DVT, we did it! 72 hours of fasting is DONE! This wasn’t just about going without food. It was about proving that we can do hard things. We practiced discipline, quieted the food noise, paid attention to our bodies, and reminded ourselves that hunger doesn’t always get to be the boss. I had many struggles in this fast including food dreams!!! Today, be proud of what you accomplished, but also be gentle with your body as you refeed. This isn’t the time to “reward” ourselves with food. It’s time to nourish ourselves with intention.

We have talked a lot about supplementing with magnesium. I have also heard of potassium as a lesser mentioned supplement that is beneficial for blood pressure. What does Dr. Boz think of that?

Dr Boz says the extra fat requires extra blood vessels - 3/4 of a mile for each pound or 10 pounds - whatever she said. Does that get 'cleaned up' or 'reduced' when lose the weight with autophagy?

You all freaked me out with refeeding. It's been so long since I fasted I can't remember if I need to be near a restroom. I have a dentist tomorrow afternoon - so I guess I'd better fast another day so I don't have a fasting catastrophe at the dentist!

Before we end the 21 days, I wanted to CELEBRATE our NON-SCALE VICTORIES! For me - I found my ankles again! GOOD-BYE CANKLES! Trivia - Why do they call them 'cankles'? So - what's YOUR non-scale victory?
