Congratulations!🎉
I enjoy all of your adventures!😂 look forward to see your daily videos! Always a friend!
I wonder if you can combine sardines and eggs so you don't get so tired of eating the same thing during the 3 days challenges. That way you eat enough protein during the challenge (at least 100g). Also adding eggs to sardines allows you to do sardine cakes and sardines with your egg breads
When you say "high protein," what kind of protein and how much? I like how you are so balanced, realistic, and honest with your approach to finding a healthy diet choice and then your comments about the results from them. Thank you!!
I do the same thing with uncooked bacon (it's not "raw" because bacon is cooked pork belly). I don't measure anything except weight, but I have to say my mood and energy is the best doing that. It's almost like "mood" isn't the right work, it's more like my outlook on life is through the roof.
Thank you! I have a tip from an experiment that may be a help to people. In 2019 and 2021 did 96 hour fast. Lost like 7 pounds those years but then regained 1/2 or more back in the following days). THIS TIME, 2023, I started the month at BBBE. Then, I did the long fast. Lost 8 pounds – picked back up with BBBE. Only regained 1 pound in this way!
Such meticulous info! Thanks for documenting & sharing your experiments.
Good to hear your positive progress. I have the opposite problem, if I don’t make sure I keep up on my food intake I will lose weight quickly. I do think it’s mostly water though. I do have higher levels of ketones. Whenever I get my yearly blood work, it shows ketones in the results. I ordered the sibio ckm, curious to see how the level fluctuates as I go through my day.

Sardine fasts, egg fasts along with rules (who gets to make these rules?) This is a dietary lifestyle choice & not a religion. So do keto or carnivore the best you can and don't let the perfect become the enemy of the good. No matter how these fasts or dietary twists work out, they're likely different for individuals. So relax.
I have the dawn effect where even after 16 hours of fasting overnight my morning glucose level will be over 100 & eating too much protein will exacerbate that. A 72+ hour water fast will reset my morning glucose level to under 100 getting as low as 62 on the 3rd morning. But I need to watch my protein intake since I can't store excess protein which through gluconeogenesis gets converted to glucose.
G’day Nili.
I want to thank you for your 2x challenges – the sardines and egg fasts. I’ve been ketovore since October last year, and have been struggling to find my way to fat loss.
I tried both challenges in the past, but haven’t been able to make it past day 1…!
Then, after watching your sardine fast, I had an aha moment… I had sardines for brekkie, a steak and egg for lunch, and finished the day with some more sardines, all within an 8hr eating window. The following day, I had sardines for brekkie then steak and prawns for lunch. I fasted for 24hrs until lunch, had OMAD starting with sardines, then a steak with an egg. You can see where I’m going with this…
I’m like you, I don’t make ketones easily (never above 0.4). BUT, since incorporating sardines into my daily eating, I’ve had morning ketones of 1ish…! Unheard of for me…
Thanks again for the inspiration…

Don’t forget the quality of protein. The 75gm protein from eggs and sardines are complete proteins. On your high protein days, relying on protein powders or other highly processed protein is less quality than an egg or sardine to your body. Not ragging on protein powders, I use whey isolate in small quantities, just keeping in perspective.
I worry more about my glucose. It's fun to check my ketones but blood glucose is of concern for me. I tend to run high like you do. I can get higher ketones when fasting. Up to 2.5. I've also noticed that I've gotten higher ketones moving my eating window up. Eating earlier and not eating after 3 or 4pm. Which is hard for me because I'm not an early morning eater. I have a hard time eating before 11am.
I have trouble with lean days PSMF.
Egg fast yes 🐠 fast noooo lol
Great job! Thanks for the thorough conclusion! I tried your blended egg pudding from one of your egg fast days this morning and it was delicious. I will definitely be having that again!
I love the concept having another tool in your toolbox. There is so much to digest in this video & I am going to listen to it again. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
How long is the Egg fast
From my understanding higher ketones= healing state. I’m trying to heal from autoimmune disease so this is important to me. I’ve found that lowering the protein in my diet to 3:1 fat:protein has had a HUGE impact on my ketones. They are consistently much higher with much higher fat. Just my experience.
Next challenge go beyond 3 days and see if it continues. find the extent of the benefits. Regarding protein what I hear is eat your optimal weight in grams. So a lady at 5'6" that number would be 130 grams. I'm 6'5" and my number is around 185 grams. 175 grams of protein might be too much. And that extra protein could turn to carbs. Have you been dieting for a long time? Have you heard of metabolic adaptation. Some folks on keto think if you push your ketones higher metabolic adaptation won't come into play. I haven't seen anything say yea or nay to this but I don't think ketones are going to change much. If you're on an extreme calorie deficit metabolic adaptation will probably catch up with you and you'll stop losing weight.
