Fasting Journal : Passing the 2 day mark.

in #fasting8 years ago

I mention this because I did get a surge of hunger sensations at 2:pm that lasted for about 15 minutes. I'm guessing that's the Ghrelin cycle doing it's daily thing still. Not bad, 5-6 on my scale, which means just barely physically noticeable. A little warmth or emptiness in my stomach and nothing else. No weakness, irritability, or distress.

In response I did a little of my exercise routine, a homemade merging of tai chi and yoga that gives me stretching and body weight exercise at the same time. No noticeable change, but honestly, with my physical limitations, that's not really a way to judge anything. I keep thinking it would be fun to dig out one of my glucometers, although I am sure their batteries are dead by now and the strips outdated.

Because I wonder if the random spikes in hunger sensations are due to sugar levels changing. One day soon we'll have inexpensive, constant, and non-invasive BG testing that might tell us a lot about that.
