Same weight but less fat pounds on Intermittent Fasting


I started intermittent fasting on 11-9-19 (214 lbs)
after coming home from a cruise on 10-14-19 (215 lbs)

I decided to use 215 lbs to measure the amount of pounds lost.

Date           Total Body Fat lbs      
10-14-19:     56.6  After cruise 
11-9-19:       61.8  Day I began intermittent fasting
1-12-20.       57.5 
1-18-20.       56.4  2 months after starting      







Below I show how I think IF has lowered my Hgb A1c by two points.

I wake up today with glucose finger stick 186.
My ketones were 2.6

It suspect it is the last five hours of my IF  fast that I gain the most benefit for glucose. 

My glucose went down from 186 AM down to 128  PM five hours later after 13 hrs 45 minutes fasting
My ketones went up from 2.6 to 3.2 during this same period. 





I finished my fast today at 17 hours.
 Glucose blood 
8:30 AM 186
1:12 PM  128
4:26 PM 117
Ketones blood    
8:30 AM 2.8
1:12 PM 3.2
4:26 PM 2.8
CGM 
8:30 AM 136
1:12 PM 108 
4:26 PM 97


I think these numbers are interesting. 
First: 
Continuous Glucose Monitoring is only a guide to Glucose Blood Sticks (CGM)
Second:
Surprising my ketones went up initially but then went down despite 3 more hours fast?


1-19-20 I read this article today by Peter Attia link
