I fasted for weight loss maybe last year, or the year before, 4 straight months. I ate almost nothing, except for maybe a salad once a week, or a bite from a hot dog. Maybe 3 or 4 times I gave in to temptation (I was even having dreams about food) and ate a proper meal, which was quite hard on the stomach by the way. In general, however, I ate nothing for almost the entirety of 4 months. (The first 3 or 4 days are the hardest for a fast, I would add. After that, hunger disappears as your body switches to burning fat.)
Anyway, I lost about a hundred pounds and felt very very good. Some of that weight was probably just water (I was losing 2 pounds a day the first month, then it varied thereafter), but, otherwise, I fit back into all my clothes.
I highly recommend a good, long fast, at least 30 days, if you’re fat enough to support it! Especially for praying purposes. (You get very emotional.) If this guy was almost 500 freaking pounds, I can see it as possible, though he should have at least been taking vitamins or eating a salad every 7 days or so.
I’m 6’5” and 237 this morning
I’ve never tasted over five days
Lost about 12 pounds
I’ve got heart block and rampant pvcs
A pacemaker
I don’t think I’m a good candidate for a good fast
Glad it worked for u
I think it’s 3500 to 7000 calories per pound lost depending per individual
That’s what 10-20 pounds a month
As u know weight slows after a fast start
I wish I weighed around 215
I always wondered where your handle came from...now I know. Since you’re now one of us Puny’s, you’ll need to change our handle.
Congrats, nice job!
