One last fast and I'll be at my goal...

This fasting stuff for weight loss works. I'm sorry that it gets such a bad rap sometimes. I started at 193 in January and since have done 3 separate 5-6 day fasts and as of this morning I'm down to 174.5. I would also like to point out that the weight I ended with one month ago on my last fast was 173 so its most likely I actually lost more weight post-fasting (considering the water weight). I've been eating only 10x my bodyweight in calories (even with some gross exceptions on some weekends) and the weight hasn't come back on.
I'm going to do one final fast that will put me at about 165. At 6' this may bring me to 10% bodyfat mark I've been missing for a long time. The added encouragement is that once you're lower in weight the changes are dramatic (you can almost see yourself losing weight every day)
Bottom line: Fasting weight stays off if you eat sensibly afterwards.
Happy fasting

This is a reply to # 1,193,945Well done pfunk! I am half way to my goal, have another few months to go, and my body fat scale is arriving next week.
Can't wait to get to that end bit where you can see the weight dropping off!
Did your skin tighten up?- Re: One last fast and I'll be at my ... pfunk

This is a reply to # 1,194,060Yeah i've never had a problem with loose skin. The only marks I've ever had visible are on my love handles. A little sun and you can't see them.

I saw your post on loose skin but just didn't have time to post a reply.
These are my own thoughts on the matter........
I think dieting tends to leave loose skin for someone who has been overweight and/or obese, but fasting tends to heal and tighten up loose skin, especially if you exercise during the fast and post-fast: I remember reading it somewhere some years ago but cannot find the reference for it at the moment from Hygienic literature.
I have also heard that supplemental Vitamin C will help in this regard, but again cannot locate the the actual article.
Achieving this will take a little time as Nature works quite slowly towards this end.
Hope this has been helpful.

This is a reply to # 1,194,118Hi Chris, thanks for that. I think the same, but was not aware of vitamin c. I will try and document any problems or successes I have from my own experience with pics, but as a precaution, will lose the weight slowly.

Just thought I'd share my experience with weight loss & loose skin.
In 2006 I completed two 40 day fasts with a two month refeeding period in between. During the first fast, which was a water fast, I lost 61 lbs. In the two months following that I did refeedeing with all raw fruits and veggies and nothing but water and fresh juice to drink (no caffeine). During the refeeding period I lost an additional 33 Lbs for a total of 94 lbs. My skin seemed to be a little loose during this time, nothing major like hanging skin. I then followed up with a 40 day juice fast and at the end of that everything seemed toned and tightened. So after a 94 Lb. loss I am more than thrilled with the results. I should mention that I did do dry skin brushing daily and I continue to do so even today, just cuz it feels so darn good!- Re: One last fast and I'll be at my ... mouseclick

This is a reply to # 1,194,169Thanks for that Severin. Your age also is a factor. Do you remember where you were when president Kennedy was shot, and did you watch the first man on the moon live? ;-)
