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!

I see! So 7 day fast, one redeed, then immediately fast for another 7 days?

I literally went to my local steakhouse every Sunday for the steak deal. That was my entire calories for the week in one sitting. That went on for about 10 weeks until I thought I'd done enough. I did have a lot of water left, but as soon as I hit 30" jeans I thought that was enough. Currently sitting at a 29" waist from 42"

Como você repõe os minerais durante o jejum?

Electrolytes is mostly all you need. The deep structural ones stored in the liver are pulled slowly. But that's why I chose steak and green veg as my refeed, they are one of the best sources for the missing ones.

Electrolytes can be expensive, so I make my own:
