The reason for feeling colder while in ketosis is the body increases flow to the fat cells to carry the broken down fatty acids to the liver for conversion to ATP molecules which is the energy the cells run on.
Been catching up on my studies since refeed started.
Thak you for your answer.
I just don’t understand why it feels cold if the body works so hard. Shouldn’t be the opposite? I will read…
I used to be cold all the time, but finding this fast making me warm. Not sure if it’s the weather cranking up, or maybe my body resetting it’s thermostat, or that I’m premenopausal or???
I typically don’t tolerate anything below 78. Now I’m turning on the AC for brief stints.
Maybe I’m just actually burning fat 
.
I’m also perimenopausal and got my period just last Friday. During the night, I was shivering like a dog and bleeding, hell knows how…
Maybe, because I was losing lots of iron???
I had my TOM (time of month) and started this fast day after it ended. I can’t imagine doing this through the cycle. I am a “feed the beast” when it hits. And just before.
Been inconsistent during lockdown, which I attribute some of that to stress.
Day 7.
Weight: 88.9kg = 195 lbs!!!
Day 1 weight - 95.5kg - 88.9kg = 6.6kg total weight loss in 6 days! It’s 15 lbs!
Feel: terrific! Lots of energy, no any other symptoms! Period is diminished, little bleeding as it was on my day 4 when I was young.
No muscle cramps.
No hunger.
No fatigue.
No headaches.
No palpitations.
Very clear, sharp mind.
Anyway, everything what I would dream came true! Love my body! Face is becoming very contoured.
To be continued in the afternoon…
Afternoon.
During my lunch, baked a strawberry pie from scratch. So delicious! Wanted to try… felt hungry. Got water. It passed.
Still, lots of energy. Nothing else is bothering. Peeing a lot.
Himalayan salt, multivitamins, and acv were in the morning.
No heartburn or any other stomach problems. Farts are normal.
To be continued in the evening…
Evening.
Felt extremely hungry for some reasons. Especially to that pie that I cooked during my lunch break. It smells heavenly!!! 
So, I was about to break the fast, put 2 slices of that pie on my plate, then…
So on, so on…
Eventually, put the plate away and had a glass of water.
Another thing is that I never stepped on a scale before during the day, was checking only in the morning and I saw that my weight was again 89.9!! What?? How that was possible? The scale was wrong? Oh… clothes. Phew… just now I realized that I weigh myself naked and I checked in clothes.
Anyway… the day is almost over, but I still feel hungry. Don’t know why. Nothing else is bothering me.
Greetings! I am new here, too. And today is my 1st day of a 21 day water fast. I am so glad to be reading your posts. (So far, I have only read completely your first post, and this last one from today. I want to look at your other posts, later when I have more time). Please do continue sharing, as you are 7 days ahead of me. I am starting off almost at the same weight: 93 kg. CONGRATULATIONS, in dropping almost 7 kg. in a week. That is just great. Are your clothes getting looser? So, I will check in later, gotta go now. Just an “atta Girl” from me, and a “thank you” for sharing.
Hi dear,
Thanks for saying all those wonderful words.
I will continue posting, for sure!
It’s fun and difficult at the same time.
Just keep up when the times are hard. One minute at a time.
Good luck!
Day 8
Going strong!
Yesterday, day 7 for me was the hardest in the late evening for me. Felt very fatigued, was barely dragging myself.
Even during first 3, I didn’t feel like that.
Today, in the morning, everything is gone! Thank you, Universe!
Weight: 88.2kg, from day 1, 95.5kg - 88.2kg - total loss is 7.3kg or 16 lbs in 7 days!
Day 1 - 95.5kg or 210lbs
Day 8 - 88.2 kg or 194 lbs
It’s pretty impressive!
So, ho I feel and look:
So, now it’s time to work. Doing my job 8am to 4pm.
To be continued in the afternoon…
Afternoon.
So, overall, not bad at all. Sleepy a little…
To be continued in the evening…
Evening.
Nothing is bothering me as much as my back pain. It’s a lower part of it, but it seems like radiates from my ovaries. Not so long ago I was diagnosed with miomas.
It’s not hurting a lot just annoying. I can’t find any comfortable position while sitting. When I lie down, it much better. Standing - doesn’t bother me much at all. Very strange…
I never had any problems with kidneys, never had any kidney stones or any other symptoms. Don’t know what it is. Will observe what’s going to happen tomorrow.
Now, while I was painting a bathroom ceiling, my hands were so weak, I could barely hold the brush. Was sweating like crazy and with pauses, was able to put the primer. I need to do the 1st coat, so hopefully, will be able to do what I planned.
Good thing is that I tried Centrum Women’s multivitamins, and surprisingly, they didn’t make me nauseous. So, day 1- 6 - I was nauseous and almost threw up every time I took a pill. After that, day 6 -7, without any multivitamins. Today, day 8 - absolutely normal reaction. No nausea, no heartburn yet.
That’s it for today.
YES, one minute at a time! 
Day 9.
Morning.
