Life Water fasting + keto diet thread... - Page 8

**Rausch** · 07-28-2017, 10:03 AM

I did a water fast for 10 days and lost 18 lbs.

(Note: I consulted my doctor and took vitamin/minearal and fiber supplements the whole time. )

I quit my fast last saturday and have been abiding the keto diet since then.

I had a full blood panel done before the fast/diet and will do another next week.

I wanted to do a 14 day fast but my body had absolutely no energy and quit by day 10 and a 1/2. After that started the slow transition back to eating.

As of today I've gained 2 lbs back which is not worth mentioning. Daily weight varies as much as 4 lbs and it's possible any added exercise will add muscle weight as well.

Just curious if anyone else has fasted and/or used this in conjunction with the keto diet...

I opted for a 10 day fasting meth cycling program while doing HIT. Worked for our ancestors.

Tried keto for a few months last year and really liked it... counted calories and took about a 500 calorie deficit/day and stayed around 50 carbs/day, not counting fiber. No cravings and I worked out 5-6 days/week mostly to not lose any muscle, and didn't have any issues with energy level. As it seems like 95% of my body fat is in my gut, the goal was to lose ~10 pounds and I lost about 15, which is exactly what some online keto calculator told me.

I moved onto staying away from obviously unneeded carbs or stuff that's nothing more than filler to me... such as not eating Cliff bars for breakfast or pasta/rice (outside of the occasional restaurant visit).

Fasting and the whole "flushing toxins" just seems like total bullshit, but I've never cared enough to see if there's any real evidence that any of it works (and I've never seen any evidence presented by those who think it works).

I am 6’3, and my weight stays between 210-215. I install and refinish wood floors, so I am in fairly good shape except for my proud gut. In fact, some very in shape people have tried to work for me, but can’t maintain.

Anyway, I have tried Keto to lose the gut. Zero energy, bad moods (I am a normally happy guy), a lot more sleep, and my usually raging libido has disappeared. Blood sugar has gone from mid/upper 90s to 105, but now it’s always above 120.

What the ****?

It's a band-aid at best. Meta-analyses of low-carb diets show that the effect on A1C lowering is transient and disappears after one year compared to a higher carbohydrate diet, in part due to issues with adherence. Low and high carb diets of the same calorie level ended up with patients having the same BMI, waist circumference, and LDL levels.

I think you're using them wrong

I pretty much stay around 50-100 carbs a day for the last year and a half. Some days we might eat out and I go way overboard. My weight has stayed around 175 for that time. I usually run 3-4 days a week 3-5 miles at a time.

I did go to France last week and ate carbs all day. I must have shit 2-3 times a day. My body was not use to all those carbs and I gained four pounds.

Thanks Hamas, I have done high protein, count calories and fat diet without worrying about counting carbs in the past. It works great for me.

My better half decided to do low carb, and I decided to support her by doing it, too.

There is a vast energy requirement difference between 1 hour a day workout warriors and me.

I don’t see how anyone that isn’t a desk jockey survives Keto.

Calories consumed, no matter what carb level, controls weight long term.
