While I’m still waiting for the “Big One” (my official HbA1c result from yesterday’s blood tests), some other lab work just landed in my inbox.
When you’re doing a metabolic reset like this – losing 40lbs in 100 days via a combination of strict keto diet, intermittent fasting, and exercise – people (and doctors!) often worry about the strain on your body. They wonder if the kidneys are holding up or if your electrolytes are crashing.
The results are in, and it’s a clean sweep!
- Kidney Function: My filtration rate (eGFR) is exactly where it should be – operating at peak performance.
- Electrolytes: My sodium, potassium, and chloride levels are rock-solid. This is a huge win because it proves that my hydration and mineral balance are perfect, even with the fasting and keto protocol.
- Hydration & Metabolism: My urea and creatinine levels show that my body is processing everything smoothly without any signs of dehydration or stress.
The Takeaway: This “mini-win” is actually a major milestone for me. It proves that this isn’t just about “starving the sugar” – it’s about a healthy, sustainable biological shift. My “engine” isn’t just surviving this challenge; it’s thriving.
Stay tuned… the official HbA1c should be here any moment! 🤞
