  • Time to Fast – Lose 50 lbs. in 5 weeks?

    Time to Fast – Lose 50 lbs. in 5 weeks?

    As the pounds increase, it seems the ailments do also.

    I have exploded from under 140 lbs. to almost 190 lbs. Have not been able to return to 140 lbs. using Keto, maybe due to my lack of portion control. 🤣

    Started going back to basics, calculated my ideal weight and it turns out, I had fat reserves to last almost 90 days.

    Per Grok the longest recorded fast is 382 days, consuming only water, black coffee, tea and vitamins supplements.

    Lost almost 10 lbs. in one week. 50 lbs. in 5 weeks?

    Routine

    • Coffee with organic milk on wake.
    • 2 hours of elliptical
    • Water, vitamins and minerals as needed
    • An active day

    Another benefit in addition to weight loss is a reduced grocery bill.

    * Fasting should never be attempted without medical supervision or an understanding of the risks.

    That said most religions practice fasting mostly without issue

    Story

    Noticed a surge in my metrics and zeroed in the beef as the only new addition / change. My weight went up by almost 4 lbs. in one day. The prior trend was downward.

    So tried beef again with lettuce and apple cider and the results are above.

    Will not buy again. GW.
