Been fasting-please don't judge :)
Have been water fasting for health reasons rather than weight loss for 30 days. It has helped my health problems- It wasn't done just for weight loss. I'm not advocating fasts- thats down to personal opinion. I can only say that it worked for me on health grounds.
After this fast I will have to do about 2 weeks on veggie soup to get digestion back up and everything working again, which is fine but I'm planning ahead.
I have lost around 30lbs as a consequence (I had terrible water retention due to a health problem, daily migraines also). Fasting is the hardest thing I've ever done...but desperate cicumstances sometimes call for desperate measures....
I have 40lbs more to loose and due to having severe pcos I am very metabolocally resistant. Before the fast no diets have ever caused me to loss more than 3-5lbs no matter how long I stuck to them. I gained weight at weight watchers believe it or not.lol I know I don't do well on sugar or many carbs since then. Found atkins and read the book- seems it may suit me
Health problem is under control and I hope much improved too (time will tell) After a fast, folk advocate living as a vegan/veggie or only on raw food- and quite frankly- I'll do that for the needed two weeks but cant stomach that long term. I was a veggie for 10 years and that when I gained a ton of weight!
My question is- has anyone done a fast/MC or any kind then succesfully switched to atkins without problems or extreme weight gain? I still want to loose 40lbs and find an eating style I can stick with to maintain, and knowing cabs and sugar dont suit me- atkins sounds the biz.
If anyone has any experince, tips for doing so after a fast?
Would I be better to do induction, or the fat fast first as I realize my metabolism will initiall be low after this.
God I cant wait to have a bite of meat again
However, I dont want to rapidly regain the 30lbs I have lost.
Any input- anyone?
Thank You in advance.
