  • Ann, I'm was looking to lose 20 in almost two months. I started after the first week of may, and I eat 1400 calories or less a day of all fruits, veggies, nuts and beans (I am a vegan of 7 years). I run 3 miles a day 5 days a week with some push ups and sit ups every day. Now, at the end of may I've lost about 5 pounds...…

  • Whey is okay. When I wasn't vegan I had whey, but I recommend the RAW brand only because I've felt its repairing effects more and its less processed nonsense. I recommend you experiment a little bit to try to get the optimal recovery. I would also exceed the protein intake that MFP recommends to you on days after fasting.…

  • Thats very helpful. My general rule is that if I feel full and satisfied then I've done good (without getting the bloated-type of full). I'll aim for 10 but wish for 20! thanks again.

I've met some fasters who have a pill intake of a 85 year old - Protein, D, B12, Iron and Calcium. Just be careful, and follow your body's warning signs. It can have the opposite effect or risk your health if not…

  • I eat 1400 a day but exercise a lot off. Anywhere from 500-700 a day, 5 times a week. Bread is empty carbs to me, as is beer and alcohol. I stick to veggies, fruit, beans and nuts. I'm also vegan which makes maintaining that 1400 easy when I cut processed foods. I figured 30 in a month is impossible. Perhaps 20 is a more…

  • Generally looks like it was slow at first, but then kind of took off. I may have worded my original post wrong - I started running 1.5 - 2 miles a day, 5 times a week about 2 months ago (a month before I started this app, but I did not weigh or measure then). When I started this program around May 7 i measured and weighed…

  • I should have taken those measurements when I started, but I didn't. I did, however, measure my neck, chest and stomach in inches before I started. I think my stomach has gained a half inch. Could that also be water? As far as calories and such, I feel great. I can definitely feel some sort of conditioning, and I drink a…
