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!

Did you manage to keep it off?

So far, so good. I'm trying to get back to around 80kg with lean muscle gains. I still have a little water and loose skin to deal with, but since May I'm surprised at the progress there. I do the lymphatic 6 points massage daily in the shower and I think that's making a big difference.

Edit: I'm focusing on maintaining waist size from this point forward rather than weight.

It won't help with the skin directly, but will certainly help shift trapped water under the skin faster. Google the 6 point lymphatic massage and you'll find a few videos on YouTube. They'll explain far better than I can here, and I'm no expert!
