Haha I suspect I was always at a slight advantage because of keto. That thing after 30 hours waking up sounds like you weren't fat adapted, which I'd always been when I fasted.
Btw I also think this solves all the refeed issues that some people seem to have. I've done refeeds with a large t-bone and 6 eggs, no issues at all. Probably just going from super low glucose to super high glucose, insulin, electrolyte retention..
I also wonder how much water weight I'll lose this time, as ex150 is already an extremely low water retention diet. And hopefully refeeding low protein this time, I won't immediately gain everything back!
That's interesting. I thought that since I pretty much always do 18:6 - 20:4 intermittent fasting every day (and have for 5+ years now) that that would ensure I'm fat adapted.
But these fasts always come at the tail end of the holidays when I'm not as vigilant about not eating garbage, so that probably neutralizes things.
I also am not strictly keto when I do my IF so that probably plays a role, too.
