My "Experiment"

OK, broken boilers are not the only problem, my car broke down around a week ago and when my fridge was empty I ordered a few take away pizzas with chicken wings and garlic bread, plus a can of coke.
I also ordered groceries to be delivered, and to make up the order to the free delivery level I added some wine.
So over the course of a few days I added coca cola, pizza fried chicken, bread, and wine. In fact the wine was partly responsible for Mr Columbo's questions *blush*. Oh well, at least some people thought it was funny
Anyway, this is what happened to my weight...
Normally this graph would be slowly going down now, instead it shoots up. I gained nearly 5 pounds in a week. I can imagine how futile fasting must be to someone that does not do anything to resolve the long term issues. Then I am sure there will be will fast > binge > sense of failure > fast > binge and so on. And the worst part? No healthy food to stock the body up for the next fast. Not good at all...
I am not particularly worried about this increase as I can lose it again, but it does go to show I need to keep careful check of myself. So I am going to get some healthy eating in now, and then either fast in the new year of lose some by fitness training. No more pizzas, or at least not 3 in a week for sure!

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,313,301That's very interesting how quickly ones weight can be effected by a short switch to a poor diet.
When I was reading about the pizza I couldn't help but get the image of the ingredients of a pizza rotting, that's what actually happens to it in the body.
Mouseclick, have you read the book fit for life?
Its great for the understanding what foods to eat, making it easy to not want those tempting treats.- Re: My "Experiment" mouseclick

This is a reply to # 1,313,301Steve,
Thanks for posting that, I take it as a warning as to what will happen if I go back to my old ways. Gaining 5 pounds in a week is fast, are you feeling those 5 pounds?
I could see how this could become a vicious cycle for someone fasting for the wrong reasons.

I thought some of your posts here lately sounded like you had a few glasses of wine under your belt. I WAS RIGHT!

mr mouseclick:
i don't know who said it first but my mum *always* says it: 'a little bit of what you fancy does you good'
- so maybe nix the chicken wings, coke and garlic bread. keep the pizza and the wine :) -
you're doing awesome amigo! you have it all under control - and major props to you for that.
(hey: have you looked into les mills pump yet?! i promise: you'll love it - and you know i'm staking shipments of vegemite on it!)

This is a reply to # 1,313,301Not to promote junk food here, but exercise does work wonders to counter bad eating. I eat Taco Bell sometimes when I don't have time to make dinner, and my weight stays the same as when I eat healthier food at home. It's probably slowing down the weight loss a little, but I don't gain any weight.
We all need to be able to splurge every once in a while, exercising just enables you to do it more often. :)

This is a reply to # 1,313,301ehh you probably didn't gain 5 lbs of fat.. lots of water with the junk you ate as well.
When I'm extremely cut and my body is used to a strict diet.. you wouldn't believe what a bit of pizza and cake will do to my body within a day. It looks so bloated you can bearly see my abs. Its gross. But it settles down the day or two after.
You should put some serious focus on lifting.. to build muscle. Then you can eat that crap (not saying all the time.. because it makes you feel icky in general) and not even gain an ounce. Actually it does feed the muscles.. but thats a long speal on bodybuilding and bulking and cutting and blah blah blah blah.
You see what I eat in one sitting at times.. hahah *pig*
Goodluck future fellow hardbody! :P *flexes* - Re: Thanks all mouseclick

This is a reply to # 1,313,301hunh? Didn't you just finish a fast, and aren't you the guy that loves apples and always eats better after a fast? Are you sure you don't have an eating disorder? (i think i'm only partly joking here, cause I don't really grasp why this post has an R, or whether it's in fact all a hoax. was it really an experiment, or just a binge? Maybe I missed a whole lot of background context though, cause I haven't been reading here much). apologies, if so.
"take away pizzas with chicken wings and garlic bread, plus a can of coke."
"take away"? ick. sounds honestly a bit like what might happen when your mineral reserves are really low. (and, you're out of your mind) :-) But then again, I craved cheddar cheese awhile after my fast (calcium, I think).Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,313,782I have to agree that I don't understand this at all. This is supposed to be a Water Fasting support forum and mouseclick gets an "R" for posting about going on a binge? Sorry mouseclick but I just can't believe after all of your hard work you would go on a binge just to "experiment" with weight gain. Most people here know that eating pizza and wings and drinking coke will cause weight gain. That's why most are here in the first place. Sorry but this makes no sense what-so-ever.