Didn’t sleep during the night at all - the back pain.
Right now - just a slight uncomfortable feeling.
Weight: 87.5kg or 192 lbs! Hurray!
Day 1 - 95.5kg or 210 lbs
Total loss in 8 days: 8kg or 17 lbs!
Not bad!
No nausea after taking Centrum which is unusual as I always had a bad reaction to it as nausea and throwing up.
No headaches, no fatigue, no other pains rather than a slightly lower back.
Clothes started being loose.
To be continued in the afternoon…
Afternoon.
Nothing much is happening. Great energy, almost clear mind, no cravings.
Back is hurting a little. No muscle cramps or pain after painting a ceiling with a primer yesterday.
Lots og negative things happened at work, but I am strong and not binge eating or touching at least anything.
So, pretty happy to be where I am now.
To be continued in the evening…
Evening.
Had a fantastic time! After work, went to travel with my son:
and will walk the dog later.
Sniffed food, literally got full from sniffing, finished with water.
The day was great.
Hopefully, I will sleep tonight and won’t have any back pain. Right now, it’s there, obviously present, especially after a huge workout.
And what’s interesting, I could walk up the huge hill without any problems while with my obese weight I would not ever do that…
Will continue tomorrow. Day 10.
Congratulations on releasing 8 kg.!!! You can be so proud of yourself. You are doing it! How long do you plan to fast this time? I weighed 93 kg. when I started 2 days ago, but will wait a week to weigh myself, otherwise, I will make myself crazy. I love to see the direction I will be going, in a week from now, when I will be, where you are now. Thank you so much for sharing your journey!!
Day 10!!!
Here’s the mental clarity! That’s how it feels!
Amazing focus, paying attention to details, concentration is amazing! All things I see sharp, colourful, vibrant.
Started working (my job) and can grasp anything and do it within seconds!
It’s not the euphoria yet, I feel pretty calm and down to earth, but still, such a great feeling!
Weight: 87 kg or 191 lbs
Day 1 - 95.5kg or 210 lbs.
Total loss in 9 days: 8.5 kg or 19 (oh my God…) lbs. Can’t believe this number…
How I feel:
How I look:
and I don’t really care about that;To be continued in the afternoon…
Afternoon.
Had a BM and was scared as I was passing the hard things… it wasn’t painful, I qas just thinking how much garbage I accumulated through my not too long life. After that - watery. Hopefully, that’s the last ones, bad ones.
Energy level is amazing. Not to the roof, but exactly what I need for work and family.
Body feels lighter, much flexible.
No any other symptoms ior side effects.
Mental clarity is still there. Put everything in order in my mind and house. Cool to have it back! 8 missed myself… now, it’s slowly coming back.
I see huge differences, but at the same time, it feels like nothing happened. I still see so much work to be done on my body!
My son is supporting me so much, telling me already so many compliments! I feel great. Just great.
To be continued in the evening…
Evening.
Became so sleepy after work, so I decided not to push myself into any hard work and decided to have a nap.
Woke up refreshed, energetic, and ready to rock and roll!
Felt hungry. Tummy was growling, so I stroked it gently and said, “Not today, my wild beast!” 
Will continue with everything else around the apartment.
No other symptoms. After having a back pain for 2 days (the day before today), I’m still listening if… no, no back pain! No headaches, no palpitations or breath problems.
Heart is ticking strongly and consistently.
I can finally see my pubis!!! 
Before, because of the belly, I forgot how it looked like and shaving was such a huge problem! Here’s the belly, how to bend??? Here’s a double chin, how to lean forward??? Now, I will be able to trim without catching my breath and taking pauses every 2 minutes.
I’m happy with my progress!
While falling asleep, I saw colourful stickers on my clost as @Ysemin recommended. Incredible! Don’t still believe that is me…
Was already thinking what to do in July, how I will do a refeed, what to cook for that…
Anyway, I will continue tomorrow, day 11.
You made me totally smile with you post. Thank you.
I, too, have had this problem with the tummy in the way, plus the chin, too. I am on day 5, so I am stoked that I will soon have your great non-scale victory! My bras are still tight, but, this was the first morning, since I damaged my right knee, that I could walk down the stairs with no pain in the knee. WOW, fasting IS amazing
I absolutely agree!
I had done water fasting for short periods many times, but this is officially my first time and I am shocked how amazing it is!!!
I love a transformation!
I love how I feel!
Day 11!!!
Hurray!
I’m in a such a great mood! Not euphoric, but overall. I tried not to look in the mirror too much since my day one, but what I saw today was stunning!
Woke up energetic, jumpy, nothing hurts, nothing bothering!
No nausea, no tummy growling, no heartburn, no headaches.
Back pain came back during the night, but very slight, just noticeable. Right now - absolutely gone.
Feels like I will go to poop. Not urgent though. Will go after a work virtual meeting.
Weight:86.3kg or 190 lbs!!!
Day 1: 95.5kg or 210 lbs
Total loss in 10 days: 9.2kg or 20 lbs !!! 
