I am starting an intermentant fast tomorrow in order to loose weight and gain some control over the food I eat. Because I am a very busy person and have a young child and family to take care of , I need my energy. Through my own experience when I have water fasted in the past I do get tired and have a loss of energy. I am not able to find time to rest with a family to take care of.
I plan on doing 3 days of Water Fast followed by a day of sensible eating (mostly raw foods) My plan is to do this in order to loose over 100 lbs. I have many other reasons for doing this besides weight loss.
Has anyone else tried doing the intermentant fasting like this instead of the one day on one day off? Has anyone had any success?

This is a reply to # 1,470,324fasting seems kinda risky to me. Maybe like 2 days would be more approriate followed by raw vegetable because you need calories for your regular activity. Even though i think its risky, people used to do it religously in the days of the bible and i hear its somewhat beneficial. you will lose weight if you only drink water for 3 days.

This is a reply to # 1,470,324I have tried the 3 days on and one day off, but for ME for some reason, I could never get back to the day 3 one. It was a constant day of eating once I put that first once of food in my mouth. But again that was my experience and I am sure many have been able to accomplish this, but I can not. It's either all or nothing.
Good luck! - Re: Fasting 3 days on, 1 day off. cari410

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,470,324I tried to do this several times and like thebeautyoffasting I always ended up binging during my day off (as it so happened to be yesterday). I'm still losing weight, but at a very slow rate.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,470,774I have done long fasts and also played with intermittent fasting for a couple of months. For me, I found that 3 days was too long - I started to have brain fog quite often and would have a hard time functioning. I found that a maximum of two days worked best for me and I liked to keep it pretty random with the eating and the fasting so that my body wouldn't get used to it (sometimes 1 day of eating, then 2 days of fasting, then 2 days of eating, 1 1/2 days of fasting, then 1 day of eating, etc). It worked fairly well for me.
Now I would only fast for a maximum of 2 days or at least 7 or longer. But you will see what works for you.
Good luck with your goals!
