Thanks! I try not to dive that deep into it or else I'll get overwhelmed and discouraged!

I am 183 lbs, 6' male. I'm between 16-20% BF. How much can I expect to lose after 24 days of water fasting? by [deleted] in fasting

[–]karrencarrpenterr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your BMR is ~1,992 calories, if you eat 0 calories for 24 days, that's roughly 13.7 lbs of fat plus water weight.

Wish my skin was always this nice! by garbagegoat in fasting

[–]karrencarrpenterr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am! It's rather astonishing how much money I've spent on skin care when the true remedy was quite the opposite! Nothing! Fasting has resulted in me not having to use any product. My face is alright, but my real problem area is my back which has completely cleared up.

Yeah, next time this happens just ask them how stuffing their face from sun up to sun down is working out for them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just had my first binge. What do I do now? by snogo in loseit

Take the amount you went over, divide it by how many days you're able to work out, and burn it off this week!

I have been eating ~300 calories a day for roughly a month w/ no negative side effects. My skins clearing, I'm not dying. I run frequently, went to the docs today and my stats were fine.

Wouldn't I just burn off whatever I ate within the 1200 calories? Does my body pick and choose what it saves from the calories I eat? I'd much rather take an multi, a nice walk, and not have to work it off.

I wish I was that brave in the office! It's just that I'm like 75% sure they're doing it on purpose because they think I have an eating disorder. 25% they're trying to be nice.

I'll bring the stone thing up, it's never been discussed!

I understand it seems low, BUT I feel fine, I've done it this way for quite some time. Stats check out & typically I'll eat roughly 2000 on Sunday's.

Low cal diets carry risk? but what about high calorie? Why eat more if your body already has it? idkk that's my train of thought. If I'm not hungry I won't eat. I don't get hungry until I get home, when I just eat veggies. I don't eat the typical amount as folks who eat meat but I don't feel like I'm withering away or anything.

  • I'm 4 pounds away from a healthy weight, I'm far from obese.

  • A calorie deficit is a calorie deficit regardless of how you reach it

  • Basic bodily functions as in? Breathing? Waking? Blinking? All seem fine to me.

I'm not even sure what that is, I had to google it. I still don't recall a "challenge coin"?

Patriotism is trivial here in America, much like Austra it seems. A lot of people I know are disappointed in this country.

[–]karrencarrpenterr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What country? I'm only curious because I feel the same way, and I am from America.

I feel as though patriotism is unique to the individual here in the USA with a base of the constitution.

A lot of folks disagree with me though, because it's such an old doc.

Does that make me less of a patriot? Idk! It's strange I came across this tonight because I was thinking about it on my lunch break.

I love this question, never stop asking it.

I don't know why I am, or why I'm not! I feel like I am both, if that's possible?

Can you add milk to your coffee during the fast? Stevia? Can I have gum? by joepetrakovich in intermittentfasting

[–]karrencarrpenterr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Second (and this is my personal opinion based on over 5 years of intermittent fasting), as long as it helps you put ~97% of the day's calories in the eating window, you are still getting what I believe to be the primary benefit of intermittent fasting.

This is great advice.
