2 day fast ....🙆

🙆   I have done some intermittent fasting...I like some time without food.
Studying and listening to several Doctors about the benefits of fasting...I feel
that it gives the body some time to clean out through the process of autophagy.
In my experience there is increased energy after a couple of days.
I just did a 2 day fast with water and tea and lemon and lime sparkling water.
The trickiest part of the 2 days was filling the time that would normally be taken up by eating.
Sometimes I am occupying time by shopping for foods. I was in the city and in a great grocery store  in Rochester called HART'S.I could get interesting things that are not available in my local area.
I got the MACRO greens  which are sprouts of beets,radish,brocolli and other seeds. When I was is in SPAIN there were beet seed sprouts(very pretty magenta ) on the salad bar of the Low Carb Universe conference I attended.
I also shop for different olives.I got hooked on them in Mallorca.I used to gag at the thought of eating olives.I never knew they are a fat source,hence,they are a satiating food.My tastes are shifting from sweet and bread and cheese puffs to olives and coconut oil....go figure!!
During the fast I was not technically "hungry". Having been eating LCHF for over a year now I am fat adapted and burning my stored fat. I measure blood glucose  daily and use Ketone strips to monitor.I feel great!
I broke the fast with a nice meal .
some carbs in the avocado and the greens
0 carbs in salami,olives,oil
a few in the cheese and chia seeds
and maybe the pepper coating
pepper coated salami,
smoked swiss cheese
green olives
1/2 avocado
macro greens(sprouts)
mixed salad greens
oil and vinegar.
chia seed sprinkle
