Notes

Start a fast after your favorite meal. It was hard to start before dinner because i really like dinner foods. It was easy to start by skipping breakfast i never really cared about breakfast.

My hope was to find the timing based on the time of day but really when i am on food i just want that last meal satisfaction. So i will keep working on it.

100 days

248 freakin pounds. Lost 51 pounds in 100 days.

> okay it's a good fasting day. :)

> I was abe to predict my weight loss on this on off cycle each week. i am 250.5 #'s. Each week I have been doing this fast (if I don't eat cars and drink beer) it is a net loss of 5.5 pounds for me. Pizza and beer week was a net 1 pound loss. :( I can't hold my lowest weights but i can hit new lows each week.

> so I have been experimenting with fasts for 99 days. i have been on a fast for 34 of those days. I have lost 49 pounds for those 99 days. 63 pounds since I started trying to loose some weight.

> it's a good fast day! Tomorrow I will be in the 240's and very close to my wedding day weight. (chick date i know but it seemed like a good goal)

> this is starting to be fun. i hope i am not addicted.:)

78 hours of fasting

Im coming out now. I switched back to clamato and got back those mikd headaches and shakeyness Gatorade is a clear winner for fasting i think.

Im at a new low. I cant say this sin wave style fasting is working perfect but it is working. I got back tge pizza and beer day and have a new low. It was a 9.5 pound change over 78 hours. So the start up cycle for me is 3# 3# 2#'s if i only gain back 3 pounds or less over the weekend i should have some real numbers next week

Low carb Taco shell pizzas for me from now on. :). Im thinking those breakfast pizzas made like you olive oil taco shells in the oven

Make shell in oven
Take out make pizza
Heat pizza
Make 4 small slices

This will probably be my next pizza along with a low carb beer :)

Fasting since tuesday

Well i have recovered from my pizza pasta bread and beer day. I am back to my low of 256 this morning. I am loving the gatorade on the fast by far tge best suppliment yet. No refrigeration needed easy to blend you always have a water bottle if you need it. I just use dry mix and keep a stock of regular gatorade in the fridge and blend it at about 20-25 percent ocassionsly if i am feeling the need. Same is done at work. It comes out to about 10 oz of regular gatorade a day this doesnt seem to effect the fast but my systems are running fairly strong and quick. I occasionaly toss in a teaspon of salt in my water as well

My tingling nerves seem to comecand go. They run almost opposite of my ringing ears. Im am starting to think these are caused just before i convert more fat to energy. So i am just living with it as it comes and goes. Its not bad just annoying

This fast will end friday morning it will be a juice day for the most part. I set this fast up to end a little deeper into the week thursday lunch seemed like a stupid time to come out. I seem to be releasing fat all day my stomach is soft when i go to bed and i havent dropped much weight but by morning my loose fat is way less and my weight drops alot. So i am thinking shirt fasts that start with sleep and end after sleep.

Next week i am going to adjust the start to monday at 6 pm instead of 11 pm to see if i can sleep through a little more of the hard parts of the first 24 hours.

gatorade a new trick

I have been trying to stabilize for the past 25 days.  my heart rate was slow 43bpm, i use a cool iphone app to monitor it now.  my nervous system was on fire and tingling and i picked up some tinitus or ringing in my ears.  in the end it seems like i had an electrolyte imbalance. Salt water seemed to help a lot.

eventually Gatorade seemed to be the best answer. It's probably not what the healthy people would recommend but i am into what works.

I am 55 hours into my latest fast i feel good except for some minor ear ringing and nerve tingles.  I have been drinking a little salt water and a little gatorade each day.  I don't seem to want food after gatorade especially if it is blended at about 25% with water.  With juice i always had to work with it as i left the house or places where i could stop the intake like at bed time. I am going to hit my 60 hour goal shortly i just wanted a nice short productive fast to move myself to a new level. I am going to up my intake of gatorade as i com out just to see what that will do for my ringing ears and tinging nerves.

i was afraid to fast again because i had not come out very well last time.  i decided to go back in just to see if it would help me reset. Bottom line is I have fewer issues in the fast than out of it.  If i can get the electrolyte imbalance worked out I think I can go for long fasts again.

fasting has allowed me the freedom to change some long term habits fairly easily. This definitely a great tool to use to get control back into a system that has none.
