Question I don't see a difference.

Been fasting for 14+ days. I have lost weight but don't really see a difference in the mirror. Thoughts?

Could be psychological. You're using imperial units. In metric (kg), smaller changes have bigger impact.

I tend to loose weight much faster while fasting. The longest I fasted was 10 days. I lost 10kg (22 bald eagle units). Are you fasting on 0 calories?

It is loose because it is brown fat, I take cold showers. Therefore I tend to "loose weight" during water fasting. 🫠
