I reread about the info about fat fasts, I really want to do it again. Well not in this insane way, my body isn’t like that. I think I always did OMAD fat fasts. The calorie amount is less than a decent meal, after all and unlike egg fast, I don’t get a severe nausea that I need to stop eating after 2 bites… I enjoyed my fat fasts enough, it wasn’t proper eating but it was fun and unusual
I only remember one enjoyable one that lasted for 1.5 days and then I started to being paranoid about my protein, it’s my thing and probably won’t change. But it was ages ago and I will try again! Back then I found info about 90% fat so I did that or close to that. Now I saw that 80% is fine so one actually can eat more protein, I wonder if it ruins the whole thing for me. I can’t eat low protein, only super low and high according to my experiences BUT I never tried a fat fast with only 80% fat…
I may try 5 meals (in a small eating window, obviously
my 5MAD days are almost always quite IF ones but they have more calories… oh I stop trying to extrapolate) but it makes exactly zero sense to me. If I lose fat, it’s due to the lack of calories as I work that way so I may lose 1 pound if I do it longer than I like. No, it’s more like curiosity and saving money. And balancing out my too high protein intake.
If you have anything to say about your fat fast, I am interested
What kind of dishes you eat there? (It’s fine if not carnivore, I may try some slightly non-carnivore in December because I have better, less off-putting items for that and it’s pretty important). I plant to try carni fat fasts later. I definitely needed plants for my 88-90% fat intake fat fast (on vegetarian keto :D) but 80% is way easier. I don’t have the only super fatty item I can eat without problem right now (pork jowl, 98% fat and I can eat it alone and it’s very enjoyable).
Do you eat the same multiple times or do you have different tiny meals? I saw some meal plans and it was so strange, so tiny snack-like things and they used vegs in many too… Okay, I obviously had vegs on fat fast too but I did vegetarian keto and was in love with my raw juicy vegs. How things changed since then
I am very curious what i could do on a carnivore and on a not carnivore but extreme low-carb fat fast. Maybe I can talk myself into 2 days but I personally consider 1 day potentially very useful for me.
If I have fat fast dishes, I may try what happens on OMAD days if my first meal is fattier… But I doubt those days would end well as if I raise my fat, I overeat. Fat fast is lowering protein without raising my fat (and as I did it, with 1000 kcal, it was lowering fat too, in grams).
How did you feel? What was with satiation? I was totally shocked that I needed only half as many calories as usual on my fat fast day and my satiation was even higher than normal. It was very interesting to try.
I have bacon now and theoretically I could use it but it would require so many eggs and it probably wouldn’t work. So I probably will use sausages as they aren’t so super salty. The fattiness is a wee bit below bacon (of course I use a proper, noble 45% fat sausage ;). 84% in calories) but it doesn’t lose it easily in the pan so I need to add some lard anyway so it actually gets fattier without my tiny omelet feeling too greasy. Yep, it’s a good plan, using my fav dry sausage.
