Eating Once a Week

I started again last August. My fasting time is 45 hours. Before I started this, I went first in a 7 day fast, broke my fast, and continued it with 45 hour. I'm eating keto friendly foods only during my feasting time. I first started fasting way back 2017. I stopped, gained all my weight back, and now I want to continue again. Extended fasting is not an issue for me. However, once I started to eat carbs, I just can't stop. Today is my schedule to eat but unfortunately, I'm outside for work (I'm usually WFH so I cook for myself). I ate in a fastfood and I ate rice and drank coke. After that, I ordered a frappe and 2 doughnuts. I felt so guilty after that. Anyway, I'm fasting to lose weight. Is it possible if I'll eat only once a week but during my feasting time, I can eat whatever I want?

Answer

It’s still a numbers game, but it’s hard to out-eat your fasting if you’re only eating once a week. Beyond that, I’d say make sure you mix in something healthy to get a good dose of micros during feed and just avoid anything that will cause you to not stick to the routine.

Answer

Tbh you seem like a bad candidate for fasting, especially like that. You need to address the underlying issues of addiction, to sugar/carbs, and really get at the why behind it. For me, and most, we tend to “eat our feelings,” to use food for its dopamine inducing qualities.

Answer

If you eat one meal a week and it’s full of junk food, honestly you’d probably just feel like garbage. On the other hand, when you fast you crave healthy foods that are actually substantial so if you go in to it trying to improve your diet that may work. Maybe try OMAD and slowly cut the carsb out?
