Greetings friends, I'm in day 5 of my "Master Cleanse" lemonade fast. I've been "good" except for a couple of mouthfuls of leftover vegetables from dinner and a couple tastes of things on a fingertip. <grin>
This is going to surpise a few people, but I just tested my urine for ketones and got a "trace" which is about 5 mg/dl !!! I did not expect that at all, given that the entire 1000 or so daily calories are all simple sugar, but obviously after a few days of overall calorie limitation the glycogen stores in the liver must deplete. I don't honestly know whether I'm spreading out my intake enough to keep insulin low enough not to interfere, or if I'm just filling in "between meals" with fat burning. It's surprising, anyway. I'll keep monitoring, that's for sure. We're talking about this stuff on the Off Topic List, so you're welcome to join us there if you'd prefer that to posting here.
