My weight change is 39.7 pounds in 53 days. Today is day 53 of the 90 day water fast. Today’s change is 0.5 pounds. We started at 228 pounds and now we are at 188.9 pounds.

How do I feel? I feel great. I feel good.

So today we started actually eating beef broth with soft vegetables. And that tasted amazing. We are eating potatoes, carrots, some spinach and other vegetables like that. We are letting it cook really soft. Then we are eating that with the broth. For the first time I am actually full. So that is great. And the food tastes delicious.

With regard to the water weight that I am gaining back, I am up to about 10.6 pounds in water weight since 9/15 when I stopped the water fast. So that is about right. I should just be in there somewhere. I do not really expect to gain any more water weight. It will just be normal going forward.

As far as the ketone sticks, I guess I am gonna stop that too. They are just showing up zero, zero, zero all the way through. There are no ketones in my system.

We are just gonna continue with the broth. Next week we will have some protein introduced into the broth.

That being said, I am gonna let you guys go. You have a wonderful day and I will see you next time. Cheers.
