167.8 this morning. Lost another pound overnight.
If my posts begin to take on an incoherent sound, it's because I'm a mess. Today is the beginning of day 5 of my Mostly-Water Fast. It's been about 90% water most days. All days have been 0 to 50 calories. Most days under 50. It is a Water Fast, I just am not very good at it. ;) Still, I'm getting close to having lost 10 lbs. I have about 3 lbs more to lose to get to that mark. I feel like shit, but I'm really excited.
Water fasts can be so tough and really mess with your head... good luck with it.
ReplyDeleteJust out of curiousity, how long do you plan to stay on this specific diet? I've never managed to stay on a pure water fast for much longer than three or four days myself,I think.
I don't know how cool you are with people posting tips in comments, so feel free to delete this... I usually try to make sure I'm getting some nutrients somehow when I fast... zero cal vitamin water, for example.I also think green tea really helps... with energy, hydration, and appetite control. I'm sure you've already heard all this, but still. :)
I'm totally cool with tips. I tend to post tips too because I think the more info we have the better choices we can make.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing the fast for 10 days, so I'm about half way there. It will be the longest fast I've ever done. God it's so hard. I've done week long juice fasts, and about 6 days of the Master Cleanse. They were easy compared to this.
Yeah, I do know about that stuff. I'm just trying to keep it simple though. Green tea I'd definitely skip... it has caffeine, which I've learned is the last thing you want on a water fast, and its a diuretic which means you'll need to drink even MORE water to compensate and stay hydrated, which I'd rather not have to do.
I'm taking L-Carnitine and essential amino acids to aid the breakdown of fat into energy and provide some electrolytes. I think that's all I'll be supplementing for the rest of the water fast.
Thanks :) This fast is definitely messing with my head.
