fasting and weight loss
I neglected to write this post in the moment while fasting and I regret that, thus this post.
on July 4th weekend, from the 2nd to the 4th, I fasted for approximately 3 days and dropped about 7.2 lbs (from 276 to 268.8). that was barely a week and a half ago, but my metabolism in general seems to be speeding up, I'm around 270-273 these days, a far cry from my all-time high of 281. my weight shot up to 275 afterward but seems to be evening out around 271ish.
this was the longest I've done a fast since 2009 I think, and this was only done because I was lacking in energy generally and my weight was skyrocketing while yo-yoing all over the place.
another thing-I was just thinking today of a book I'm reading, The Fast Diet by Michael Mosley,
and it speaks of research detailing that people who dieted every day for 3 months lost 8-10 less lbs than those who ate regularly 5 days a week and cut their calories down to 500-600 on the weekends. its really interesting stuff, basically proving the assertion that our bodies are built on sort of a feast/famine cycle [which I already knew, but forgot].
as it were I'll be taking a 10 day trip to Texas to conduct a longer fast, so I'm looking forward to that. it'll be my first time out of SC in some months, and I'm looking forward.
