This group is new — and that’s actually a good thing. So let me ask you something simple and real: 👉 What made you join this academy? Was it: Weight loss? More energy? Mental clarity? Structure & discipline? Curiosity about keto or fasting? Or something else? No long stories needed. One sentence is perfect. I’ll read every reply — and I’ll use your answers to shape what we build here next. Let’s make this a space that actually helps. 🔥

I used to eat chips and candy — not because I was hungry, but because I was bored. For many of us, boredom eating isn’t about food. It’s about stimulation, comfort, and habit. When carbs and sugar are removed, boredom can feel louder at first. But that’s also where keto teaches something important: 👉 the urge to eat doesn’t always mean the body needs fuel. Here’s what actually helps when boredom hits on keto: • Warm drinks (tea, coffee, bone broth) • Salt + water • A small keto snack if needed (fat-forward, not sweet) • Light movement or a short walk • A simple ritual to replace snacking Food can still be used — but intentionally, not automatically. Now I’m curious 👇 What do YOU eat (or do) when boredom hits and you want to snack? Food, drinks, routines, distractions — share what works for you.

Here’s how my weight changed after ending the fast: - End of fast: 81.25 kg - T+1 day: 82.1 kg - T+2 days: 83.0 kg - T+3 days (today): 83.3 kg I’m still fully keto, and this weight increase is normal — and expected. Let’s break down what’s actually happening 👇 1️⃣ This is not glycogen rebound Because I stayed keto, glycogen refilling is minimal.There’s no high-carb intake, so this is not the classic carb + water rebound people often talk about. So what is it then? 2️⃣ Gut content & food mass After a prolonged fast, the digestive system is empty.Refeeding adds: - physical food weight - digestive fluids - increased intestinal activity ➡️ This alone can move the scale 1–2 kg without any fat gain. 3️⃣ Sodium, electrolytes & intracellular water During fasting: - insulin is extremely low - sodium excretion is high - total body water is reduced When you refeed — even keto: - insulin rises slightly (still low overall) - sodium retention normalizes - water moves back into cells ➡️ Scale goes up, cellular hydration improves. 4️⃣ Hormonal stabilization (a good thing) Leptin, thyroid signaling, cortisol, and aldosterone begin to normalize.This supports: - metabolic recovery - nervous system balance - long-term fat loss sustainability This is adaptation, not regression. ⚠️ Reality check (important) - You cannot gain meaningful body fat in 1–3 days - Fat gain requires sustained caloric surplus over time - Rapid post-fast weight gain = water + food + recovery weight 📌 The takeaway Even in keto, weight gain after fasting is normal and healthy. The goal of fasting isn’t to stay as light as possible on the scale —it’s to restore insulin sensitivity, metabolic flexibility, and hormonal balance. If your weight goes up after a fast:👉 your body is refilling, stabilizing, and repairing👉 that’s exactly what should happen Watch trends, not single weigh-ins.This is the process working as intended. 💪

Hi everyone 🙋🏼‍♀️, I’m Anna — moderator of this space. I want to add a few words here to help set the tone of this community ☺️. This is a calm, grounded place. You don’t need to be perfect here. You don’t need to push, prove, or rush results. Keto and fasting are powerful tools — but only when used with patience, structure, and respect for real life 🙏. Workdays, stress, imperfect sleep, emotions — all of that is part of the process, not a failure ☝️. If you’re new here, take your time 👍. Read, ask questions, share when you’re ready 🫶. If you’ve been here a while, your experience and honesty matter more than “perfect results.” We’re building consistency, not extremes 🤍 Glad you’re here ☺️. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure — that’s normal. Use this space. That’s what it’s here for 💛☺️.

What’s your main goal right now? A) Fat loss B) More energy C) Mental clarity & focus D) Hormonal / metabolic health E) Discipline & structure F) Just curious / learning Comment with the letter 👇 (or drop a short sentence if your goal isn’t on the list) This community is about learning what actually works — not perfection. Let’s start there 🔥
