Jamie and Seong's Keto and Fasting Blog

We spent a few days in the Olympic Peninsula, staying at an RV in the Whiskey Creek Beach RV Park and Campground (https://www.whiskeycreekbeachnw.com/). We liked it, but there were cabins there that were probably nicer. Next time we will probably choose one of these, although they run entirely on propane, no electricity: Later we did… Continue reading July 18

After several days without weight change, my weight suddenly fell from the 181 range to about 178.8. Very pleased with this. I’m being very good about carbs and timing of eating, and exercise too. 178.1 is my lowest over the past year, so could beat that, and 175 seems very possible! Also, noticed something else… Continue reading June 18

Today, we each blew just a 3 and that surprised us. So I checked serum values and ketones were 0.4 and BS 108. This does show that the Keyto device is working, but it’s hard to explain the dramatic drop in ketosis. We did each have one ear of corn, one square of chocolate, and… Continue reading 5/31 Not as ketotic

I blew a 5 and Seong a 7 (woohoo!) today, and I’m at 183.2, a little lower. And fastest run yet: Seong tested ketones (1.6) and glucose (75), after 14 hr fast except coffee with cream. Mine, 86 and 1.7

Day before yesterday we did our first trail run in a long time. It was just under 5 miles, over on the trails in the Chuckanut Mountain area. It was pretty hard, but we did OK. Yesterday, we rode to Samish Lake, so today we are ready for trail running again. We took a slightly… Continue reading 5/29 – Trail running

For two days earlier this week we tried 18/6 TRF, elimination of all alcohol, and decaf coffee only. I found that waiting until 1pm was a bit long for a first meal (Seong didn’t mind that much though), and the next one came too soon to be practical. We were spending quite a lot of… Continue reading 5/25: Time Restricted Feeding

Felt a lot better this morning, and slept a bit better last night as well. My watch tells me no ] deep sleep still, but 4.5 hours of “quality sleep”. I feel fine, better than yesterday. Still blowing a 7 on the keyto device. Went for a run and felt good and had the best… Continue reading May 8

I thought that I had slept pretty well but my watch tells me no deep sleep at all last night! And last night I was hungry enough that I put out the pans for cooking eggs and a pork chop but this morning I was a bit nauseated and anorectic. Or at least did not… Continue reading May 7 – End

Strangely, only dow 0.3 lb this morning, despite fasting yesterday and four hours of exercise. Maybe yesterday’s weight was an anomaly? Slept OK last night, but awakened at 3:30 and was up for probably half an hour, then back to sleep. This morning, I feel a little slow. Not that hungry though.

Went to bed by about 10 last night and fell asleep right away, but awakened at 4:45 and couldn’t get back to sleep. Otherwise feeling OK and not really too hungry this morning. Weighed in at 183.9, that’s amazing. Water weight of course. Betting my glycogen is gone now. On the Keyto device, blew a… Continue reading May 5