I can’t believe…
It’s like not happening, but it is!!! 20 lbs… it’s heavy. That’s true. I was carrying that on my body.
Of course I feel lighter, because the garbage is going away!
Awesome! Thank you, Lord for giving me Yasemin. Because I found her video and started, I am where I am now!
To be continued in the afternoon…
Afternoon.
Not the same as in the morning. That’s why I write 3 times a day (like I ate before 
).
So, energy level - lower. Took salt. Still, got sleepy. Maybe, will take a nap.
Sour taste in my mouth. Not metallic, not bitter, but sour. Don’t know what organ it’s connected to that the water fast cleansing inside and out.
Oh… another thing - dry mouth. No matter how much I drink, it’s still dry. Don’t feel thirsty and had about 3 liters of water, but it’s just dry.
No other symptoms.
To be continued in the evening…
Evening.
Feel weak. Energy is gone. Took magnesium and potassium, salt. We’ll see how it will go.
Not able to do any massive, even to finish the last coating in the bathroom.
Had a power nap, watched TV. Not productive for anything else.
Was reading a lot as well. Missed it with all the renovations around the apartment. Found many recipes for KETO. Amazon delivered the whole book of healthy recipes. I will never going back to previous food consumption.
The whole idea of the water fast is to realize how food can be yummy and healing at the same time. I finally made my choice. For sure I will go KETO OMAD.
I love and cherish food now. It’s colourful, amazing, and nourishing.
Just cooked dinner. Will go for a walk with my son and dog.
Day 11 is completed.
Hello, day 12!
Day 12!!!
Morning.
Feel good, not great. Little weakness, took a multivitamin and salt.
Slept great. Nothing was bothering me. Vivid dreams, but don’t remember anything.
Was brushing my teeth, hand felt weak.
Mind is clear, sharp, smell is very sensitive.
Feel my intestines moving, literally. Not painful, nothing strange, but if I sit still, I feel that (similar to when I was pregnant). It’s like a shrinking - expending movement.
Weight: 85.8kg or 189 (oh my God!!!) lbs
Day 1 weight: 95.5kg or 210 lbs
Total loss in 11 days: 9.7kg or 21 lbs.
Holly cow!!!
Could not expect that. When I was typing right now, it seems like it’s not mine, but it is!!!
After being so obese for so long, it seems surreal… 85.8kg… wow.
Every single day of this water fast worth it!
To be continued in the afternoon…
Afternoon.
It was great! The energy came back, so I used that opportunity and went shopping for renos, cleaned the house, and did other errands.
The sour taste is gone.
No more dry mouth.
Tongue is still white.
Mind is clear.
No spasms, no cramps, no back pain.
Sometimes, feel hungry. Drink more water in this case. It’s interesting, because I kinda feel or intuitively sense that I have to drink or want to drink. And I drink a lot, around 3 liters of water.
Had a power nap and ready to transition to the evening.
In plans: finish the bathroom ceiling, boarders on a floor in a living room, around the mural that I already glued, balcony’'s door (entrance), and maybe, flooring in my bedroom.
Then, dinner cooking and walking the dog.
God, help me to finish this.
Tomorrow, hopefully, will start decluttering a storage room. New project will be - to paint it, hanging shelves, moving to kitchen renovations.
To be continued in the evening…get up!
Evening.
Had complained almost everything planned. Had a pretty good stamina, so, was able to finally finish the ceiling, other parts of a reno.
Feel very light, but eventually, after working hard, energy is fading away. And it’s logical as it’s already late.
Nothing else is bothering me.
Day 13 is tomorrow! Pretty excited!
I understand that feeling, “is this for real?”
Day 13.
Weight: 85kg or 187 lbs.
Day 1: 95.5kg or 210 lbs
Total loss in 12 days: 10.5 kg or 23 lbs 
Honestly, unbelievable.
I still can’t wrap my head around that.
Feel great! Energetic, active, light, and satisfied.
The whole night had dreams of me me eating something, but then remembering not to eat and spitting it 
in front of my guests .
The night was good, calm and relaxing.
Today, no hunger, no stomach pain, no heartburn, no nausea, intestines are no longer "rolling " inside, calm.
Took salt and multivitamin.
Ready to "rock-and-roll ".
To be continued in the afternoon…
Afternoon.
Don’t know about everybody, but I have a BM every day. Watery, but something is always coming out. Dark, sticky…sorry.
Now, how I feel. Absolutely great. Lots of energy!
Cooked a lot as my kids asked different things. The good thing is that if they won’t finish everything, I put in a freezer.I don’t know how I cooked, but my kids praise me…I never tasted what I cooked and just use my intuition: just think, based on experience.
When I was cooking, food looked brighter
Thw rest is amazing.
Will continue with my projects, grocery shopping is on the list.
To be continued in the evening…
Evening.
Awesome day overall. Had lots of energy, was able to do lots of things, including learning how to use a drill. Unforgettable experience! Was able tp hang shelves and feel so strong! Horse - lady😉
Love water fasting and looking forward to day 14 mark!
