Ended fast a few days ago, will start again in a few days

Ok, so a few days ago I ended my fast, been eating around 1200-1700 cals per day and I've been steadily gaining around 1 lb per day, but I only had a BM today, which could explain part of it. Finding that rather annoying. But overall I'm still down 10 lbs. Gonna do some walking tonight, something I should have been doing all along.

My plan is to begin a newer long-term fast, hopefully about 16 days or so of Water Fasting with light exercise per day. That's the plan.

Anybody know how long it takes for the metabolism to start catching up again? I can live with not losing on 1500, but GAINING a lb a day, is quite annoying. But it's markedly less than on previous fasts where I binged and gained 5 lbs at once. As it stands today I'm 267, and I was 277 at the beginning of the fast, but the goal is to stay in the 260s.

That's the latest, just thought I'd update you. Tweet
