Good luck! Looks like a solid plan. Come join our chat room. It really helps to talk with like minded people while fasting, atleast in my experience. https://join.slack.com/t/waterfast/shared_invite/enQtMzkyMTI5OTExMzUxLTFmYjYzM2ZhYjZmNDY2NWUwNzZjYTcwN2E5MDBkMWI5ODIzZmNhODA0MzAxZjYxODc2ZjRkNWVlNDI2MGUwNDE
What did you do to maintain the weight loss? How much did you weight go up when you started eating again? food, water weight etc. And how did you break your fast?
dude…we are exactly the same age/height/weight/BF%.
Good luck man. I’m shooting for 165lbs as my ideal triathlon weight. I look really fit and muscular right now, but I’m carrying around a bit too much fat. Def. more of a weight lifter look, and I’d rather be a lot more lean. I’m on a two week vacation, so trying to kick start some better habits with a fast. Currently, finishing up day two. I added in some exogenous ketones (which have MCT powder) I had lying around, some pickle juice (yeah…also ate 1/2 a pickle), cold brew coffee, Sport Tea, and Ultima electrolytes, so technically not a full water fast.
I’ve been keto off and on for years. Ran OMAD throughout. Busted out a couple 3 day fasts. Might try and go for 5 days, depending on how I feel.
I really have to reboot my relationship with food (I will hit a rut and binge on garbage and just doing what is easy) from time to time, and it really helps building that discipline and commitment to be better.
