I am up to 3iu’s daily. Still no side effects yet. I have my diet dialed in and do run almost daily for cardio. I check my fasted blood sugar several times a week.

Scripture for Today Read aloud in every Catholic Church in the world, in the local language: Tuesday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 366 Reading 1 1 Kings 21:17-29 After the death of Naboth the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite: "Start down to meet Ahab, king of Israel, who rules in Samaria. He will be in the vineyard of Naboth, of which he has come to take possession. This is what you shall tell him, 'The LORD says: After murdering, do you also take possession? For this, the LORD says: In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, the dogs shall lick up your blood, too.'" Ahab said to Elijah, "Have you found me out, my enemy?" "Yes," he answered. "Because you have given yourself up to doing evil in the LORD's sight, I am bringing evil upon you: I will destroy you and will cut off every male in Ahab's line, whether slave or freeman, in Israel. I will make your house like that of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and like that of Baasha, son of Ahijah, because of how you have provoked me by leading Israel into sin." (Against Jezebel, too, the LORD declared, "The dogs shall devour Jezebel in the district of Jezreel.") "When one of Ahab's line dies in the city, dogs will devour him; when one of them dies in the field, the birds of the sky will devour him." Indeed, no one gave himself up to the doing of evil in the sight of the LORD as did Ahab, urged on by his wife Jezebel. He became completely abominable by following idols, just as the Amorites had done, whom the LORD drove out before the children of Israel. When Ahab heard these words, he tore his garments and put on sackcloth over his bare flesh. He fasted, slept in the sackcloth, and went about subdued. Then the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, "Have you seen that Ahab has humbled himself before me? Since he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his time. I will bring the evil upon his house during the reign of his son." Responsorial Psalm Psalm 51:3-4, 5-6ab, 11 and 16 R. (see 3a) Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned. Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness; in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense. Thoroughly wash me from my guilt and of my sin cleanse me.  R. Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned. For I acknowledge my offense, and my sin is before me always: "Against you only have I sinned, and done what is evil in your sight." R. Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned. Turn away your face from my sins, and blot out all my guilt. Free me from blood guilt, O God, my saving God; then my tongue shall revel in your justice. R. Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned. Alleluia John 13:34 R. Alleluia, alleluia. I give you a new commandment; love one another as I have loved you. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel Matthew 5:43-48 Jesus said to his disciples: "You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect."

Isaiah 58:3 ‘We have fasted before you!’ they say. ‘Why aren’t you impressed? We have been very hard on ourselves, and you don’t even notice it!’ “I will tell you why!” I respond. “It’s because you are fasting to please yourselves. Even while you... bible.com/bible/116/isa.58.3…

I tried to change Closed my mouth more Tried to be soft, prettier Less... awake Fasted for 60 days Wore white Abstained from mirrors Abstained from sex Slowly did not speak another word And that time my hair I grew past my ankles I slept on a mat on the floor I swallowed a sword I levitated Into the basement Confessed my sins And was baptized in a river Got on my knees and said, "Amen" And said, "I mean" I whipped my own back And asked for dominion at your feet I threw myself into a volcano I drank the blood and drank the wine I sat alone in begged and bent at the waist for God I crossed myself in thought I saw the devil I grew thickened skin on my feet I bathed in bleach And plugged my menses with the pages from the holy book But still inside me coiled deep was the need to know Are you cheating? Are you cheating on me?

I felt so bad and indebted the day I heard that my mum fasted throughout my PATH and Pharm MB exam dates.

Interesting- I do take my GH at night, but do my walk early in the morning. I do sub-q to have a slightly delayed release of GH that hopefully lingers for my morning fasted cardio, and I've been using l-carn IM in the morning. No carbs in this situation, but the GH may be unlocking the magic?

oomfs if I fasted until (thursday when im going drinking with my friends) would i get drunker or....

fasted workout. quick collab check in over coffee ☕️ gotta prep breakfast & lunch for another 5 am shift tomorrow 💤

Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar and one of the four sacred months chosen by Allah Himself 🌙 Here is what every Muslim should know about it 👇 ✅ Fasting in Muharram is the best voluntary fast after Ramadan ✅ The 10th day, Ashura, carries special significance and great reward ✅ Fasting Ashura expiates the sins of the previous year ✅ The Prophet ﷺ fasted it, the Companions fasted it, and we are encouraged to do the same ✅ Fast the 9th and 10th together to follow the fuller Sunnah Do not let this blessed month pass without taking advantage of it. Even one fast can make a difference. 🤲 Read the full article here 👇 islamonline.net/123193 🔖 Save this and share it with someone who needs the reminder. #Muharram #Ashura #IslamicCalendar #FastingInIslam #IslamOnline

I love to hear you’re feeling good! It’s been a while since I fasted last, perhaps it’s time for me to do another one! 🤔

