I have been doing the Alan Kekwick Fat Fast for five straight days (had two days before I broke on Saturday) and my skin is a MESS. I have always had almost perfect skin with a minimum of effort and since I have been on this fast I have had horrible blemishes all over my chin and jawline. Is this normal? How long does this last? Is this detoxing or what is going on here? Thanks.- Re: Fat Fast Kekwick - Skin Problems npujuicer

This is a reply to # 1,038,492It has been my experience that during detox your face and mouth are some of the main areas where detoxing is evident. I wouldn't worry to much it is probably your body ridding itself of toxins and you'll be good as new once it has gone through its cycle.

I have been alternating between 1000 calorie days and about 1250. I eat mostly cream cheese. Also some egg yolks, mayo & some avocado. I'm usually around 85% fat... For me its pretty easy after the first couple of days when I feel totally craptacular probably due to the release of lots of toxins in my blood - and this skin thing - GROSS! As long as I remember to drink my water. What I like about it the most is that I don't feel hungry. Granted, its not really that thrilling on the food choices but I'm very motivated. This time I have lost about .5 lbs per day, but I'm losing ALOT of inches and since I'm doing this for thirty days this time (please no lectures I'm taking supplements and drinking water) .5 is OKAY. There may come days when I lose more. I find I do best NOT eating the macadamia nuts macadamia nuts make me not lose weight don't ask me why. Also, they are really good so its harder to not eat too many of them.
How's that for a ramble?
Maybe I'll try one day this weekend with just cream? 94% fat is really good! Think I'll do that this weekend its a good idea. Do you whip the cream? Drink it in diet soda? just plain (gag) In coffee or how do you take it?
Thanks.

This is a reply to # 1,042,433So here's how its been going. I've been sort of alternating between days of 1000 calories ninety percent fat. Those days I lose about one pound per day and days when I eat closer to 1300 probably eighty percent fat. On those days I lose nothing. If I eat nuts I lose nothing If I eat less than ninety percent fat or more than 1000 calories I lose nothing. So, I am going to try to do the next seven days all 1000 calories or less and ninety percent fat or more. I don't get hungry per se but I have strong urges to eat. I mean nursing a block of cream cheese all day just isn't as satisfying as REAL FOOD. Its probably emotional eating/food addiction that I'm battling so hopefully I can do this seven days strictly. I should lose 5-7 LBS and yes weight loss is the ultimate goal of this whole experiment.
I have been taking your basic multi vitamin plus C A D and B.
Also on days that I have exercised I have lost 1.5 but exercise isn't an option everyday unfortunately.
I'll keep you posted if I can.

This is a reply to # 1,042,547well, i certainly applaud you sticking with the diet since you're not losing weight. it will be worth it for you to find the perfect balance of calories, carbs and fat that you do lose alot of weight. i wonder if you are in ketosis?
i started the kekwick today. i had been wanting to do it, but wasn't able due to a death in the family and i figured i needed my energy to drive 8 hours with my 3 daughters. i'm using fitday to keep track of my ratios/rations. i ate laughing cow cheese this morning since i hadn't yet bought my cream cheese. i'm looking forward to my avocados ripening for that yummy tuna salad! mmm mmm good.
good luck with your next few days. do you plan on doing atkins after your 7 days are up?
thanks!!!- Re: Fat Fast Kekwick - Skin Problems Ilpirata

This is a reply to # 1,042,628Thats mainly why I'm doing this besides weight loss. How would I know I didn't lose weight when I ate the nuts if I hadn't tried it? Also, I HAVE lost weight. At least six pounds since I started I'll have to double check the exact stats. I'm actually doing this for a total of thirty days at least until December 10. I want to do just cream cheese and heavy cream for seven days then after that add back the egg yolk avocado and mayo. Then after that maybe add back in the bacon and ground beef although for at least the first few days adding meat I'm sure I'll stall. And yes, after December tenth its going to be pure induction Atkins although I'll be honest with you I could really go for a fruit and veggie couple of weeks. I haven't craved vegetables so much in my LIFE!
I just checked Fitday and it has been 6 LBS total, average 3 per week. But that is because there are days of losing nothing and I have identified the culprits on those days so I think its worth it. Based on my theorizing I should lose 5-6 LBS during the next seven days and if THAT works out then I feel justified in the whole experiment so far. I couldn't find anything online about someone doing this and I figured it was best to find out for myself what works for me and what doesn't. Good luck to you. Itll be the boredom, not the hunger that kills you! Watch out for macadamia nuts...

This is a reply to # 1,042,660How are you doing on day two? Yesterday went great for me and I dropped another 1.5 lbs. Just cream cheese and heavy cream all day. YUCK. Hang in there today. Day two and three were difficult for me. I felt generally craptacular I think because toxins were being released. I don't remember how long you were planning on going but if you can make it past day 2 and 3 it really is uphill from there. GOOD LUCK.

This is a reply to # 1,043,271hey there!
day two went great! i was at work all day and snacked on macadamia's and didn't cheat once. but then last night i woke up in the middle of the night and remembered that the reason my doc made me go through a 5 hour blood glucose test was for low blood sugar. i awoke this morning and literally could barely move. i sent my daughter downstairs to get me a big glass of oj and was ok in about 15 minutes. i felt like such an idiot! the reason that my low blood Sugar completely escaped me is that it is new to me and i haven't had my follow-up with my doc to get my test results. but, DUH!!!!! when i told my husband he was pretty annoyed. ALOT of stuff that i should be paying attention to lately just completely escapes me. but i definitely want to keep an eye on your progress, so i hope you keep posting! this is an amazing way to jumpstart into atkins. after the fat fast, induction is heavenly!
good luck and keep us posted!!!

This is a reply to # 1,042,433I would suggest just a standard warm salt solution enema everyday while fasting. 1 teaspoon of Sea Salt (or if you don't have Sea Salt then use non-iodized table salt ) for each pint of filtered or warmed bottled water, or 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon of salt for the full bag.
The water should be 103 degrees F (39.5 C) at preparation time for the most comfortable and effective results.
During any type of fast your body is dumping toxins into your colon, and if they are not eliminated and become concentrated they can be absorbed into the bloodstream and recirculated throughout your entire system.
Skin outbreaks are an early warning signal that this is happening.
