I am 5 10 and started out at 166lbs. I actually only ever weigh myself at the gym, which I obviously haven't been visiting, so I am not sure what my exact weight loss is. I would estimate that, on day 25, it is around 20-25lbs. I am reluctant to buy scales because I know I will inevitably gain weight over the next few weeks, and don't want to end up being discouraged- I fear that I would self-sabotage.
I have juice fasted in the past, and I have also done short 2-3 day water fasts. These have always just been a way of me to start afresh after particular toxic periods of time (holidays etc.) I've just finished university, so prior to this fast has been the unhealthiest I have been in a long time- I usually eat quite cleanly, but was eating lots of processed, convenience food purely for ease- my academic work was my priority, and foolishly, nutrition took a bit of a backseat.
Thanks for all the help- I will happily take any advice, because I have never come off such a long fast, and obviously know how important it is to do so properly.
I didn't fast for weight loss so much as to have a new start, and cleanse my body for this next phase of my life, but I do feel very comfortable with the body right now, and so I am anxious about weight gain, which I suppose is natural. I'm not so worried about gained lbs (I don't mind if I have more water in me!) I just don't want to visibly expand!! I was thinking I'd probably weigh myself in about 2 weeks and expect that to be close to the weight Ill stabilize at, providing I am sensible. Does that sound reasonable? Is 2 weeks about the length of time it takes for weight to normalize, if one doesnt engage in any extreme eating habits? I will not be mostly raw, or "perfect", but I plan to mostly eat nutritionally rich, natural foods.
Wow, sorry, this is a really long message! I'm so grateful for all the support and info on here. What a great resource for this weird and wonderful journey!
