51 hours in on my lastest fast



Okay I just lost my First email on my mac in 10 years. I am pissed. It was 3 whole paragraphs of great data. lucky you you get the short fomat.

51 hour fast - 21 hours sleeping lost 7 pounds -  .23333 pounds per waking hour.  thats a mcdonalds quarter pounder and hour.

Easiest fast yet. what works -  about an ounce of clamato just before bed.  an ounce of grapefruit juice when I am feeling lightheaded.   One helps me sleep and when i take it right before bed I can't go freaking crazy eating everything.  The grapefruit I drink at work and I only take the one once to work with me.  I found i can have some flavor on the fast and not go crazy if I am in a position to limit the availability of more food.


I am not hungry.  I am only slightly dizzy this morning. Almost all of my little aches and pains are gone. I am 52 hours in running on 4 ounces of juice and noting crazy is going on other than some serious weight loss.   I haven't done any exercise to speak of, I buy a lot of shit on amazon, I learned to write down my research subjects or things I want to get done before my mind slows down so I could remember them o have something to do with my extra time. I don't singularly focus like when I am on catkins.  I think I bounce around a lot more like an airhead on the fast.  I figure it must be what skinny people feel like. :)

I am within 4 pounds of my second goal of 263.  I am not sure if I will make it on this fast but 51 hours ago I was 11 pounds from the goal.  So far the easiest winter I have had in a long time.

amazon rocks! I try tisane up my shopping lists  for during the fast so I have something to think about and do. I just ordered 48 cans of tuna fish. I think it's my new lunch at work.  I get more fish this way. It's in a portion controlled container. I can take 5 of them to work in my pocket and I net out about 40 dollars a week to the positive for doing it.  If i don' like the tuna I will take in a can vegetable or an egg.   I will know when I am out of control because I will be taking in all 3 everyday.

gotta go having fun playing with my food. bobb

fasting again 36 hours

okay I have haven't touched base for a while on my weight loss.  I have been staying in a good zone for about 2 weeks. I have stabilized at around 274 #  I don't seem to be able to loose weight with what I am doing but I am not gaining either i anything I am on the low side most of the time now. I stopped the on and off at 6 pm fastingprogram. It just made me suffer and then eat to much.  I ended up being on a 19 hours on and 5 hours of eating each day (fast 5).  i think that was because I didn't like breakfast so I would eat light and then try to eat  a dinner before I had to go off for 24 hours.  So I was just doing weird things but the switch at a certain time was good. 

The 19 5 (fast 5) diet was actually pretty easy for me and I did start to lose some weight on it.  I noticed I would rush home to eat overnight.  So tat gave me a little more of a binge style of dieting.  That coupled with saturdays off and I thought it was not a good combination.  I started looking at eurpeon diets next.

Will the wine worked, 1-2 glass was actually quite nice and did not kill the weight lose.   turkey, vegetables and some red wine and I think I can lose weight.  I added cheese and nothing went the right way.  So far this is as close to constant weight loss as I have gotten.  I loose it at parties and have not found a method of control there other than not eating or drinking, not much of a party for me but it's cheaper than buying shit on amazon to keep me busy.

So if you think of a good way to survive parties let me know I will try it.  


So I decided that I never needed breakfast my whole life so I went back to skipping it. lunch is a great source of bread and carbs for me so I take a portion controlled cheap and easy can of vegetable to work now and maybe a hard boiled egg.  This is quick painless and requires almost no dishes or thought.  grab a ca on the way to the car. just make sure to have a fork and bowl at work. anymore i just eat the stuff straight from the can.  Wash the fork and your done.  This lite lunch gets me to dinner with out the binge cravings and saves money along with portion control. If i  slip up at work and someone has something good , I try to have a little and quite. It works most of the time at work, hardly ever at home. overall I have a lot less bread and carb opportunities at lunch which is my main bread and carb time for doing this. 

Dinner I just depends on what I have around and if I have to cook or not.  I still don't survive it well but I survive.  I tin I need to tighten up te window of food.  Say nothing but water after 9 pm again and I might have a good plan for me.    So it would look like this.  Nothing for breakfast. ( i still want to try oatmeal as a starter?)  luck comes in a can or some kinda cheap portion controlled no restaurant method.  i tried leftovers, they are to accessible and I eat them in the car or at my desk.  Cans keep me from accessing it easy ( just a big dumb bear I guess) food need to beside and secure if I am caring it around with me. Dinner starts with vegetables, a fiber supplement, water, anything raw and uncooked is better.  ( get filled up and start with the healthier stuff. ) then I try to have some  thing good and stop, I am mostly successful until I start snacking later.  I need to let the clock do my dinner time stop hard work and the saturdays off do my craving work and  hopefully I have found a place to live with some variety, flexibity and control.  I still have to write down my weight on the mirror everyday. Tracking it works.  I look at lie a business, It's hard to adjust if you don't know what is going on.  creativity comes when you don't track. control comes when you track.  I have had way to much creativity and far to little control.

Anyway I have been in the dieting and fasting mode for about 45 days now.  I used to fell thin at 275#'s  now I don't. So I am doing a 36 hour fast to get things going the right way again. I am going to try a little clamato at 24 hours to see if my blood sugar and sleep patterns are better. i am going to drink it right before I go to bed or work so I don't  have a chance to keep eating.  That my current plan.

Oh and I have a cool going out to dinner method now.  I simply let cobie order and split it.  I don't look at the menu anymore and it takes al the stress out of it. It's really like cobie cooked and the bill is half the price.  Portions are controlled better and it's kinda fun not knowing what your going to get. ( jsutlike home that way)

weakness es- chips and salsa  I seem to want these more and more.


gotta go.  thanks for listening. bobb
