My modified version of the fat fast 5.8lbs lost in less than 3 days!!!!

[junkn]

hi! i hope you don't mind me joining you all here

i'm on hhcg and had a stall for about a week and decided to do the fat fast. so i started yesterday. i am doing it more by the general guidelines though. i am happy to report a 1 pound loss this morning!

its much better than doing an apple day when you are stalled in p2.

i finished the day at about 1178 calories, 84% fat. i wasn't really hungry throughout the day but i did want to eat more of those yummy cream cheese muffins!

i would like to up the calories like you guys have done here but wanted to try the "regular" way first.

good luck all!

Morning all

Welcome Junkn, Glad ur joining us......

Alie, I eat some cabbage some nights and Mary eats those all wheat thingys. I think they called Wheatabix or something. I think she eats it every other day. To keep regular cause obviously there isn't enough fiber.
Also when I make my burger I add flax meal to it to make it stick together better and for my regularity.

So Alie, the good news is u actually lost a heck of a lot more then u thought.... Congrats!!!!!!!

[Flavia]

So, I am down yet another 0.7lbs woot woot....looking forward to getting into the 180's hopefully soon

oh Alie, I also wanted to tell u that in the first oh say 3-4days when my body had to get used to the "new" foods....I went way low and then the next day way high.(my weight)...but then it evened out after a couple days.....hang tight.... HUGS

A little bummed (excuse the punn). lol

Alie,

Salt does that to me SO badly. I'm sure that's why it is. Also, get some
Pure wheat bran and eat it with some almond milk and liquid Splenda. You can add some heavy whipping cream to up fat too of you would like to. I had the same problem as you and that fixed me right up

Welcome!!!
We are happy to have you! I can't wait to see your progress

[SgtBrownsWife]

It looks like I have missed a lot this morning!

Congrats on your loss Christina!!! I am at the same lowest weight as yesterday and I woke up with stupid acne on my face which I never have so I am pulling out the big guns. I have been off of my natural progesterone for about 80 days but after 17 days of pms I am going to take 3 days worth of progesterone since that always makes me start. At this point I'm thinking that short period won't hurt me and my pms is driving me crazy. I know I'm hanging onto water weight and my hormones are completely crazy right now lol.

[Flavia]

oh sorry, I wish I could help you.....hang in there....HUGS

Tag! You're it!!

Well I have been reading this thread with interest and I think I am ready to jump in with both feet and join you all, if you don't mind
Been lo carbing forever, but been stuck for a while. I have a binging personality and even with lo carb, it's easy for me to binge.

High fat really helps me with this, so I'm going to really try to stick with it.
Weight loss would be fabulous!

Hi Janet!!

We are so happy to have u! I always had a hard time not wanting to cheat on low carb. I find that having less things I can eat or more strict rules actually helps me as crazy as that sounds. I think it's just because it's so clear what the rules are it is harder for me to justify ever breaking them. I wouldn't want it that way forever but I find it easier for now.

I can't wait to see your progress!!!

[Flavia]

Hi Janet,
ditto what Mary said.....

Welcome! Mary and Chik are doing amazing. Tomorrow is only my 3rd weigh in but I can attest to the fact that I lost 1.6 the first day. I'm anxious to weigh in tomorrow. Come back in the a.m. for an update!
Mary and Chick have also provided so much support and guidance- I love this group.

On that note- I'm struggling to get my protein down under 17% but I did a better job at lower cals (I need slightly lower than the others because I'm perimenoposal).

Ok, I'm rambling... sorry. A side affect is having tons of energy!

I know you want to keep your calories low but you may have to raise them just a tad since fat contains the most calories so it's hard to have low calorie and high fat if that makes sense. Just do lots of butter, HWC, co, macadamia nuts etc I know it's easier said than done you will eventually get the right mix. Did u see my post a few pages back about the metabolic advantage?

I don't recalll the post, I'll go back. And yes, it is impossible to go low cal and high fat! I'll get it, just takes a little tweaking. Thanks Mary.

No Problem

[SgtBrownsWife]

I just had to share

I know I am far from goal but losing these 13+ pounds in the last 3 weeks (35.2 since the start) has already made such a difference in me. I am now down to a size 16 jeans when I started at a size 20.

Tonight I went into my favorite store and found a dress I loved that I figured wouldnt fit but I decided to give it a try anyways. To my dismay a size 14 fitted dress fit me

This journey is so worth it ladies!!!!

[Flavia]

woot woot.....that is wonderful....I am sooo sooo sooo happy for ya....I love when that happens....that is like christmas and birthday in one day.....

so maybe all this time u were losing inches to boot
