Video: Hunger Strike Day #32 – Impact on my body
My HUNGER STRIKE AGAINST CORRUPTION began 16 May 2019. We’re 32 days later. What affect is the hunger strike having on my body? I generalise in the video. These figures are more precise.
A 92kg, 47-year-old male requires 3231 calories per day to accomplished the following low-energy routine:
-368 watching movies x 4hrs
-2154 desk work, typing x 13hrs
-212 walking 2.7km/h x 1hr (indoors)
-497 sleeping x 6hrs
LAST WEEK WAS 220 CALORIES PER DAY
- 120 lemon juice (3 squeezed lemons into 2 glasses water)
- 0 salt sprinkle in juice
- 40 brown sugar (4tsp)
- 60 milk (100ml)
(in video, I’d forgotten the milk which, as an asthmatic, I normally avoid)
CURRENT 5 DAY PERIOD IS 433 CALORIES
- 60 tomato juice (330ml)
- 100 soy milk (330ml)
- 130 carrot juice (330ml)
- 40 brown sugar (4tsp)
- 103 non-alcoholic beer (330ml)
- 0 salt sprinkle in juice
A ‘normal day’ would exclude the Bavaria so I’d generally be receiving only 330 calories per day, approximately 10% of what I need.
IMPACT
I’m in ketosis. That’s the process wherein the body’s response to a lack of carbohydrates make it convert fat into glucose for energy. I don’t know how to measure that.
Further subtraction is that I’m short most of the minerals and vitamins I need, especially iron and B.
However, the main cause of the 10kg I’ve lost the past month is owed to fat being transformed into carbon gas. Sure, there may be the odd small defecation but the majority of me is simply being exhaled. It’s an insane fact I love. It happens to you when you diet too.
Update: I never noticed it before. On the video, beside my nose and above the eyebrow the same side, there are three small skin blotches. I assume some vitamin deficiency. On the positive, my nails look fine so Vitamin C holding up.
