	I think I've done a poor job in the past of keeping electrolytes up. I wasn't taking the magnesium and potassium and I think that was an issue. But I also think this is why I've had issues with nausea. I'm going to try adding a pickle to see if that fixes it. It's a good chunk of sodium and essentially no calories. It may also be nice to have something to eat. Taking them at the same time may help. When I take the magnesium and potassium I feel a bit more nauseous for a while after.

			2 keto days and 2.5 fasting days.

			Started off really well. Again, I developed rapid nausea. Hunger was relatively mild. Next fast, I want to drink more water and really increase electrolytes for the first 1.5 days. I did take magnesium and potassium supplements. Maybe try 2C of miso and 3 pickles on days 1&2.

	An interesting note; I did one day of keto on 4/3 and one day fast on 4/4. I'm comparing that experience with the first days of this fast. I felt some of the transition begin on the second day of keto. And I had some hunger on the first day of the fast. What I did a week earlier had both of those things happen on the same day. So 2 days of keto seems like a good move. More might be better, I'm not sure.		An interesting note; I did one day of keto on 4/3 and one day fast on 4/4.

	If I ~~can do a 10~~ day ~~fast, then I should be able to do a few per year~~. ~~The long term goal is to be gaining weight slowly enough that~~ I ~~can maintain a healthy weight with ~4 fasts per year~~.
	~~Then~~ I ~~can just have~~ a ~~cycle~~ of 10 day ~~fast, track weight until 5lbs over target, fast again~~. ~~With~~ a ~~caveat of 30 days between fasts~~.
