Day 2 of a planned 5 days of ‘no solid food’ fasting[i]Blood sugar 97 mg/dL[/i]
I didn’t 🏃🏾♂️ run yesterday, I haven’t run in two days ☹ I think that really makes a difference for me. I will run today. Recently, I seem to always gain weight one day during my ‘no solid food fast’, so hopefully this is the only day.
I can see my abs… however, they are not ‘ripped’. Let’s see what they look like when my body fat drops below 20%...
I tried something new yesterday, I make my 🥛 Protein shakes without the 💪🏾 Protein.. So I just drank Splenda, Heavy Cream, and hot water. Later I started to put it in tea and that was much better. This was not nearly as filling as a shake with protein, but it was ‘mentally’ much better than just water. I will try it again today.

Death of the calorie
https://www.1843magazine.com/features/death-of-the-calorie[i]”When food is burned in a laboratory it surrenders its calories within seconds. By contrast, the real-life journey from dinner plate to toilet bowl takes on average about a day, but can range from eight to 80 hours depending on the person. A calorie of carbohydrate and a calorie of protein both have the same amount of stored energy, so they perform identically in an oven. But put those calories into real bodies and they behave quite differently.”[/i]
[i] “Some people’s intestines are 50% longer than others: those with shorter ones absorb fewer calories, which means that they excrete more of the energy in food, putting on less weight.”[/i]
The end result, in my mind, is that ‘a calorie is a calorie’ but it ‘behaves’ differently in me than it does in others. I must log everything and make decisions looking at my *own* numbers.

Life is Good! Have a great day everyone!