I think the post is a bit irresponsible, honestly. Not the junk food so much, but yeah, but the notion that sharing one's binge is all well and good because it's no big deal is a little like hubris. The R though almost adds insult to error. It's a bit like a lifetime achievement award, i guess, (for the weight loss) otherwise I'm mystified. Maybe Jaymz R'd it! He always liked to stir up a bit of trouble with his "let's sing posts". Just to repeat, I'm talking about *this post* and it's being R'd , not Mouseclick as a valued member, and one I've had a lot of respect for since I first posted here. (If anyone wants to know my experience, I've done one 29 day water fast.)

This is a reply to # 1,314,290Chiron,
life isn't always sweetness and light, and posts about perfect fasts are few and far between, but mouseclicks post demonstrates the other side of an organic raw food lifestyle and how easy it is for anyone to slip into a poor diet. He is human after all.
Maybe we should have posts exclusively concerned with the perfect faster and the incredible detox symptoms they are not experiencing.
This is the real World for anyone who can communicate with it.

Wow, I don't think anything could be further from the truth! I think it was very RESPONSIBLE to post this, after all it is what would happen if one were to eat junk on a regular basis. I believe the reason Steve posted this is because it could become A VERY BIG DEAL and he wanted to share his experience so we could learn from it.
IMO giving this post an R was not at all an error! I think it could have been given more than one R and it definitely wasn't an insult to anybody!
Jaymz hasn't posted anything since I've joined CZ so I have a different opinion on who gave it an R, I won't name that person but I would like to APPLAUD that person for giving this post an R.

This is a reply to # 1,314,400You know I think that since Mouseclick has been on a mission to get healthy, which I believe is about a year or so, this could very well have been his first encounter with less than healthful foods, most of which many people would consider to be "normal" foods.
He could very well have been stunned at the effects of these foods.
I bumped into my own little "experiment" today.
I have been eyeing the eggnog on the store shelf for a few weeks thinking - that would be a nice treat just to taste a little, remembering how good it was as a kid getting it from a local dairy.
Today the eggnog was on "special" and for two dollars, I thought - I could just have a little and dump the rest for that price.
I bought it, it was very tasty, most of it was gone by the time I reached home and there wasn't a lot to dump out.
For a number of hours after I was feeling kinda crappy.
Its really a surprise, the negative effects of unhealthful food when you've been on a heck of a good diet for some time.
I was a bit stunned.

This is a reply to # 1,313,782If I were to take a guess I would think it received an R because it is a valid warning of what could happen after a fast if we revert to our old eating habits, and just how quickly it will happen.
" I gained nearly 5 pounds in a week. I can imagine how futile fasting must be to someone that does not do anything to resolve the long term issues. Then I am sure there will be will fast > binge > sense of failure > fast > binge and so on. And the worst part? No healthy food to stock the body up for the next fast. Not good at all..."
Obviously the paragraph above explains it all, but I appreciated reading this after I ended my fast. I will be more diligent in the food I choose to eat after my refeeding. I know we are all tempted with our trigger foods, this shows what happens if we let it get out of hand. It teaches us a lesson in what not to do. I think it needs to have attention called to it.

This is a reply to # 1,313,810I agree, I thought it was obvious why it was given an R. I have not seen anyone try harder to offer their best support than chrisb1 and mouseclick in all the time I've been here, and it's a shame that people want to pick at them just because... well, I don't know why they do it.
People giving advice on CureZone? God forbid! Let's all just sit back and watch people make stupid mistakes and say, "It's not my concern, I'm not a medical professional." Wanna fast? Sure! We don't care why, we don't care how long, we don't care if your body can't handle it, 'cause it's none of our business! What? You thought CureZone was supposed to be educational? No way! That's what the doctors are for... right?
I'll see you at the exercise forum Willow, I think I'm done here.
