Day 3 of a planned 6 days of ‘no solid food’ fasting
Blood sugar 103 mg/dL
Yesterday, I did a 5 mile 🏃🏾♂️ run.
7-8 months ago, when I had my biggest weight loss, I would run practically every day. That seems to really help me drop the pounds. For me, the diet starts in the kitchen meaning, I can consume nearly 1,000 calories a day, but must limit the carbs and protein. For the past 7 months I managed to not gain all my weight back, but, I have been bouncing up and down within the same 10 pounds (around 172lbs).
My current plan is to drop my carbs and protein as low as I can, and then run as much as I can. I believe that it puts me in the mode to 🔥 burn actual fat, rather than just gaining and losing the same 🌊 water weight.
The test will be if I can actually get to 164lbs or lower by Saturday. The last time I got that low was 7 months ago.
I plan to give this two weeks. If I can't get down to 164lbs by the following Saturday (I will get a 'weight gain' this weekend when I start eating 'solid food' and then a loss again when I do my normal Monday-Friday 'no solid food' fast), it will be time to 'tweak' my program again...
😎 Life is Good! Have a great day everyone!

adef, back when I was able to run (before knee osteoarthritis), I found 2 miles a day was enough. My male runner friends said the same. Running 5 miles or more every day may over-stress you and be self-defeating.

@gz9gjg - So far it is working for me. On the weekends I run 7 miles a day :) A 7 mile run can -force- my body to burn 600-800 calories at a time when my metabolism wants to 'slow down' because I have intentionally depleted my glycogen levels. This -forces- my body to convert fat to glucose so that the glycogen levels can be restored. So, YES this does place a 'stress' on the body. However, so does weight lifting :)

Just stop if it does not feel right. Those over running injuries are annoying and can take months to recover from

...Today is one of those days, where, if I were eating 'solid food' I would have eaten 5 bags of potato chips 😒 I am allowing myself to 'drink as much protein shakes as I want" but, even that wont 'satisfy my current mood'. So I am going to drink 5 cups of hot green tea and then take a long walk when I get home after work... This-will-pass, but, times like this are when I would 'binge' and that is how I stayed fat!

I have to disagree on running working the calves. Maybe it taxes them and gives them endurance but I was running 8-12 miles a day from spring to fall last year and if anything they got smaller. Cardio tends to do that. It causes atrophy.

Adef I hope you get the results you're looking for! I was wondering if you like broth?? I have a broth that is granular in form and is generally used in ramen type dishes that I love that really seems to "scratch that itch", it's called dashi. It seems to make me feel full and satisfied. It's pretty harmless, I think...0 fat, ,<1 carb per serving, and 1 protein. It only has 5 calories though so if you were looking for something with lots...this ain't it. But I like it and like I said it really seems to satisfy me.
Also...the guys with the BIG calves are the bicyclists!! Those calves are HUGE!!

@chrisw77 - Yes I do use the POSE running method. That is probably why I can run so much :)

@katies71 - When I was water fasting more I would have homemade broth. I switched to protein shakes because I can add 150 calories of heavy cream :) Having only 'broth' day after day would take a lot of 'mental effort' for me. However, slamming down 260 calorie protein drinks is much easier, and I have been able to do it 'long term'

What is "POSE" running? I am a midfoot striker, with very high arches and need curved last shoes.

Thanks - never heard of it before.

@gz9gjg - POSE, the way I do it, is leaning forward and barely picking up your feet. It prevents the 'pounding' on the knees.
