I became over weight 15 years ago when I was 20, now I’m 35. And to be honest I did do a lot of very short fasts on and off to just get skinny not really for health. Not really fasting correctly, having diet cokes or whatever was calorie free. My thinking behind it was if I lose all the weight I’ll be back to the place I was at when I was 20 and make up for all those lost years. When I got to the core of why I was in a rush to lose weight, I came to the realization that it’s not going to fix everything, of course I can’t be a 20 year old again, I have to do the best with what I’ve got now ...

So last year I would fast several days, eat, fast several days, eat, this went on for months and I did lose weight. But when I stopped all the fasting I noticed my metabolism was screwed up. I gained some weight back and am stuck at this one weight, and no matter what diet plan I follow, no matter how strict, my weight won’t budge down., It’s like I’m stuck at this one weight no matter what I do. So I’m not looking to fast again. I am trying to figure out how to get my metabolism working normal, or speed it up. Diet plan is to eat 1500 calories low fat vegan, 3 meals fruit as snacks. Th ...

Hi, Last year I did lots of on and off fasting. a few days then eat, few days then eat. I think my metabolism is really messed up now. I’m stuck at a certain weight, not matter what I do it just doesn’t go down. From all the fasting on and off I did. Want to rebuild my metabolism. Any experience or suggestions about this? I still need to lose weight, but it’s not moving down, no matter what. Decided to leave fasting alone and take up jogging 5 days a week. Start off walking/jogging and build up to jogging. I never exercise. But thinking 6 days a week walk/jog around the park build ...

It might take 3 days for you to go into ketosis again, so you may be hungry until then, but it depends, sometimes I am not hungry the first few days, but in theory once you are in ketosis you cravings calm down.   [End]

Messed up on my fasting yesterday. I drank a diet coke cause I was feeling tired in the heat, which made me feel sick, so I ate some salty pretzels to feel better. Next time sticking to just water. Fasting again tomorrow., but today had a lot of rice and bananas.   [End]

Mostly fruit and a salad (3000 calories a day), I did it 2 weeks just started, I avoid added oils, minimal salt, I am trying to get to no salt at all, some tahini on salads. I keep my ratio’s 80 carbs, 10 protein, 10 fats. I eat some rice and potatoes at times with vegetables. Now I’m fasting, but going to continue the diet once I’m finished, thinking fasting will make it easier for me to give up the salts making me more sensitive to tastes in vegetables. The 80-10-10 diet is fruitarian, but you can do the Mc Dougall diet which is cooked starches, ratios around the same, no added oil ...

Well most of the day went by smoothly, had no cravings, keep busy by cleaning. Now I’m having psychological cravings for food because I can’t sleep and am getting frustrated, so I think I want to feed my frustration with food. But not going to. I don’t want to have to start over, and this fast will help me get a lot closer to my goals.   [End]

I do a lot of cleaning and reorganizing to keep me busy, remind myself to push through because I wanted to do this for a while and it will be worth it at the end. Why I wanted to fast in the first place. Actually now I want to eat because I can’t sleep, but if I do I will be stuck where I was before, so I am just trying to find other things to distract myself with.   [End]

I have fasted in the past and my weight stayed down a long time after fasting following a low fat vegan diet, it only went back up when I went of that diet and started eating fatty processed foods again. I found I got full easier after fasting making bingeing hard. I was eating a lot of fruits, vegetable stews. My weight stayed down. Fasting does slow down your metabolism but for a few weeks, it’s not permanent, unless maybe if you are anorexic and never eat anyway.   [End]

I’m fasting to save money and food (on a tight budget) and speed up weight loss. From my past experience my weight stays down after fasting as long as I stick to a low fat vegan diet even eating tons of food, once I go off that diet and eat processed foods, it shoots up. But I am really motivated and have been sticking to a mostly raw diet the past 2 weeks and my weight isn’t going up. It dropped a few pounds but hasn’t gone down past 237 for a couple of weeks. I can’t fast long but could use some support, if anyone wants to fast with me. Especially the first 3 days after that it’ ...

My blender broke and I’m on a budget and can’t get another decent one for a week or two, and my fruit supply is running low, so I’m going to fast. Also I have had success fasting in the past as long as I stick to a low fat vegan diet afterwards, the weight doesn’t come back. And I’m getting frustrated with my weight just staying at 237 on this diet, it’s not going up but not really going down. Once you start eating processed food like Mac Donald’s your weight jumps up, I tell you Mac Donalds really does it to you, makes you fat like nothing else, I stay clear of that food now ...

Didn’t do the fruitarian diet perfectly this week, more slip ups, so about 80% some days and for 2 or 3 days 100%. But my pores are smaller and my face is less oily, my break outs much milder too. I’m getting compliments that my skin looks better. This coming week should be easier to stick too. I am getting more used to eating this way and liking it. Not craving junk.   [End]

So did the fruitarian diet for a week, slipped up forth of July but stuck to my diet otherwise. Lost weight the first 3 days and that’s when my mood would drop too, wonder if there is a connection? Easy to do at home, harder when going out and about. Eating around 2500 calories a day now. Almost 3000 today. My face is less oily, my mild acne is milder.   [End]

Succumbed to eating meat and cake and beer forth of July, went totally off my LFRV diet that night. But now back again. Today I had a snack of corn nuts when I was running errands and hungry, but everything else was raw. In the 3.5 days of eating LFRV I noticed my face was less oily, and my skin was looking better. I have no cravings for diet coke (which I was a big addict) it just doesn’t go with raw fruits and veggies. Plus it gives you diarrhea on this diet.   [End]

so i just switched today and start a low fat raw vegan diet from a bad SAD, I am pooping a lot but was wondering could meat and other foods stuck in my colon still from my former diet. I developed a weird taste for frying and eating dried rice (no boil) and ate that the day before starting raw. Will that just get stuck in my digestive system or will it come out?   [End]

Hi, I fasted before for 10 days, the first few days where really tough, migrane headaches, aches, cravings, after the 4th day I had lots of energy and felt lighter and could walk upstairs with ease which was hard for me. I am starting tonight, the first few days at least for me are the toughest to get through, once you get over that hump and into ketosis it’s a lot easier. Your plan sounds good. I don’t have a juicer so I am just going to eat low fat raw afterwards. I am not sure how long, but at least until July 3rd. good luck to you. I am starting tonight but counting tomorrow as my ...

Hope to see at least all 4 things above improve, and more. Don’t have a scale, haven’t decided if I should weigh myself. I know I am mostly fat and little muscle, and I want things to be the other way around a year or two from now. So, I don’t know if numbers on a scale will matter as much as how I look and feel. It’s also a psychological or ”spiritual” if you want to call it journey. There are going to be people in my life I am going to have to stand up too and push through with my goals and stop doing what they want to appease. So, I know I will grow from this. I will need to find ...

great video but I think water fasting to change your diet is still useful. I’ve water fasted in the past and kept the weight off by eating low fat vegan cooked foods afterwards, I then got a new negative partner who pushed me to eat meat, dairy etc, and the weight came back. But if you follow a low fat vegan diet afterwards the weight from fasting will stay off and of course surround yourself with supportive people.   [End]
