I started my fast this past week. I ate on Tuesday about 4PM before leaving for work.

I have fasted for 48-72-96 and 120 hours over the past year or so. Sometimes life dictates the end but mostly I go to a feel like I really need to eat with water not doing the trick.

This time I have had gas like I have not had in months. One minute it is a deep air-filled burp and the next the gas is coming out the other end. I don't feel bloated or gassy but it has been a constant since Thursday (about 48 hours deep). Just weird because I didn't anything that I have not been eating for the last 19 months but something is causing me to vent off. To the point, last night at work we were going to the MCC room to reset a bucket and I told my co-worker to go up the steps first because if he followed me we would probably end up in HR.

I dropped from 222 on Tuesday to 216 this morning which is 90lbs since I started carnivore. ( I have been down to 210 but I have been eating proteins like they are going to stop making them as of late).

I have been on 12 hour night shifts since Wednesday night, worked out on Thursday/Friday morning and again this morning.

Every other time the energy level has been abundant (still amazed it worked that way). This time I felt good til last night when I felt like I was a tad bit flat. This morning the sets and reps I did Thursday was more than I could lift this morning. Not many times since carnivore have I felt physically depleted but the first time while fasting, I pretty much felt spent. My sleep has been a tad off as well.

The gas sort of puzzles me and the energy drop is surprising. I am guessing it is a combination of things. Nothing to eat since Tuesday, pulling 12 hour-night shifts since Wednesday, getting in three trips to the gym after work, and maybe the 55 birthdays I spent trashing my body (LOL).

But can't complain. I am miles better than I was 19 months ago.

Hope everyone has a happy and blessed Sunday.

The gas thing has me puzzled especially since you haven’t changed anything in your diet.

I will still get a little gas occasionally but I believe it’s because I swallow air and then it’s not offensive.

As far as feeling flat that could be not having enough fat in the diet. In my case I started having spells of low energy when my weight got very low. There just wasn’t enough body fat left to sustain me and I had to up my fat intake.

The fat thing could be a part of it but I think I still could lose some visceral fat. I fee like I am eating enough fat but I have pushed the proteins as of late and could have the proteins to fat a tad off. Maybe?

The energy could be from any of the things I listed and maybe a combination of any of those same things.

I use to have, let's say, some really offensive gas. After a couple three months on carnivore it went away for the most part and when I did it was not near as "offensive". I must have had something laying around in my stomach because when it started, it started. It had been a while since I could clear a room.

I am sure there are worse issues to deal with other than venting off here and there.
