The great thing about fasting is that you can stop whenever you need and restart when you are ready :) Be safe :) Take Care!

I have dropped up to 4 pounds in one day when fasting if I have fasted multiple days and 'dropped a lot of water' by running 7 miles in 90+ degree heat (only safe if I am in shape for it and I first take a MASSIVE amount (and I mean 5x+ the recommended dosage) of electrolyte concentrate).

Really? It just seems like a lot. I weighed myself this morning and I was still at 121. Seems kinda crazy.

Oh it could still be a 'broken scale' :) I just wanted to point out that fasting can produce some crazy weight loss. My last two 5 days fasts gave me a total 12 pound loss over 12 days because on some days I had a 4 pound loss. I was also able to not gain the weight back on the days I broke the fast (on the weekends). But, I literally woke up in the morning, weighed, weighed again that night and dropped 3 pounds, then woke up in the morning, weighed and dropped another pound.

Hope you heal fast and feel better faster.

Can you tell me more about it? About fasting and all? Or where can I read up on it?

Lena— I might suggest that this may be a good time to do a review of your chosen way of eating and potential side effects. If you are also involved in fasting, dry fasting you may want to review them as well.

Patty— Google is your friend—enter whatever your question is, see what comes up and start reading.

Kenna I just started on Keto about a month ago. Yesterday was my very first fast day. Still trying to figure out what works for me. I’m going to do some researching on Keto and UTIs but I don’t think it had anything to do with it from what I’ve read so far. Hoping that’s the case, but I’m going to keep looking. I had a very strong pain in my side and it got way worse before it got better. Was pretty scary, but the pain is gone now. Drinking tons of water and taking my meds.

Lena— with the new information about the pain it is possible that you passed a kidney stone. If your diagnosis of UTI was based on your urine testing positive for blood the issue might have been stone as apposed to infection. I would suggest you make a follow up appointment with your doc and have your urine retested. Make sure you tell him about the pain that preceded you going to urgent care.. meantime I would suggest you stay hydrated.
