Day 25 of 60 Day Sugar Only Fast
Yesterday got a bit strange. I woke up to an anomaly in the graph on my continuous glucose monitor. It showed that my blood sugar dipped to 56 at about 1:30 am before rising into the 90’s just before I woke.
Since this is the lowest I have ever seen my blood sugar go, I definitely took notice of that. This was also the first day I woke up to a resting blood sugar over 90 in the last week or two.
None of this by itself was cause for alarm, but then I stood up. I noticed that I was a bit wobbly. That was not normal!
The wobbly effect continued throughout the morning into my cold plunge and walking exercise. As a result, I decided to slow my roll and take the day off from work. I decided to go to the movies after lunch to relax, but after it was over and I stood up to leave, I felt the same wobbly sensation. Not good!
What I also noticed was that my blood sugar continued the trend of going haywire bouncing all day from the 120’s to as high as 170 in a roller coaster fashion even without habing eaten. This was also far not normal! Big spikes like these tend to only occur after meals with a lot of sugar andbit had been doing this all day. 
I reached out to Chris to get his perspective on what was going on with my body and whether I should be alarmed. My brain offered up the opinion that I should give sugar from fruit a rest for a day or two. I figured he would agree. Instead, he said the following:
“Your body is reacting to the healthy changes it has endured these last three weeks ftom easting primarily only fruit. It doesn’t know what is going on cause its not your norm. Basically your body has efficiently burned through all the food you have absorbed and is now going in on your stored fat for its energy. This is s good sign. You may feel off like this for a few days! Sorry you’re experiencing this, but it’s a good thing. It means that your body is healing. Keep it up!”
Interesting stuff. And then I remembered that it was also in week 4 of my water only fast, that I began to experience severe symptoms. Chris talked me through those strange m occurances too, explaining that my body was detoxing cause my kidneys and liver were healing. I took notice that this was occuring at the same exact junture as it did then - the beginning of week four.
It’s as if the brain recognizes that you’ve passed 21 days of newly sustained habits so it rewards you with a new operating system. 
I got through yesterday. Did the most brutal leg weight training session I have ever done in the early evening. My legs were literally buckling as I was walking back to my apartment afterwards.
 I think this is exactly what I needed, though as upon waking this morning, my blood sugar was back down to a fantastic 79 and I feel great. Remember, I was averaging at 99 upon waking before I started this journey. And best of all, no more wobbleness!
