I ran out of Qsymia yesterday while in Hawaii.
I decided it was a good time to test the appetite suppression of nutritional ketosis.
Previously I gained weight while in nutrtional ketosis
and exercising one hour a day with weight lifting.
Then I decreased exercise to 20 mins walk per day and Qsymia
while staying on the same Atkins or Low Carb High Diet.
I lost 20 lbs as I was not as hungry and ate less.
Yesterday I held my:
Metformin 2,000 mg
Invokana 300 mg
But I continued my Victoza 1.2 mg.
I was surprised that I did not get crazy hungry as I had in previous decades.
I was probably well prepared as I started out the fast in a state of my usual ketosis at 1.3
I was hungry at times and slight nausea as I drank coffee.
A little dizzy and difficulty in mental focusing around 5 PM.
I didn't go for my usual 40 minute walk.
Her ketones 0.3 after 34 hour fast.
She didn't take her metformin either.
It was a fun experiment with my wife as a sort of control.
There are many physiologic teaching lessons in this experiment.
Since I believe in the Bon Vivant diet so I don't intend on fasting again ;)

I started my FAST in my usual state of NK on LCHF
7:30 AM Glu: 142 ketones 1.3 weight 222 lbs.
7:30 AM Glu: 142 ketones 1.3 weight 222 lbs.
Noon: Glu: 134
5:00 PM Glu: 111 ketones 2.3
9:30 PM Glu 94 ketones 3.5
11:30 PM Glu 99 ketones 3.1
6:30 AM Glu 110 ketones 3.9 weight 219 lbs
Breakfast at 7 AM 3 eggs 3 slices bacon Cooked in butter Coffee w half and half
Snack- 2 handfuls of almonds
Lab Post Prandial done at 11:00 AM on a High Protein High Fat Low carb breakfast
Glucose 143 from 110 AM fasting
Ketones 3.0 from 3.9 AM fasting.
For me, its clear when I don't take my morning Invokana 300 mg and
Meformin 2,000 mg my glucose will get elevated with protein and fat alone
while in ketosis.
I did increase my Victoza to 1.8 mg this AM as I ran out of Qsymia.
My wife (who is also type 2 DM but does not follow LCHF) fasted with me.
Her glucose was 94 yesterday afternoon and 124 this AM.Breakfast at 7 AM 3 eggs 3 slices bacon Cooked in butter Coffee w half and half
