Re: Fasting for weight loss, help!

Glad I've found someone who has been able to lose weight on a water fast.

I've done two 2-week-long water-only fasts previously, and the weight came all back.

And the funny thing is, my lifestyle is not that bad. I'm nearly totally SOS-free plant-based vegan. No junk food for me, just the occasional white rice because I live in China, and it's kind of unavoidable.

I'm at 220 lb (100kg) and I want to get back eventually to 175 lbs or so. I'm 39 years only, 180cm (5'11").

I have the discipline to keep on fasting for an extended period of time. But this time when I re-feed I'll try to keep to plant juices for a while first, maybe that will ease things back without losing weight.

Also I know once I start eating normally again I have to be careful of processed carbs like white rice, and I have to watch oil sneaking into the food. Also I think before I was eating too much fruit. Probably best to do the fast, reset, and then keep to beans and greens.
