Re: 40 lbs. in a month and a half - 25 to go....my fasting story

Nice to meet you and hello to everyone.

I've been doing The Master Cleanse for 19 days now. My intention is to go for 40 days. My question is that I'm working out and burning anywhere between 400 - 700 calories daily. Between walking my puppy for bathroom breaks, swimming and run/walking for 30 minutes it adds up. I'm concerned that I'm not ingesting enough calories with 12 drinks. The Maple syrup, lemons add up to 1300 daily. I understand we need to maintain 1200 for bodies to function. Should I be drinking more lemonade or adding more syrup, to make sure my calorie deficit doesn't fall below 500 - 750? My current BMR is 1672 cals.

I don't want to slow down my metabolism, not just because of weight loss, but I'm actively working out and don't want to cut back on my cardio/miles.

Thanks for any assistance. Tweet
