Days 33, 34 & 35 of My 60 Day Sugar Only Fast
My blood sugar and weight numbers have turned in the wrong direction for the first time since I started this experiment. I promised to share the good with the bad, so there you have it. My first noticeable hiccup!
Resting blood sugar is creeping back up into the high 90’s from where it dropped to the last three weeks - the 80’’s. I also became quite hungry the last few days and added a couple pounds eating. I also noticed that i started peeing way more than normal.
Chris thinks my body has entered a fat burning mode, which is a dood thing, but may not be getting all the nutrients it needs, whichnis not ideal. So, he wants me to make a short-term adjustment to try and right the ship. He noted that my weight increase could be due to added muscle from the significant weight training that I am doing, so that’s not a big concern as much as my creeping bloos sugar levels.
His prescription is to enjoy some lean protein for dinner the next three consecutive nights. He specifically wants me to have red meat rather than the chicken or fish, which has been my go to immediately after strength training sessions.
He still wants me to stick with nothing but fruit for breakfast and lunch, but since I have not had an ounce of red meat for 33 days, I’m actually looking forward to it. Doctors orders!
As you may recall, Chris is on the same diet but is three weeks ahead of me. He said he experienced the same exact symptoms and this is what ge did to auto-correct. He says that in the days that followed the gains were tremendous. He quickly dropped six pounds, stopped having to pee so often and felt great again.
As Chris is not pre-diabetic, or Type-2 diabetic, he did not report any significant change to his blood sugar levels, but I will keep a close eye on mine.
I am flying to Nashville tonight to visit family for the weekend, so ordering red meat at restaurants will actually be a lot easier than trying to order pestitide free organic fruit. Especially in a town like Nashville! 
I will enjoy my weekend and begin sharing any interesting developments starting Monday once I return to Miami.
Have a great weekend!