9/ Your microbiome is your first line of deuterium defense — and when it fails, the cancer pathway begins. The body does not wait until deuterium reaches the mitochondria before dealing with it. It starts much earlier. In the gut. According to Boros and Stephanie Seneff — Senior MIT Researcher — one of the primary functions of the microbiome is deuterium management. Bacteria use deuterium differently than human cells. They use it to divide. Their ATP synthase nanomotors run in reverse. Instead of excluding deuterium, they retain it. They effectively trap heavy hydrogen inside themselves before it reaches your tissues. The mechanism is straightforward. Bacteria absorb deuterium-containing compounds arriving from digested food. They ferment those compounds into metabolites such as butyrate and propionate. These metabolites are relatively deuterium-depleted compared to the original substrate. They are then absorbed through the gut wall and delivered to the mitochondria as cleaner fuel. The deuterium remains behind. Eventually leaving the body through the stool. From this perspective, the microbiome is not just producing beneficial metabolites. It is functioning as a filtration system. A biological buffer between dietary deuterium and the mitochondria. There are examples of this adaptation in extreme physiology. Fat-adapted marathon runners develop specific Veillonella bacteria colonies that convert circulatory lactate into propionic acid — a deuterium-depleted 3-carbon ketone body — protecting nanomotors during extreme endurance. Alex McDonald, who ran 5 marathons in 5 consecutive days while fasted, showed this microbiome signature. The implications become more interesting when the microbiome is damaged. Antibiotics. Glyphosate. Processed food. Dietary inconsistency. When the microbiome loses its ability to perform this filtration role, the burden shifts elsewhere. The cells must compensate. They do this through glycolysis. Glycolytic flux increases. The cell attempts to compensate for the loss of microbial deuterium filtration. The backup system becomes the primary system. Cells running continuous high-flux glycolysis are operating in Warburg metabolism. According to Boros, this is the initiation of the cancer pathway. A 1988 paper published in Nature found that when mouse fibroblasts were transfected with bacterial ATP synthase that retains deuterium, the cells became cancerous. For Boros, this observation fits a larger pattern. Deuterium control is not an occasional task. It is a constant task. When the microbiome is functioning properly, much of that burden is handled before nutrients ever reach the cell. When the microbiome fails, the burden shifts to the cell. The cell responds through glycolysis. And according to Boros, that is how the cancer pathway begins. His conclusion is blunt: "That's how cancer develops. Meaning that it originates from the microbiome."

@RealCandaceO Thank you for writing this book. It has brought me back to my own school days and reminded me of things I haven't thought about in years. I remember when sex education was first introduced in my school and replaced my home education class—the class where we learned sewing, cooking, and other homemaking skills. My parents strongly disagreed with it and believed those conversations belonged at home. At the time, I thought they were old-fashioned and completely out of touch. Like many young people, I was far more inclined to believe my teachers, the culture, and my friends than my parents. The book also made me think about my own life. My now-husband and I lived together before we were married because we thought marriage was an outdated institution. I was very much influenced by the feminist mindset of the day and believed independence and career success were the highest goals. Then life humbled me. After seven miscarriages, I was told I would likely never have children. I prayed and fasted and told the Lord that if He blessed me with children, I would dedicate my life to raising them for Him. God honored those prayers and blessed us with seven children. What surprised me was how difficult it was to surrender some of my own ambitions. I had imagined a very different life for myself. Accepting that motherhood, homeschooling, and family would take precedence over my career was a humbling process. The Lord and I had many long conversations about it. Homeschooling was uncommon at the time, especially among Black families in our area. Our children were often teased for "acting white" or "talking white." We simply wanted them to know they were children of God first and foremost, and to learn how to think for themselves. Looking back, we certainly weren't perfect, but our children are now adults and every one of them is grateful for the way they were raised. They appreciate the faith, values, and close family relationships they were given. It's not surprising to me that our culture has changed so dramatically. Scripture tells us that we are in a spiritual battle. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers. Because of that, I've always believed parenting is about more than providing food, clothing, and an education. It's about stewarding the lives God entrusts to us. This book has reminded me how often the things I once dismissed as old-fashioned or backward look very different through the eyes of a wife, mother, grandmother, and follower of Christ.

The peasant farmer in 800 AD who prayed at sunrise, fasted before feast days, slept when the fire died, and worked by the solar calendar had better circadian hygiene than any sleep researcher who drives to a fluorescent laboratory at 9 AM, eats lunch at his desk, and publishes guidelines from behind modern screens

the first time i ever fasted over 24hrs it made me realize how much emphasis there is on food. it’s EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE. ALL. THE TIME. not from a survival standpoint. it’s in trends, plans with friends, gluttony is all over social media especially. i couldn’t escape it.

getting 10k steps fasted on my period, kill me please
