I regained a significant amount of weight since I fell off the wagon near the end of May. Three attempts at getting back to it failed.
I am now 64hrs into a fast (literally only liquids since 12am Monday) which I am going to break in an hour with a half pound hamburger with cheese and mayo.
I feel as if I am definitely ready to be back on track, my two days of fasting let me drop about 7lbs of bloat and my hamburger sounds delicious!

Great to see you! Wonderful start!0

Awesome.
Getting back to it is tough. It's a shame that falling off the wagon isn't the hard part.

One nice thing about getting back on the wagon is that I know about the keto flu, and I ain't got it. Plenty of sodium, potassium and magnesium as well as plenty of water!0

Good point!! I apparently slipped out of ketosis in late October and getting back on track was a bunch easier this time around.
Glad it's going so well. 0 -

What do you drink when you fast? I might need to do this because I have been on and off the last couple months after gaining all my weight back last year. I have been trying to do low carb the last month or so but I have slipped up too many times I am not really losing but just maintaining.0 -

I drank lots of water, black coffee, hot tea, one diet soda (I was on a 12hr shift at the hospital) and some chicken bouillon cubes in hot water. Lots of sodium and delicious, practically zero cal. I also drank some hot water with salt in in, for electrolytes. If I did that I skipped the bouillon.0 -

Soooooo true! I had been reading about Keto for a couple of months before I started so I was prepared for that and was able to avoid all the symptoms. It's like a mission to help newbies know how much it's needed and how much better you can feel.0
