  • Just weighed in and I am 214.8. Which is my goal, so I am now going to soak up some fluids and watermelon today. Tmrw I will eat some solid food. So my conclusion is Dry fasting works very well if you are trying to lose lbs. My suggestion is not doing it for long term. If you want to do a 72hr, that is probably fine, but…
  • Update: I did drink 8oz of water yesterday because I had a pretty hectic day yesterday at work. But here is what has gone down so far. Mon 8/13: 229.8 (baseline) Tue 8/14: 227.5 Wed 8/15: 224.3 (drank 8oz water) Thu 8/16: 221.3 So down 8.5lbs in 3 days. I think I am going to continue through the weekend since I won't be…
  • Yes, it is a total dry fast. No food, No water. There are two types Soft and Hard. Soft, you can still brush your teeth, shower, deodorant. Hard, none of that. I am doing a soft because well, I don't wanna stink and like a fresh mouth. From what I have read and watched, there isn't much difference effects wise between the…
  • I agree, with the low weight. My lowest was 170 when I was about 23 and people questioned me on my health. I just wasn't eating a whole lot at that time in my life. Probably the lowest healthiest weight I was around 185. I was running 6 miles a day and only eating one meal a day. Was drinking about 1.5 gals of water a day…
  • Venti Iced Americano, light-heavy whipping cream, 2 pumps sugar free vanilla, and two sweetners, blended
  • I am a big fan of sugar free chocolate pudding (snack pack or Jello) and I put a 1/2 serving of almonds (14g) in it. 144 cal, 9 fat, 4 protein, 6 net carb. Or my other go to is a serving of almonds (14g) and a oz of cheese, string cheese, or pepper jack, whatever I have at the time. 174 cal, 14 fat, 9 prot, 1 carb.
  • Great Job Paul. I am on my journey as well. Starting weight of 260 June 1st and down to 227.5 this morning Aug 14. I am 6'2" so I would probably not look great under 200# but I do plan on getting around 210#. Keep up the great work and I hope you reach that 100# mark soon.
  • I just started yesterday. I am 25 hours into it. I was previously doing keto and stared working my calories down over the past week. I also drank 2 gallons of water on Sunday and a gallon Monday. I started at 8pm after my workout Monday night. I am not doing this for any kind of spiritual purpose, just trying to drop a…
  • Turned 37 in June. June 1 - 260, Aug 1 - 230. 200/210 goal weight.
  • My teenage daughter is type 1. This is a cool little hack. Thanks for the info.
  • I am not opposed to a water fast. I did a modified version for 6 weeks. Sunday-Thursday was nothing but water and a diet Dr. Pepper. Then Friday-Saturday I would eat what I wanted. Sunday I took magnesium citrate and flushed my system to start my week off again. Was this healthy, HELL no. Did I lose weight, YES. I dropped…
  • My measurements were off a little, but not too krazy. I found that the 8oz of chicken was 341cal and the Steak (Beef knuckle) is 348. So even adding an extra 300 cals still has me under 1200 for the day which states is the bare minimum for a male. The Halo Top I subtract the Erythritol because I know that it doesn't affect…
  • I just ran across this thread. I have been on Keto since June 1 and I was hungry all the time at first. This past couple weeks, I have found myself still eating breakfast lunch and dinner. The difference now is I am eating a lot less and I am full. I am 6'2" male and I know I should be eating over 1500 kcals a day, but…
  • I am eating anywhere between 1500 to 2000 calories a day depending on what they make on the ship and the snacks I eat throughout the day. The other day I had bacon and eggs for breakfast, a quest bar, two T-bone steaks for lunch, and Grilled chicken for dinner and still dropped. I also do modified bullet proof coffee daily…
  • I understand about traumatic injuries. I am in the USCG and while on my ship, lost my footing and fell down one of the ladders(stairs) onboard. I broke my leg and it took me almost a year to be able to get back at it and actually get in the gym. I started out just lifting weights because I was still afraid to run on my leg…
  • I'm 6'2" male and weigh 225ish. I am actually on a 1000 calorie diet. I have plenty of energy and all my blood pressure and glucose levels are fine. If you are over weight then I think it is perfectly fine. If you are overweight then you have the stores to give your body what it needs to survive. That's the whole point of…
