Extended Fast Update - Final Day - Hour 136 

Well done Steve! Great job hanging in there. Looking forward to the final results. Funny how this time is different. I’m sure it depends on many factors. Either way, very impressive!👏👏

You’re not making this seem any easier, Steve, but I appreciate the honest updates. ‘Looking forward to your final GKI, weight loss and body measurements. As well as how you bounce back. ‘Hoping your refeed goes smoothly.

I can completely see it in your face. Looking forward to the 1 week update

Great job, Steve. Thank you for the update.

Great job sticking to your fast despite feeling more hungry than your last fast. You have gone 112 hours more than I ever have. I have had challenges dialing in my electrolytes. Have been using Electrolyze from Beam Minerals and has cut down on leg cramps. Look forward to hearing your final overall comments on the fast. That first meal is going to taste so good!

Had my last meal before my first ever extended fast at 5:00 today. Salad with steak strips and bleu cheese. Will have my Apple Cider Vinegar & tea in about an hour, and that will be it for the day. Thanks for sharing your experience and getting me motivated.

Wow you’re doing great! Congratulations!

Great job hanging in there, Steve.

Great job, Steve!!

You've got this, Steve.

Good stuff Steve, finish strong 👍

So I did all the fermented foods after getting pneumonia and had to go on antibiotics. Figured it was the best thing I could do with a bad situation. I didn’t find my blood sugar spiked much with kefir. I had the unflavored organic one. I’m sorry your fast wasn’t the way you had wanted but I guess it just made it more rewarding…maybe lol

The electrolytes are definitely hard to dial in. Seems like you're speaking rhythm is a little off. Most I've done so far is a 10-day fast. It's amazing how much inflammation disappears almost immediately. I do allow myself some diet soda with no ill effects. Some vices are hard to kill. 😳 Congratulations sir!

love that you share both ups AND downs in your experiences vs expectations. we know we can trust you because you keep it real. ty.

All the ferments sound fantastic! If you let the kefir sit on the counter, it’ll continue fermenting and more of the carbs will be consumed by the organisms! I used to prolifically make kombucha and kefir. Loved every bit of it!

Steve thank you so much for sharing this fast with us! Can’t wait to hear your final thoughts.

If you can do it, I can do it. I am going to think about you to get motivated and start by doing more than 16 hours. You look really good

Great job Steve❤️🇨🇦🐕

Sounds like a great success.

Great job, Steve.

My love handles aren’t coming off as I desire as well. Everywhere else seems great. Granted, they have been getting smaller. I guess it just takes a lot of time, as they didn’t grow overnight to begin with.

Sounds like a great detox cleanse going on (out!?) You got this. Love the share... I'm not as brave as you are.

Steve, Your speech seemed a little slurred. Maybe it's me. Looking forward to your next video. Hang in there.

😃🙌

Great job, Steve! How much did you lose?

My husband had the same problem with his last 5 day fast.....How do you replenish your muscle I have lost significant muscle (18-6 intermittent fasting) and I have been trying to regain that muscle doing low impact resist. training, yoga and other forms of excercize ...what would you recommend...Thank you for keeping it real, helping us and all your videos Julianna NC

Great job hanging in there Steve! Based on your comments today, do you think the extra hunger this time around is electrolytes? Or some other confounding variable not yet identified?

Steve - I'm curious how you, or anyone, would handle taking medications or supplements while fasting? Do you abandon taking supplements on fasting days? I take some supplements that I would not feel comfortable stopping. I'm under the impression that most supplements should be taken with food.

What kind of scale did you say? I imagine if you put a gallon of water plus a separate gallon of meat and a separate gallon of fat all on that scale at the same time and played with their volumes to see what the scale would say . . . . I think the numbers your scale puts out would not match the volume weight of any of these masses correctly when they are weighed separately. You probably surmised from this, I don't put much faith in the accuracy of these scales. I said gallons because any inconsistencies would be easier to discern but you could use cups/8 oz. Bottom line . . . I don't think your scales report of your losses actually means anything valuable. Take this with a bit of humour and a chuckle, please.
