When the music lifts your body
And your feet begin to tap
Its a sign your spirit needs to move
So you best not hold it back

Let the sound flow though your essence
Allow the music to guide your soul
As you sway into the sound waves
your worries free and go

Release any judgement
That may haunt you
Start dancing on your own
Urge your heart and mind to seek freedom
As sound vibrations dance your soul

Close your eyes and feel the sound
Let your spirit guide each sway
Dance, dance, dance
As we only ever have today ❤

I know this post is late…well what can I say, Im one of those “time challenged” individuals.

However the good news is I cannot say how incredibly happy I am with my November results!!

Drum roll please..

A total of loss of 10.9lbs!!! Oh Yeah!!

So approx loss of 36lbs since end of August!!! INCREDIBLE!

I definitely can say that the more I fast, the easier it becomes; less hunger, less growling & less intrusion from ma bellie resisting in fury. I also have noticed less negative reactions from my peeps around me who had been commenting on my lack of eating and my regular fasting, as though it was a bad thing, when really most concerns are just a case of misinformation. I do my best to educate on a few things I’ve learned along the way & this seems to put most loved ones at ease, so onward and downward :).

Most of November I again stuck to 3x 42hr fasts per week, and I may have tossed in a 48hr fast or so once or twice, ending with a 5day fast again as I did last month.

And WOW

Its been an exciting journey so far. The last week in August when I began this journey I never once thought that my first 42 hr fast would lead me to a continuous pursuit of so much more fasting and such amazing results. Turns out fasting is “the” other step in my journey to health & happiness and Im so very happy about that.

EXTENDED FASTING & MCT OIL

So its been a couple of months of extending my fast beyond the 42 hours, which was the goal I initially set for this month and last.

Surprisingly to myself its not been as hard as I thought it would be, and extended fasting really does get easier with more fasting believe it or not.

One of the habits I have decided to do incorporate into my ” break-fast” is to add in MCT oil into my black coffee as the first “food” item going back into my body to assist & promote extended ketone production in my liver, or so Ive read.

From my research on how to end a fast (primarily when I do a 5day fast) I found that there was a significant amount of “health” promoters who suggest adding in MCT Oil for reasons such as:

“BENEFITS OF MCT OIL WHILE INTERMITTENT FASTING…

Prolonged Satiety- may help extend fasting period
Increased Weight Loss
Increased Energy Expenditure
Enhanced Longevity
Improved Blood Sugar
Enhanced Brain Function

Though more research needs to be done on the effects of combining the use of MCT oil while intermittent fasting, there seems to be a lot of potential benefits with any use of MCT oil.: As per

Once I have established a true measure of establishing if my ketones or weight loss is increased with the MCT, I will update. What I can say for now it that the product is very edible, great on salads and my brain tells me “yeh, this is easy “. :).
