I’m about 5’1 and weigh 130lb. Exactly last week on Monday, I weighed 139lb. Goal is 120. I suspect most of the 9lb I lost in this past week is water weight + any food I had left in my system + getting off my period. I shaved off 8 hours from this week-long fast to account for two small meals I had and a few lattes. Not totally accurate but I’m trying to roughly factor in any insulin spikes.
Anyway, I haven’t been working out at all. Some super light walking occasionally. Currently peeing purple on the strips. My chest started feeling weird two days ago. Just a very faint pressure, a twinge of pain. I had soup, rice, a small protein bar, and tea yesterday to see how I’d feel today. The twinge is still just slightly there.
Does anyone know what I should do? I’m not super worried because my heart isn’t racing. I just want to know if I should proceed with rolling 24s or 48s from this point on?
For background, I’ve been watching Cole since I was 19, so three years now. Never wanted to lose a ton of weight, just wanted to maintain. I tend to go hard in the beginning of any fast. When I was 19, I weighed in in the 130s. Did a five day fast, my heart ended up racing like CRAZY, because I didn’t take hydration seriously. I immediately stopped, chugged some pedialyte, and felt better the next day lol. But this time, I have been drinking 2L (sometimes more) of the juice, yet I feel subtle pain/pressure. Pls help, just want to know if I should be concerned.
You should go get it checked out. Not something you want to play with. Electrolytes are essential while fasting. Fasting also causes an increase in adrenaline. If I go more than 2 days, I get palpitations and feel wired.
