Dry OMAD + 48-72 hour Dry Fasts

Hey everyone! I started this routine as my diet portion of the 75 Hard Challenge (which I modified to fit my dry fasting). It’s the end of the first week so I figured I’d start a post and then update as I go. MY ROUTINE: - M-F: dry omad - Friday after dinner to Sunday or Monday before dinner (depending on if I feel like I need to hydrate before jumping back into the dry omads): soft dry fast. - working out daily for 45 minutes total. Workouts will be Pilates, yoga, standing modified hiit, and treadmill at an incline. Light stuff overall from YouTube videos. I want to focus on building lean muscle, gaining flexibility, and not passing out. Some short weight training sessions probably sprinkled in as desired. BEGINNING STATS | 28 Female 5’6 Weight: 251.8 lbs Body Fat: ~ 47.5% (navy measurement system) Neck: 14 10/16 Chest: 43 1/4 Hips: 52 1/2 Waist: 35 Lower Stomach: 42 2/16 Thighs (average): 29 3/4 Calves (average): 17 1/2 JOURNAL Week One: surprisingly easy except after 24 hours I had burning pee (like uti) every time I used the bathroom except the morning. Did dry omad M-F, fully dry Saturday, ate dinner Sunday at 48 hours and lots of water + sugar free aloe water. Foods were carby and I didn’t lose as much as I wanted so I’ll be better with that and with hydrating before the weekend next week. Sunday AM weight: 244.1 | Monday AM Weight (after refers): 244.8 Week Two: still pretty easy. I think I’ll up the fasting time throughout the week for this upcoming week. Period started on Wednesday and the bloat came with it. 😫 Trying to stay positive and realize that the scale probably didn’t go down as much because of the bloating/water weight. Stayed much more low carb this week with the exception of Sunday night when I broke the weekend fast. Down 5 inches over my whole body so far - also not as many as I would have thought, but I’m jiggly everywhere so hoping for a whoosh after my period ends. I’ll post progress pics and full measurements every four weeks. Sunday AM Weight: 241.1 | Monday AM Weight: 242.4 Week Three: Not much of an update as I completely went off routine after waking up on Monday lightheaded, dizzy, shivering cold, and throwing up. Figured it was dehydration and drank a ton of fluids that day and then ate omad later. Then Tues-Sat I ate regularly, convincing myself that it was "too risky" to start dry fasting again. It's now Tuesday of the following week and I'm back to it. Spent the last few days taking electrolytes and hydrating and now I think I'll switch my routine to rolling dry fasts, going as long as I can and then rehydrating in between for at least 1/2 the days that I fasted. Will have max one meal during refeeds. Since this is a new routine I'll make new posts as I finish each fast + refeed but will leave this up in case anyone is searching later. Thanks for those who followed along.In case anyone's wondering, I weighed in at 246 this morning so put back on around 5 pounds since last week. All measurements went up 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
