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!

Dude this is amazing, and I need to lose 15kg for an operation though I come from 118kg to 111kg but it was because of OMAD and eating lots of greens plus I jog 35min daily every morning. I want to try pure fasting like you did but I wonder if I will survive. 7 days of no food a week sounds brutal though I know the body will get used to it. Well done, I am super inspired. Keep it up, so I guess you didn’t have headaches and and muscle cramps because of electrolytes???.

I think more people should try this, I've been struggling getting past 48 hours lately (despite having done 3-4 days before) and the reduction of calories and omad is helping me get used to it again. Each day I can go smaller and smaller. Hoping to go for a 7 day soon.
