Doing 3 days of Water Fasting. Starting December 30, 2011

Reasons for Fasting:
Spiritual, and diabetic sugar control

Past Fasting Experience:
Many years ago, quite a horrible experience. Couldn't wait til fast was over than I gorged.

Present Diet:
Started another day fast, alternating between juice and water, 3 days water, 4 days juice for 21 days. I thought the juices were going to be yuckky with all the different mixes, they are actually fantastic. Down 15.5 lbs from 226.6 since Dec 30.

Supplements:
sub-lingual vitamin B-12 (5/day)

Relevant Medical History:
Diabetes. Blood pressure is good.

Present Medication or Drug Usage:
I was taking 2000 mg of Glucophage. I stopped when I started fasting.

State of Mind:
This morning it was rough, tonight it's great.

Limitations:
n/a

Questions:
I got some ketosis strips and they consistently show moderate (purple) on the strips. I was a little concerned about the constant release of proteins into the blood stream.
