    Default Diabetes, Fasting, Keto and SS Novice

    I have been doing the SS Novice program for 6 weeks. After Thanksgiving 2018 I started fasting every 3 days for 36 hours and have been following a Keto diet. I have lost 40 pounds with fasting and diet have completly stopped my 4 insulin shots per day with normal blood sugars. Now that I am hot and heavy into SS Novice I am concerned about my eating/fasting and muscle adaptation I should be seeing. I usually feel great when lifting during a fast but, my last fast/lift day 4 hours after I experenced hunger like I have never had during fasting. My blood sugar was 73 and I had to break fast. Any thoughts on combining Keto with fasting and SS?

    This type of diet won't work very well long term. Plenty of posts on this. How much are you lifting?

    You can deadlift more than this. Add weight.
