Hello everyone:
My name is Russ and I am just starting day 8 of a planned 21 to 28 day water fast. I have done 21 days before and felt great. I had a question: as a merchant seaman, I am required to have an extensive physical every 6 months - and one is coming up in a few weeks. Does anybody know how Water Fasting will effect your blood work? How about liver enzymes?- Re: water fasting blood work archus

I have done many fasts and only tested after two of those fasts. My blood work looked great both times and liver enzymes were border line low.
I have read many posts here on this forum when posters reported good results for blood work. Not many mentioning about liver enzymes.
Perhaps you can do the search under this forum.
Is there any way you can put off your test for one more week? That may be easier.

This is a reply to # 2,273,732Hi Archus - yes, I can wait a few weeks. I will probably refeed on nutriblasts (kale and watermelon) for several days to get me out of ketosis. After that, I will do the blood work. Will post the results if I can.

Glad to hear that you can push back your blood test. You are going to be surprised and so will be your doc, your blood test results will be amazing.
I am reading this book, Brain Maker and the author, Dr. Perlmutter says that during a fast the body makes ketone molecules from fat and junk. Particularly, Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (Beta-HBA), which is a superior fuel for our brain and body.
Good job with your fast, keep it up.
