2 contributions to Ember: 8 Week Metabolic Reset

72 Hour Fast, are you joining us?
I’m so excited to introduce you to the 72 hour fast! It’s the most elegant fast in our fasting repertoire. It contains ALL of the benefits in each fasting window, with the addition of an immune system reset! I created a one-page checklist to give you information easily referenced. It’s attached here, and also in the Week 8 folder. On Sunday, Karla and I decided we were going to start our fast Wednesday. Will you join us? Is anyone using a keto-mojo or blood glucose monitor? For me, the biggest symptom while fasting is fatigue or headaches. I will use a fasted snack first, and a hot bath when able. There’s a section on the check list for detox symptoms. Please use the group for questions or just to share. We’d love to follow along. Wishing you a successful fast, no matter the length! Each time we fast, the body has an opportunity to heal another layer. 🦋

Popping in to say that I completed a 36 hour fast earlier this week and began a 72 hour fast Thursday evening after a neighborhood cookout. I wanted to experience this type of fast with the group, before our time together is completed. Yesterday I had two eggs one hour apart as a fasted snack. Today, I had an egg and half an avocado 2 hours apart. I'm doing well...drinking lots of salt water and also had the instant coffee this morning that Holly recommended a number of weeks ago. I seem to be doing well. Will break the fast tomorrow night at 7:30 while on our last zoom session. Hope I'm doing the fast correctly. 😊

Wednesday Check-in!
How’s your week so far? This morning, I was at the coffee shop and they were all out of frittatas. I ordered the breakfast enchilada instead, and it was made with a flour tortilla. I asked for sour cream, and used this as a fat to help stabilize the carbs from the flour tortilla. What are some of your creative ways you’re approaching stabilizing blood glucose?

Hey fellow Ember friends...It's been fun reading all the entries. I don't generally eat breakfast and I drink coffee once or twice a week. I currently wear a retainer as my teeth were straightened last year....My dental journey has broken my habit for snacks. Too much of a hassle to take out the retainer to satisfy a craving. So...when I eat at lunch and dinner, I make sure I'm satisfied before brushing my teeth/flossing...all the stuff...to then get my retainer back in my mouth. Prior to the journey with my teeth...I was a "grazer". Eating a food stack is a new concept for me, and it really seems to be working...I like it! I made a larger batch of quinoa on Monday and have incorporated this into my noon meals and some evening meals. I've been using avocado and various meats throughout the week as well. The first day, I noticed I went to bed with a headache. Not sure what that was about as I don't often get headaches. For lunch today, I had raw veggies, one slice of leftover Antonio's Pizza, and a side of quinoa spritzed with olive oil. I was still hungry...thinking the Pizza had something to do with this. So I had a handful of almonds and pistachio nuts. I looked up the pistachio's to see if they would compliment what we are trying to achieve and it appears they are a good source of protein. I am struggling with one thing...could use some suggestions. For now, I am all things cow milk dairy free. Would like a good milk/creamer substitute. I did some research and found a Macadamia nut milk with very little extra's and good reviews. Many brands add things to thicken the consistency. This one looks quite clean.
