1st Fat Fast

[Fasting_Gal]

Will do! I have never actually done a fat fast for 10 days, but I am super curious about extended fat fasting. IMHO Fat fasting is pretty easy compared to water fasting (YMMV), but I have never read of anyone going longer than 3-5 days. So now I am going to do an n=1 and see how it goes. I will keep you updated.

I do a NY style, so no base to try to fake. I pretty much do a normal NY cheesecake recipe minus the sugar being fake and coconut flour in place of the real thing.

5 bricks of cream cheese
4 eggs
2 TBSP butter
1/3-1/2 cup of sour cream
3 TBSP coconut flour
1 TBSP vanilla extract
1 cup sweetener, then taste and tweak to your liking *

Getting everything room temp (or close to it) makes a pretty significant difference in the mix and how it cooks. I do mine in a springform pan on top of a cookie sheet so there’s not too much heat direct to the bottom. No water baths or other complicated nonsense. When the top is a decently even light brown and you look at the top and you say in your head “10-15 more minutes and it’s done” Shut off the oven THEN and walk away. Let it stay in there and cook slowly for a couple hours then stick it in the fridge. Don’t skip that, if you stick it in there warm your gonna have a soggy topped cheesecake. I typically cook at 325F for around 60-75min. But let your eyes tell you when, different ovens are different. I’ve also found it cooks better in normal mode than convection if you have a convection oven.

• on the sweetener, I’ve used every damn one there is. I typically do a mix of sucralose or erythritol and Xylitol. If you use Stevia mix it with something else, the sweetness isn’t right for cheesecake. People get affraid of Xylitol, but it’s the absolute best sugar replacement aside from being a 1:1 replacement it has the same taste in recipes and totally dissolves which some don’t in cheesecake and you get a grit thing going. Downside it obviously you need to get your system used to it if you’re going to use it in larger doses or you risk disaster pants.

@tricia0402,
I wanted to let you know that this hot cereal is so delicious! I love warm cereal and think I have found a favorite! If you haven’t tried it I think it is a must try

Thanks, Dana! I plan on trying it on Friday! How’s your fat fast going so far? You feel good?

Funny this should come up today. I have both of the Fast Fast cookbooks and have been planning out my meals for the next two weeks in a five on, two off plan (as recommended by Nurse Jackie in one of the books).

Since I don’t want to eat five times a day, I’m combining my “feedings” into coffee, lunch, and dinner. I also decided to do it dairy and sweetener free (allowing butter).

I actually did my best weight loss on keto when I used the fat fast recipes as a base and then added protein to it, so I may do that again in a few weeks.
