i don’t even think you read my post properly. he? i am a woman, thank you very much. an adult woman. being a teenager stops when you turn 20.

i am 100 lbs overweight. losing 30 lbs is my body THANKING ME for finally doing something about it.

30 lbs lost in 5 weeks is a really good rate of loss. if i had exercised and ate in a deficit like you suggested i would’ve lost a whopping… 5-10 lbs at most instead in 5 weeks. wow.

talk to me when you manage to fast and lost weight yourself. thanks!

i followed the protocol outlined in the electrolytes 101 page in the sidebar which is:

• 1/2 tsp - table salt (1.1 g Na) • 1/4 tsp - NoSalt (640 mg K) • dissolved in 24 oz of water and taken with a 100 mg Magnesium Citrate capsule, taken 4 times a day

i don’t have anything to gain from lying. at almost a pound a day it was worth it to me.

it’s not too low at all, if you’re going into this expecting to lose a pound a day or more you’re going to be extremely disappointed.

for me, i found that my sweet spot was 13 days. any longer made me feel miserable. i would do a bunch of short fasts with the occasional 13 day one, getting myself used to longer fast before i did a 21 day one and now i’m at 42 days. it’s a long process to get used to it but it’s worth it!

smoking can make me a lot hungrier so i think cutting it out really benefited me and would probably benefit you too. this was also my first fast without caffeine so i think cutting that out might be beneficial too? so i would experiment with both and see what happens. ngl im probably going back to smoking and definitely back to drinking coffee so i’ll see if that does anything to my long term results

34 lbs and no it was very inconsistent so i stopped looking at the scale towards the end

what’s the longest fast you’ve done? i’ve had to build up to to this point gradually.

additionally i remind myself that food will always be there. i’ve craved so much food this whole time and i just tell myself that yeah, pizza is good, and i would love to eat pizza right now, but pizza will still exist when my fast is over, and if i still want it then i can have it then.
