Re: The best way to lose weight

You could lose much more than that if you wished.

I don't know why you are low on energy, but when you finish fasting it's best to go on the type of diet at http://www.drmcdougall.com/ or http://www.drfuhrman.com/ - they are similar, but the first one is more starch based.

After your initial weight gain you should lose weight consistently with either of these diets, you wouldn't really need to fast again, but if you did I think you would find any energy problems would be gone.

I have lost 36 pounds in 138 days eating like this, that's just under 8 pounds per month.

I lost just over 70 pound overall by fasting - including my weight gain, in 437 days, that's just under 5 pounds per month.

The raw data is here and graph is here and below, go check it out. The changeover point was 25 January 2009.

I agree with Hopinso and others when they say that fasting is not the best way to lose weight.

Eating this way makes you live longer and not get ill. Healthy eating has many benefits over constant fasting and refeeding, and for weight loss it's quicker.

Fasting however can give you a kick start, and reset your taste buds. It may also give you an initial feel-good factor. But if things go wrong, don't let in give you an excuse to fast over and over again in a never ending loop, as some do here.

Just eat properly instead
