    What do you drink on your "fast" day on the Eat-Stop-Eat fast?

    On the days I don't work out at 5am I don't eat breakfast. This means that I eat my last meal at around 7pm and do not eat again until noon the next day. This is a 17 hour fast and some of my filttest friends have this method as a keystone of their regiment, so I am trying it.

    I fast rarely, for religious reasons. I fasted for 24 hours recently and it broke me through my plateau. Since then, I've gained back 3-4 lbs but that is because I've gotten lax in my eating patterns and haven't had time to exercise. Now I'm cracking down again, because T-day is just around the corner and in my family, that's a big eating day!

    This is exactly what I've been doing for the last three weeks and it's fantastic. I HATED eating every couple hours when I wasn't hungry (or worse, getting hungry BECAUSE I was eating every couple of hours). I eat from 1pm to 8pm every day and the rest of the time, I don't. I don't count calories (which is good because I eat HORRIBLY on weekends, but only during that "feeding window") and have lost inches in my stomach and waist (down to a 26 inch waist), but have stayed the same approximate weight (126-129). I'm seldom hungry, except at around 12:30pm because I know I'll be eating soon, and have gained muscle mass in my arms and legs. My body fat % has gone down to just over 19%, which is pretty good for a woman. I really don't know how or why it works, but it does for me, so I'm not about to change it!

    I wouldn’t say it’s unhealthy if done right....
    I watched fat sick and nearly dead last week and it was amazing you should go google it...
