RE: Two Week Water Fast, started TODAY! April 29th...
100%. I did my first water fast a little over a year ago. Went from 240 lbs to 195 lbs in 23 days. Took me just a few months to get back up to 230 lbs, I did not know to change my eating habits, how freaking stupid is that? I was eating vegetarian but still eating eggs and cheese and lots of bread and french fries duh.
While on my first water fast this year in Jan I decided to eat mostly raw and I am 100% vegan. Its easy to be a junk food vegan so mostly I eat fruit now, and I am still addicted to homemade pizza without cheese and biang biang noodles lol. The noodles and pizza are addictive and I over eat them so I will have to watch them but I am getting better. When I stopped the water fast this past feb 6th I think it was, I was 170 lbs, I actually bounced between 165lbs and 170 lbs so doing much better than the first time.
For what it's worth...I eat EVERYTHING. I cook with LARD (and my cholesterol is PERFECT). Mostly meat, pasta, potatoes, very few veggies, cake with whipped cream, chocolate, everything I crave. All the shit I can buy here in LA is poisoned anyway, so why even bother with supposedly "healthy" or "organic". I think the key is mostly HOW MUCH you eat, not what. Calories in vs calories burned. I eat what I want and when I want. But I stop when I am not hungry anymore. And I don't eat just because it is lunch time. If you fast for a while, the stomach shrinks, that means you will feel fuller quicker. The danger is to stretch the stomach by eating too much. Keeping the plates small also helps.
I think we are not made by nature to consume 3 meals a day. Our ancestors did not have a refrigerator full of stuff at their disposal whenever they were hungry. They had to go and find something to eat. Sometimes they did not. And the "recommended" calories coming from the cabal is false. Look at the obesity epidemic in the US.
So, for me, eating one meal a day whenever I get hungry enough and eating whatever I like works great for me. But everybody is different...Good luck to you!
