7 days - No Food

[caveman]

5-2 or 4-3 is good. 7-0 can be risky. Much better to get the weight off slowly, eat less, move more.

Eat less. Move more.

Yep burn off more cals than you consume. I'm just going for an extreme version of that.

Used to do this regularly,but spent the whole week on the piss, eating fuck all, not recommended, fuckin bonkers.Sure you wont be doing that.
But the weight just fell off

Have you had a cholesterol test since your fast Cave-o?

Apparently, from what I've heard, when the body is deprived of food for a prolonged period of time the first 'resource' it eats is body fat and then anything else - one of which might be cholesterol.

I also once heard a report that cholesterol build up in heart veins may be an attempt to cover some type of vascular disease which attacked the vein walls and actually had nothing to do with cholesterol intake. I have no idea whether this proved to be true or not but it's certainkly interesting to compare it to what we are force-fed as proper medical fact.

Everything I have read mentioned the body eating the fat first. Not heard about the cholesterol though. Need to read up on that. Did not have a test.

Day 1 completed

It went OK. Got hungry at the usual meal times but after a tea or coffee it passed. Went for a swim for exercise really enjoyed it. First time swimming in ages

Woke up this morning feeling ok

If you're gymming it and fasting you'll fuck yourself up massively.

Gym
Protein 3 times a day
No carbs
Black tea/coffee
3 litres of water a day

Weight will fall off

Obviously harder than day 1 however got through it OK. Again went for swim first thing which felt good.

Ive started doing 20 hour fasts twice a week not to lose weight but for good health. Im also working out during the week doing press-ups, push-ups, jogging and running.

Ive started doing 20 hour fasts twice a week not to lose weight but for good health. Im also working out during the week doing press-ups, push-ups, jogging, extending my right arm in the air with a straightened hand and running.

Hang on.

A 20-hour “fast” means four hours of eating!

Jon Gaunt is your man to ask about this, cave-o. He lost about 5 stone in a week, apparently.

He's got about another 10 stone to go , so it'll be interesting to see if his new diet business works.

Here's mine if you're about 15 stone overweight like him: this delicious meal here:

Day 3 completed

Very tired. Glad was not working spent a couple of hours a sleep in the afternoon. Flat fine afterwards. Not much hunger pangs

[m4rkb]

Treat yourself to a nosh up on spinach potato and chapatis Cave-o. It's a massive power food.

I'd normally recommend Pie and Chips but this is a diet after all so there won't be any mention of any crates of beer either.

having read this, i might go for the gastric band!
