it will be permanent by the end of February.
My next post will include updates for Fasting February. You can also read my last post with talks about the start of Fasting February.
