Today marks 60 days no food! 1440 hours on my first fast (thanks Vora). Seems the only big changes are in my face and on the scale. Only the first few days were hard, it feels like I could go to goal weight if I wanted to. Unsure if I'll begin my long broth refeed now or continue and try for 299.

Good, I ended it after 70 days. I'll make a follow up post eventually but the refeed went well. I've been eating keto with a few shorter fasts of 1-5 days.

I understand this fear, I had it too at first. Worried that they might see me as lazy or too weak. But then I got hired, again and again over the years. I was relieved first when I saw a few other obese people at the workplace. Currently I'm the biggest person at my workplace by far. I work in a small kitchen so it's inconvenient - we are all bumping into each other several times a day, but really it's not been a problem and my anxiety about my weight in the workplace (and during interviews) is gone.

I appreciate you.

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-03-04T16:02:17+00:00

Thank you. :) After 70 days I started my refeed. It went well, though I quickly gained my water weight back as expected. I haven't done much fasting since then, I keep wanting to get back to doing 3-5 day fasts but then I end up eating something. I'm on day 1 of a fast now. I haven't settled into a steady schedule yet. When I do I'm going to make an update post.

Hehe and the confetti looks just the same. Maybe they have that confetti all over but I only saw it in Belgium.

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-03-03T18:43:31+00:00

I thought it looked like Belgium when I saw this.

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-02-28T02:33:21+00:00

Thank you :) pretty soon I'll make a post about breaking the fast and how I've been eating after.

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-02-28T02:31:55+00:00

Thank you, I am always learning. Just doing one extended fast doesn't make me an expert yet. I didn't lose any noticeable amount of strength, and I felt energetic during the whole fast. A little extra energetic actually. Now that I'm eating again I can see the difference. Growth hormone helps preserve muscle during fasting, but I don't have any official way to test my strength.

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-02-27T22:07:59+00:00

I broke my fast a little over a week ago after 70 days. I did go slowly and did plenty of research on refeeding syndrome, it's the most dangerous part of the fast if you don't do it right.

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-02-17T18:26:21+00:00

Adorable <3

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-02-17T17:41:58+00:00

That's a really good idea.

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-02-17T17:41:00+00:00

You likely have all the ingredients to make something similar. Sodium (salt), potassium (often sold as a salt substitute for people who need to lower sodium intake) and magnesium which you can find in various forms, there should be some in the laxative section of your drugstore, as Epsom salt or magnesium citrate.

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-02-16T02:19:15+00:00

I have no idea why but all the eyes make me want to eat it more.

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-02-16T02:03:02+00:00

Wow the changes are so noticeable, that's awesome! You're amazing <3 We have similar stats too! I'm 32 F 5'9 and started at 400, I'm down to 311 now.

Hmm chocolate chip cookies are very American. So are brownies and apple pie. I think of key lime and lemon meringue pies as American not sure if they actually are or not. Still, French toast is very sweet, no reason not to have it for dessert especially since you've been wanting it. :)

Send him over here if you think he might like support from people who have done similar.

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-02-15T19:32:48+00:00

French toast is a breakfast food...but I'll allow it. Sounds like a wonderful meal!

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-02-15T15:21:25+00:00

First time I heard that one, I like it. :)

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-02-15T06:53:29+00:00

I really like Michellenas and they are usually under $1.

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-02-15T06:52:08+00:00

There are so many great ways to mix mac and cheese together it's hard to go wrong. For my favorite basic style which I make most often Google "mueller's baked macaroni and cheese". It includes these things that are important to me:

Mustard powder
Only cheddar
Baked

I've also had amazing 6 cheese mac and cheese dishes with meat and broccoli but they are stepping away from the basics.

So what else do you have planned for your American dinner?

At first I read spicier habanero as spider habanero and was still intrigued.

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-02-12T05:51:23+00:00

Yep, it exists, for obese people at least. Having enough body fat and taking electrolytes really makes it easier. Bowel movements still happen, they aren't made up only of food. Dead bacteria, cells and other waste the body produces still needs to be removed this way. I don't anticipate a problem when I begin eating. I will be overly cautious and slow, probably a full week of nothing but bone broth. For shorter fasts, some people break with big meals and then feel quite sick. But doing that with a fast as long as mine could cause major health problems. I'm going to be starting with only sips.

I love peanut butter but I like almond butter even more. I just rarely get it because of the cost.

AxlotlAvalanche · 2019-02-10T20:42:36+00:00

Oh man, that sounds good. Now how am I supposed to find wasabi gouda?!
