My results thus far.

Amazing!!

@meganjramos and Dr. Fung are clearly onto something here. Hearing the similarity in ALL the stories on this thread is really encouraging. Wednesday morning I ate a big meal and then stopped eating, taking salt, water, and black coffee. It’s Friday night and I feel like eating again. I’ll probably eat tonight and tomorrow, maybe Sunday morning, and then try for a longer fast during the week. This is powerful stuff.

Hiya - so about 20 lbs in a month? Amazing. How has it been going since? Very interesting.

I have been feasting since the June Zorn Fast. Time for a little fasting. Started yesterday, planning on going 3 or 4 days. We’ll see how it goes.

Then I’ll have a week or so to feast before the July Zorn Fast.

I’m about 54 hours in. Going smoothly. I’ve been reading about people doing long fasts. 2 weeks, 60 days. Part of me says “that’s crazy!”, part of me says “this fast is easy so far. Maybe I should extend it all the way through the July Zorn fast.” Hmm… I added in a little broth and I’ve WAY upped my salt intake. Really seems to be helping.

Im with you there!!!

I am doing a three day fast in prep for ketofest. Coffee and water only - salt helps a ton. Who knows if/when Ill get to the point of being able to do 2 weeks!

I decided to end my fast this afternoon at 84 hours. It was good, I felt fine the whole time, even doing 2 hot yoga classes. I had planned on going until tomorrow, but I felt like eating after spending all morning out in the Texas sun. Broke the fast with some brisket. I’m also heating up the deep fryer for some fried cheese and buffalo chicken legs.

fried cheese

What type of cheese do you fry? I cannot find anything around here that will work but would LOVE to try that!

[Jimbo]

There is a post here about deep frying cheese curds. I tried it and it didn’t turn out well at all. Probably because the cheese curds were not fresh. Someone in the thread posted that they used queso de frier and it worked great. I couldn’t find that, but I read that you can substitute any firm white cheese. So I tried mexican queso fresco and it turned out great. Crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside.

[Lueloff]

Thank you , I couldn’t find the queso de frier either -my problem is that I live in a rural area, and don’t have access to a lot of "specialty " cheeses. It’s frustrating as I’d really like to try that --sounds so good!! I’ll keep searching-thank you!!

[collaroygal]

Kathy I don’t deep fry cheese, but I do fry it up in a skillet. I use Provolone. It it really good. Try frying some cubes of that.

[Lueloff]

Thank you -that is available here-I’ll try it!

12hrs deep into my first attempt at a 72hr fast. Pretty good feast this weekend, so, I’m hoping I got that calorie/fat burn up on my metabolism to really chew through some body fat this week. Fingers crossed for a solid result…

[KellynP]

do you put any keto approved sweetner in your BPC or just the coconut oil and cayenne?

[Misty_Scarbrough]

Anyone here try this on hcg ? I’m doing hcg/keto

[MiKetoAF]

What is hcg?

[Misty_Scarbrough]

Hcg is a diet, some times it’s used in combination with keto
