Definitely have the munchies.

It isn't a terrible hunger, really.  Just an itch that doesn't seem to quit.  It is almost turning into a nervous tick.  I suspect others who try this go through much worse.  I am already a low-carb, better carb, eater.  I already eat a fairly low calorie diet, by intake not artificial "low-fat" production means.  Mostly protein and fat, per my own tastes, inclinations, and usual foods.  Took a while to get there, not perfect, but much better than some would suspect.  I used to be heavily that way, so found my footing in this style of eating much more easily than most coming to it for the first time.  And always leaned that way as well.  Proteins and fats just taste good and feel right in the belly.

Even so, twenty four hours without food, with food just right over there, is... can be... annoying.  Dinner arrived.  They were wondering about carbs.  I told them not to worry.  Just do as they do.  It'll add variety and such.  And on off nights, I'll just save the meal for the next night.  Twenty four, and change down... another nearly day to go.  Not actually a full day, at this point... just until 15:00... though I like to begin preps at that time, not eat right away...  Just... a control thing.  Well, and keeping the consumption window smaller, so as to keep the fast going a bit longer.

I may boil eggs tonight, a dozen or so.  That might also be a softer way to break a fast than more solid foods.  I've been reviewing various notions regarding what intermittent diets others use.  Some are absolutist about carbs.  I'm mid-level on those, though that is up for review.  If insulin levels don't drop as I wish then I will begin reviewing carbs.  Same with sugar replacements.  I am not going to complicate myself out of a system though.  If I have to give a bit, to make it reasonable, and thus it takes longer, as long as it is moving in the right direction...  There are limits.  I am not sure, at this point, if 48 hour fasting is too much or not.  I am pretty sure I could do 24 hour fasting, give or take, and every other day, easily enough.  But that would really slow the process.

Other than the itch, I am feeling pretty good.  I did have slight shakes for a bit.  My blood sugar was still in the 250's, at about 15:00 (very roughly) so I really wasn't going to give in.  That's just the body falsely rattling the cage.  I won't bother checking blood serum again until the morning.  I best get those eggs going or I'll forget.  Not a bad day.  And it was cool.  Later or good night.
