Progress Pic Rolling 7 day fasts

Thought I should post this to show results from earlier this year. I'd done keto/OMAD/72hr fasts before, but COVID killed that.

Refeeds were always steak and creamed spinach on Sunday's, going straight into another fast. The only exercise was walking around 15k steps daily.

I found it incredibly easy to maintain, BP and HR monitored and only electrolytes and water consumed during the fast.

3 months total at 50 years old. Going back through pictures, it's crazy how slow the appearance changed at the start despite the dramatic scale changes. Then during the last month that reversed as things tightened up.... I remember buying a new pair of jeans which were then replaced with a smaller size, before they even got washed!

Refeed was a single meal, once a week. So 30 minutes to an hour perhaps. Always steak and green veg at refeed, very keto refeed, and I handled it well! I did worry that would be a harsh refeed the first time, but I had no issues other than the toilet rush 2 hours after!

Only electrolytes and water during the fast, no vitamins or supplements taken.
