1st Fat Fast

[tricia0402]

Thinking about doing a fat fast. Anyone have any tips or suggestions? Anyone want to join me?

What will you be having for your fat?

I did a 4-day fat fast last month eating 8 oz of cream cheese each day, plus butter and HWC in my coffee. Was much easier than water fasting, imo.

[tricia0402]

How did you do on your fast?

I was thinking of the egg fast and or coffee with hwc. I did the egg fast for 5days last year before going keto, and lost 5#. I’ve been on keto for 12 weeks. I’ve only lost 8#'s. I’m half way to my goal of 140, so I know its gonna be sslowwww! I want to mix things up a bit and see what happens.

I was out of town on business for 2 weeks so I don’t know if I lost any weight or not. My jeans were a bit looser so I lost something.

That was me dipping my toe in the fasting waters…

I followed it up with a 3-day black coffee/water fast the next week and was 7 lbs lighter when I got home. Definitely lost more the second week based on my jeans. Bounced back up 2 lbs after re-feeding, so 5 lbs net.

I’ve been keto since last Thanksgiving and my weight loss had been stalled for several months, so I was looking to shake things up and it worked for me.

I will be back in Houston week after next for 10 days and will definitely do some fat or water fasting while I am there.

I just recently moved, haven’t been to the gym for 2 weeks. I have been walking on my treadmill though. I’ve stayed keto, but I’ve also had a couple days I went over on fat and carbs. No sugars though. Just a lot of keto food. I’ve been really hungry lately. Its probably time to change my meals around.
I don’t think I could do a water fast. I get to hungry! My meals were keeping me full, but now it doesn’t seem to be working anymore. Could just be stress, too.
I really want to try fasting, but I dont think I’m ready.
That’s great being out of town and your jeans are looser! Even if you didnt lose any weight, you’re losing inches. Sometimes that’s better!

hello @tricia0402
I have been researching and just read up on Fat Fasting. I was going to do my first Fat Fast starting on Monday. I would love to join you if you are still looking for support.

I started a fat fast today. My last “meal” was at 11 PM last night. Today all I’ve had were iced coffees with cream (HWC when I make it myself, and 2 from McDonalds - unfortunately they use 18%) a carbonated water, and 2 tbsp salted butter when I got home from work. I worked 8am-8pm and noticed I was hungry around 5pm.

Managed to go to DQ after work to order a birthday cake for my daughter and not get anything else. Its 10pm now and I’m pretty satisfied. I want to eat, but would like to make it the full day. I might have some more butter or HWC before bed - haven’t decided yet.

Hi @dbill545!
I would greatly enjoy for you to join me! What fat fast are you thinking of doing? There’s so many! I was thinking about the egg fast. There are some different recipes for the eggs on Pinterest.

@Mangusdog,
Hi! Today I am going to do coffee with hwc fast, also. I ate bad yesterday…no sugar but alot of keto foods, and a bunch of nuts and almond butter! I need to get myself back on track. How long are you doing your fat fast? Are you doing the same hwc and butter as yesterday?

I really don’t understand fat fasting, can someone explain it to me?

Eating fat is easier than a plain water fast and you get some of the benefits of fasting with minimal insulin response by eating only fats.

[crickette]

some of the benefits of fasting

Oh so fascinating. Which benefits? Also what is consumed and how do you determine amounts?

[Mangusdog]

It was my first fast. I think I’m going to have breakfast and then maybe fat fast again till tomorrow supper. Tomorrow I have a birthday bbq dinner for my daughter and a planned cheat of icecream cake.

Good morning @tricia0402

So I am new to fat fasting…actually heard it on a podcast that I listen too. I have been doing Keto since November had great luck losing 15 lbs in beginning. I am about 15 pounds to my goal and I have stalled. So when I heard about it on the podcast I looked at a book on Amazon and so that is what I decided to use. I will have to look into the egg fast cause I love eggs .

This is what I put together for my fast…sorry if it’s way to much information but I really get into this stuff😂

Ready…

@dbill545, Looks like you really do get into this! Thats awesome! I am the same with the calculations. My kids used to make fun of me when I do my meal prep because I put little sticky notes on the containers with the contents and measurements, and the day I make it. Your Fat Fast foods look yummy! What is the hot cereal? I sometimes miss my oatmeal. Do you always do net carbs? I do total carbs, and try to stay under 10. Do you use an app to track your calories and macros? I use LoseIt.
My hwc fast didnt go to good. I ended up eating, but my macros were Fat 108, Pro 51, Carbs (total) 6. Calories were 1237. Ended up being 81% fat. Probably should be alittle higher. Not sure if I’ll do the egg fast tomorrow, or might just wait for you to start with me.
Hope you had a Saturday!

@tricia0402,
Hope you had a great Saturday.
So the recipe for the hot cereal I got out is from the book “Fat Fast Cookbook 50 Easy Recipes to Jump Start Weight Loss” by Dana Carpender. Here is the recipe;

I use the app Carb Manager to help me manage my macros. Pretty easy app to use. I also use net carbs for daily calculations.

Hope u have a great night!

I am starting a fat fast Monday as well. I am going to do the old school fat fast simple coffee with hwc for breakfast and a block of cream cheese throughout the day. I have a few recipes to spice up eating straight cream cheese. My goal is to go 7-10 days.

[lfod14]

Cheesecake… Coffee with HC… more Cheesecake! Last one I did was a couple months ago, was doing around 4500-5000cals a day and lost 4lbs. That was from a plateau.

[tricia0402]

Good luck!! Please let us know how you do!

[tricia0402]

@lfod14,
That sounds too yummy! How do you make the cheese cake?
