Today’s focus: calm the brain

The second day of 48 hour fast
Tonight you will break your fast with ketobiotic meal

TODAY’S FOCUS: Ketones

Glutamate is excitatory
GABA is calming

“Studies show that a ketogenic diet can increase GABA levels by helping to facilitate the conversion from glutamate to GABA.”

Key point: the more you can get yourself into ketosis, the calmer you will feel.

Day 4 - Feeling great! Zero side effects.
7 kilos lost! Feeling amazing. For those struggling. Hang in! 😊

This is Day 4 for me. Yesterday was difficult, but this morning I woke up with a different “optimism”. Must’ve got through a detox door. I’m looking at recipes with plenty of good healthy fats to break my fast tomorrow evening. Also, trying on clothes I haven’t been able to wear in a while. Fasting is adventure in getting to know the physical body.

Intermediate faster here. Starting my second day of no food. So far, so good. I noticed a stronger sense of smell this morning and realized how rarely I allow myself to feel hungry. I wasn't sure I could get through these two days yesterday, but I am feeling determined today. 🙂

Guys I really admire all of you as I wanted to join you but as Monday I wasn't ready then I decided to postpone.
Perhaps when I'm not at work stressed up... I'm afraid that skipping the meals during stressing and demanding days might make me weaker...
Anyway I'm saving these videos and when ready I'll do it.

I'm doing Omad and I feel Gaba-euphoria everyday! Just awesome 🎉

Im on day 4 of a water fast, after doing a full body detox for 4 days before that so I was already in ketosis when I started my fast - and omg 😭 this is life 😭 I’ve never done a fast longer than 20hrs like once a many years back - this was for my health/weight/& mental health & I’m so proud of myself & just so grateful to have my brain healing 😭🙏🏽💛 I was going to stop at 3 days but have felt so good & not hungry, I’m like let me keep going!

Well I made it 68 hours and the got very light headed. I had a meal and will try to finish the week with a 40 hr fast. I think I didn’t have enough salts

Day 4 of my fast. I will go 7 days or break sooner if my body tells me to. On the first two days of all my extended fasts I have a fat broth (2oz coconut oil, bullion and water) to get past the hunger. By day three the hunger is more manageable. When I try to start a fast without a fat broth, on the afternoon of the first or second day I typically break from hunger. I start my refeed with the same fat broth, seems to work for me. This is a great series, I hope you do more like this.

Thanks so much Dr Mindy, I am doing the 48 hr fast, I feel great, have energy, slept good, feeling rested and calm. My glucose is: 97 a little high and ketones 1.5. Any comments on that? Thanks for all your help.

[ChuckFrasher]

I’m finishing my 2nd day. I take a gabapentin at night. I hope that’s not a problem. I was concerned it might interfere with autophagy or maybe NAD levels.

Dr Mindy I am soooo glad I found you and have been especially enjoying IF because of the great information you provide about the science behind it!
I made my mind up to do the happiness fast week and I can’t believe I am in my last 12 hours of my first 48 hour fast!
Last night I did some restorative yoga, foam rolling, grounding in the grass and took a hot bath. I found that focusing on other ‘physical sensations’ rather than hunger and the habit of eating in front of the tv, really helped.
Anyway, wondering this...
Is black coffee okay? I wondered if caffeine jacks with brain neurotransmitters.
Also would a liquid collagen and HA supplement that says 0 calories (contains no sweeteners- stevia or otherwise) be okay?

Seed Oils? Doesn’t that car inflammation - when I stopped using seed and vegetable oils, I felt so much better while still eating processed carbs.
