Fat Fast Anyone?

MDAPebbles67

I like to use the FF as a way of getting back on track after having too many carbs. This weekend I had two high sugar days. and am definitely out of ketosis.

The traditional FF is 1000calories, 90% fat. It is only meant to be done for a few days at a time.

The truth is, I usually end up between 1200-1500 cals, 90% fat. I am 5'10, 235 and exercise 3x/week. This week, I will FF today and tomorrow, then possibly again this weekend.

If you want a FF or LC buddy please feel free to add me. I could use some encouragement. A little about me...Female 47, Mom, HS teacher with a Binge Eating Disorder. Currently using Low Carb Paleolithic eating and amino acid therapy to control binges and lose weight.

I don't do a fat fast, but Dana Carpender's Fat Fast book has a few recipes that are awesome (I haven't tried any of the really strange ones).

Garlicky Creamed Mushrooms (I actually use these to top my steak if I don't eat them plain)
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
2.5 tbsp butter
2 tbsp Boursin cheese (I prefer Alouette, much more garlicky).

Saute mushrooms in butter until they change color & soften up.
Add cheese & stir until it melts.

Hey there! I don't "add friends" on MFP (sorry)...but I did find a 2 day fat fast very helpful for getting back on track after I was sick and thrown out of ketosis.

One of the favourite things that I made on the diet was cream cheese frosting. I used Kerrygold butter, cream cheese, liquid stevia, and vanilla extract. Whip with electric mixer. YUM!
