Fat Fast

I just did some reading on fat fast...definitely NOT what I was thinking it was. Going to have to do some planning ahead of time, but I think I'm going to try it next week.
If you've done one, how long did you do it for? I have over 100 pounds to lose so I'd like to stick with it for 5 days, but I'm not sure if that's realistic, especially my first time. Did you just eat the same food so you could easily stick to the 90/10 ratio?

Today is my 2nd day on the Fat Fast. When I first read about it I thought that there was no way I would be able to do this. Now I feel that it is easier than I thought. You might think I'm crazy but during this FAT FAST I'm only having 4 pieces of bacon for breakfast and for the remaining of the day I am splitting 8 oz of cream cheese throughout the day. I love cream cheese so its not all that hard. Surprisingly, I am not hungry. I plan to do this for 3 days, but depending how I'm feeling may extend it to 5 days, which I read is the most you should do. I will let you know how it goes. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
p.s. I know I can eat other foods during the fat fast besides bacon and 8 oz of cream cheese, but its what I've found to be easiest for me and my work schedule.

Thanks for the response!
I actually love bacon and cream cheese. I did find some fat fast recipes on some blog but I think just cream cheese and bacon would work too. Update me with your loss!0 -
So when I started the fat fast I was back up to 162 from 160. This is what drove me to do the fat fast. I just weighed myself today, after 4 days of fat fast and am down to 158, so a lost of 4 lbs in 4 days.
I'm doing one more day.
When are you starting the fat fast?0 -
Today I started! Got my cream cheese and bacon last night...hope to make it through Thursday!0

After a while, that symptom seems to go away. My husband did not notice it at all with me being in ketosis...0 -
I'm feeling pretty good but damn those ketosis sticks aren't any darker! I know I shouldn't obsess over them because I lost a lot doing low carb the first go round and I never even heard of them. Uhhhh...we will see what the tape measure says on Friday morning!0

You should get good color after 2 days of a Fat Fast. What calorie level are you maintaining? I was doing 1200/day and it worked for me. Are you doing 90% fat and 10% protein? Just a few things to check!0

And I spoke too soon ... You are right my color was pretty dark (moderate) this evening even with lots of water today. Darkest I've ever got!You should get good color after 2 days of a Fat Fast.

Basically cream cheese today, one egg yolk, and one whole egg (because I dropped the white in the pan instead of dropping just the yolk...oops).
Goal is 2 more days...my cravings are in check a lot more than just doing low carb. Made tacos for dinner for everyone else and ground beef and cheese seemed like it would be such a treat on Friday!0 -
Yay Mel you can do this!!!!
Let us know how it goes!!0 -
Yes, don't worry about them sticks. I read on the Atkins site that you are either in Ketosis, or you are not. How deep the color is does not matter!!!0

I am on Day 4 of the Fat Fast and my stix this time and previous times, always tend to be around moderate, I never get the dark purples because I drink so much water and other fluids. I like to hear that you are either in it or not, and the colour depends more on the dilution factor.
Thank you!

You are most definitely right. If you are drinking a lot of water, the stix don't turn as purple. No worries though, you are still in Ketosis and still losing. Don't be too concerned on the color!0

I am starting day 1 fat fast tomorrow. Was thinking avocados, eggs, oil, etc. Not sure I can make it through a day on cream cheese & bacon!!!!0

let us not forget about the macadamia nuts!

<i follow a higher fat, lower protein approach - macadamias are key - and i will certainly include them, should i try this fast.>0
