November 1 – November 7, 2026 · Days 134–135 · 2 entries
Days 134–135 of the One Year Fast project, written up day by day: three full fasting days in the week, what happened on each of them, and the weight, blood pressure and ketone readings recorded on those dates. Every figure shown here is measured on the day, not reconstructed later.
Day 134 · Sunday, November 1, 2026
Day 134 links the ancient image of the ouroboros, the serpent eating its own tail, to autophagy, the process by which the body breaks down and recycles its own cells, and reflects on what this cycle of renewal means during a year of fasting.
Day 135 · Monday, November 2, 2026
Day 135 explains how the One Year Fast differs from popular intermittent fasting: rather than a daily eating window, the protocol uses three full 24-hour fasts each week, and the video walks through why that distinction matters.
Readings shown on each entry come straight from the health dashboard data logged on that date. The exact procedure, device and known limitations behind each measurement are documented on the methodology pages. For definitions of any term used above, see the fasting dictionary.
