okay playing with my meter again today. I had two cups of coffee today, the first was early in the morning to help me wait longer for eating. I ate at 8;30 instead of my normal 4;30 to 5. the coffee raises my glucose and drops my ketones when I have food and without food. without food it is not too bad just enough to help me keep from having to eat because I dropped too much to wait. After yesterday I don't know if this is a benefit or not. yesterday I fasted for 24 hours and while I did not get the water weight gain I normally get from dairy, no clue if I lost fat. after a good sized meal 2.5 hours after first coffee and right after exercise, 1k 4.5G. 4.5 hours
4.5 hours after coffee, 1.5 hours after exercise, 1.7k 4.1G. I ate and then monitered my moderate meal. 2 hours after breakfast of steak 1.1k and 4.9G. 3 hours after steak and before coffee it stayed pretty level 1K and 4.8G. now 3.5 hours after coffee and 8 hours after I originally ate things are finally starting to change 1.6K and 4.6G. I have a feeling that having higher glucose levels and lower ketones may slow my fat loss. I am on my normal higher fat routine so I will see how things go. either way I have to stop the coffee drinking. the fog is not good for me. save it for a treat
yesterday I did not feel good fasting, today delaying my eating was just fine, but once I did eat I did not feel totally satisfied like I normally do. I felt like I should have had more to fill me up. so back to normal tomarrow

Sorry the fasting didn’t go so well. I think your body is having a hard enough time already; no need to stress it. Also, do you have any theories on why your ketones are kinda low? I was thinking they were pretty high not that long ago. What fat % are you eating at now? I stay high 60s+

drinking coffee and taking caffeine drops my ketones, I am reactive. Not unusual seeing as I have brain fog from the coffee, one of those foods I am sensitive too. but I was surprised last week when I found my 5 hour did react too. I am now going back to the higher fat. no caffeine and my Ketones stay pretty good, caffeine and they drop lower. it makes sense. food will drop your ketones, caffeine is the double hit for me. I am trying to stay in the 70's.

I’m glad you are experimenting with different things to know how your body reacts. We definitely have to be our own best scientist.

yes Viola, setting my best macro's for maintenance is where I am at. got my rdi pretty much down, just tweeking a few things to perk up my fat loss hopefully as I work off this extra fat. building muscle I think is the best way at this point. I really don't want to lose more weight
