   • Prediabetes? How It Happened And What I’m ...  

Day 5 recap. I finished a 72-hour hot-water-only fast and checked fasting glucose right after: 91 mg/dL. Pre-fast baseline was 103 mg/dL (−12). Next: back to the Eating Order Protocol + training to keep numbers steady.

Why do a 72-hour fast?
• Metabolic switch: liver glycogen depletes, fat-burning and ketones rise, insulin drops. Short fasts can lower fasting glucose and improve metabolic markers in many people. Refeed deliberately.
• Caveat: during/just after prolonged fasts, glucose handling shifts (ketosis, free fatty acids up). Expect different post-refeed responses vs normal eating. This is physiological, not a diagnosis.
• Big picture: fasting is one tool. My baseline plan is Faith • Food • Form (see below), not endless extended fasts.

Why “hot water” here?
• TCM perspective: warm fluids are thought to support digestion (Spleen/Stomach) and feel gentler than cold when you’re fasted.
• Modern view: water temperature can influence gastric motility; evidence is mixed. Practical rule: choose a comfortable warm temp; avoid very hot liquids.
• Safety: skip scalding drinks; let them cool a bit.

Project Steady : simple daily score
• Faith: prayer or scripture ≥10 minutes before first meal (1)
• Food: Eating Order Protocol—apple cider vinegar and water first , then veg; protein+fat next; carbs last (1)
• Form: any ONE: 30+ min training, or sauna 15+ min + 5–10 min walk/mobility, or a continuous 20-min walk (1)
