Started another fast on Sunday evening and thinking about going until Friday or even making it an even 7 days and trying to get all the way to Sunday evening (although it is usually the desire to have a low carb drink or 7 on the weekend that causes me to start eating some food again on Friday morning), we will see how it plays out as I only plan to take in coffee with a bit of cream and broth to help keep my sodium and electrolytes in place. I have not weighed myself since my last fast but Iost 10 lbs on it (probably gained 2 of water back once I started eating again but since then I am guessing I am at worst even if not down another 5 lbs...I just don't feel it is necessary to weigh myself all the time anymore as I know the weight is coming off via combo of living a low carb healthy fat eating lifestyle vs the SAD. I will weigh myself the day I decide to stop my fast to see where things come in, so far down 40 since early/mid Jan with no real dedicated increase in physical activity.
Also, just watched this video this morning that really makes you Calories In Calories Out model people look silly...it is an intersting 30ish minutes by a Harvard Doc that really puts into perspective how bad the standard American diet is for those in the moderate to high insulin production groups. If you still end up buying into the Calories In Calories Out model after this you are probably just one of those people who were blessed with low insulin productivity (not T1) as part of your genetics (congrats) but that doesn't give you a free pass to continue to sound like an uneducated dolt, so have a watch and have your mind opened to the real truth.
