NOTES

</aside>

• Fasting Blood Glucose Level and Weight Measurements were taken upon waking up and at the time of going to bed.
• Water Intake is an approximate calculation.
• Difficulty Level is an average of the whole day.
• When the Gluco-meter displays Lo, it indicates glucose levels below 50, which I have recorded as 50.

SUPPORTING TESTS

</aside>

1. C-reactive Protein (CRP) is a marker in your blood that indicates inflammation. Elevated levels can signal acute or chronic inflammation, which is linked to various health issues like insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune conditions.

   CRP - 6.22 (Moderately Elevated) Normal range: 1-3 Date: 22/01/2025 (Day 2 of Water Fasting)

2. Ketones are chemical compounds produced by the body when it breaks down fat for energy during periods of low food intake or fasting. In the context of water fasting, they serve as an indicator that the body has switched from using glucose to using fat as its primary fuel source.

   Included in the Table as a Separate Column.

CONCLUSIONS

</aside>

WEIGHT LOST

Preparation Day - 81.9 Kgs Day 5 - 74.8 Kgs Total Weight Lost = 7.1 Kgs

Losing 7.1 kg in 5 days is remarkable, but it’s important to break it down: • 3.5 to 4 kg of this loss is water weight, which will return as the body replenishes glycogen stores. • 3.1 kg is likely fat loss, making it the sustainable portion of the weight reduction.

INFLAMATION

C-reactive Protein (CRP) is a marker in your blood that indicates inflammation. Elevated levels can signal acute or chronic inflammation, which is linked to various health issues like insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune conditions.

CRP Levels Before & After Fasting:

• 22/01/2025 (Day 2 of Fasting): 6.22 mg/L (Moderately Elevated)

• 03/02/2025 (10 Days Later): 0.20 mg/L (Near Zero)

This dramatic reduction in inflammation is a major health breakthrough, showing how fasting can help the body reset and heal on a deep cellular level. Lower CRP levels indicate improved metabolic health, reduced oxidative stress, and enhanced recovery.

KETONE PRODUCTION & METABOLIC SHIFT

Ketones are chemical compounds produced by the body when it breaks down fat for energy during periods of low food intake or fasting. In the context of water fasting, they serve as an indicator that the body has switched from using glucose to using fat as its primary fuel source.

Ketone Timeline During Fasting & Re-feeding • Day 1: Ketone levels reached a moderate range as glycogen stores depleted. • Day 3: Ketone production peaked, signaling a complete shift to fat as the primary energy source. • Post-Fast: After breaking the fast, it took about 2 additional days for the body to flush out ketones, as the gradual reintroduction of carbohydrates increased insulin levels and shifted metabolism back toward glucose utilisation.
