Started a Fat Fast Today

(Mindi ) #1

So being that I’ve written before about how the scale after three months is pretty much up .4 down .2 etc. etc. bouncing around with not much weight loss, I decided after reading for two days on Fat Fasts to try a 3 day one.

Today was Day One and not really hard. I started with my unsweetened coffee with HWC, 2 pieces of bacon (only because my husband cooks and I hadn’t told before he cooked it) and my one ounce of cream cheese. I then only ate one ounce increments of cream cheese for the rest of the day and water. In total my macros were 864 calories, 85.1 fat, 22.6 protein, 6.8 carbohydrates.

I plan to do this Saturday and Sunday. I wasn’t really hungry st all and thought the cream cheese would be gross, but it really wasn’t. Am I doing this right or do I need to change anything?

Not really necessary to limit your calories on a fat fast. Have a little more bacon!

lol don’t limit calories on a “fast”. Am I in bizarro land? sign me up for these unlimited calorie “fasts”

I was gonna say everything I read says “limit calories on a fat fast to 1,000 but 800 is better, if you can.” The only point of a fat fast is too make a plateau move. If you over indulge, I would think nothing will come of it. Today, I am down a pound and a half I am happy to say.

One other question I have though is…being anything we eat makes our insulin spike, is it better to eat say 3 ounces of cream cheese at one time then dividing it up throughout the 8 hours like I did yesterday? Or doesn’t that matter during a fast? The directions I read, were to divide it up and eat one ounce st a time.
