    As you learned during your 24 hour fast, you don't respond well to food deprivation. So your response to the post-deprivation binge is to go back into deprivation mode? Sorry, I'm not following your logic. You seem to be asking for another binge.....

    Ikr :) and as I said I'm going to US and I really love American food, so the binge will happen anyway - yes I'm a weak carboholic

    again it's just an experiment for 2 weeks to see what happens and to see where my limits goes

    thanks for the concerns but most of you have to lighten up a little I will not shrivel up and die...
    I lightened up by asking for popcorn, but you flagged me. So I'm a little confused on what you want from us exactly?

    OP I think you perhaps need to lighten up and stop abusing the flagging system. Not cool.

    So, hey, best of luck. There's just no reason to be pushing ideas like this onto others.

    I have no intention to give ideas, it is clearly stated as an n=1 experiment, and I assume that most of people here are above 18 and are smart enough to understand this

    my basic stand on minimum calorie intake is that a person shall not normally eat below his/her BMR - should I make an official disclaimer?

    I'm getting incredibly annoyed with the flagging system here. How is what I said AT ALL abusive???? I despair completely.
    OP is probably flagging anyone that openly and strongly disagrees with his "experiment".

    no flagging from my side, people are entitled to an opinion...although it seems to be a lot of "bro-science" in many replies...

    If you look at all the users who agreed or supported OP, they are most likely unfit and or overweight. Anomaly.

    What?

    PS I love reading your posts and looking at your picture and imagining its the pup talking.

    Intention. Speaking of being smart enough...
    OK I normally don't lob personal attacks so it's clearly time for me to accept my well-deserved flag and find something better to do with my day.

    Pretty close to fasting it is 50% of your daily requirements to maintain, yikes.
    If you are doing Keto, why are you also throwing in IF? Neither of which is required for weight/fat loss.

    with only your 40ish lbs to lose your goal should have been to lose 1 lb/week, and down to 0.5 for the last 10 or so.

    That said, since you are only looking at such a large deficit over two weeks, the worst that will happen is a large % of the 2-5 lbs will come from lean muscle, not just fat. If you are okay with that, have at it.

    IF comes more or less natural to me since I cannot eat breakfast...

    After more than 15 years of testing different diet lifestyles, keto/low carb is the only that works for me, my willpower is simple not strong enough to eat in moderation on a carb-based diet, i.e. it always end up in a glorious binge...

    Not so much exercise, just a morning walk (LISS), no intensity at all

    This is insane. Weight naturally fluctuates. Eat at a moderate calorie deficit and your weight loss will happen.

    Also, I don't blame you for overdoing it after a medically necessary fast.

    Yes I know right :D - but it's an experiment, and I really want to say that I lost 44 lbs in 6 months + I'm going to US in July for 4 weeks, so...

    It's an experiment in decimating your LBM and feeling weak, getting inadequate nutrition and reinforcing bad approaches to weight loss...that's what it is

    Agreed. Anyone supporting this is lacks a basic understanding of nutrition. I'm the same height, and I would legitimately waste away. 3000 calories is my maintenance, if I'm not lifting very much or getting enough sleep.

    *Completely loses interest in this thread and drifts off into a fantasy of what life would be like if 3000 calories a day was my maintenance...*

    *drool*

    just a minor update,

    today I was a little sluggish during my fasted morning stroll, and during rest of the day I felt a little "flat", so therefore I skipped the weight training...

    There's no way this can go wrong right.

    I wish you best of luck but not in this endeavour. Success will not lie down this road

    maybe that will be the final conclusion, I nowhere stated that this is a good & healthy approach, hence the title...

    sorry but I didn't flag you...and I don't want anything from anyone, just writing about my experiment...but a lot of people seems to get outraged of an experiment that I am doing on myself, that I find a little...weird?

    I'm going to do an experiment on myself; I'm going to start snorting a couple of grams of cocaine every day because losing weight is more important to me than my health, my job or my family. What does everyone think?

    <2 pages later>

    GAWD you guys are so uptight, can't a girl do a bunch of harmful *kitten* to herself and tell the world about it without having to have anyone mention that it's a bad idea? JEEEZ!!
