Fat Fasting

I'm fat fasting today (day 1) and its been SIX hours and nooooo hunger... I better get me some macadamia nuts, they're perfect for such a time as this.... But oh, so expensive.

Do any of you fat-fast regularly?

What is fat-fasting?

  • Author

It's when your diet consist of 90% good fats. Ideally, you should stay within 1,000 calories a day. It's a way to get our bodies into quick ketosis, which is a natural hunger suppressant AND weigh loss method. It's only recommended a few days at a time. I plan on fat-fasting for no more than 3 days.

You know oddly I have never heard of this before but there have been a few days when I think I just did that on my own for some reason. I was having a very lazy day and just didn't want to prepare anything so I was having nuts most of the day, and some cheese.

I was thinking oh no I am going to gain weight..and I lost weight! Crazy...but maybe that was why?!

Huh....never heard of this before. I've heard of ketosis while I was doing Atkins years ago. Very Interesting.

Considering that what I made this morning was a SOUP, I'm really shocked I went so long without being hungry. I felt hungry about an hour ago... I am now making more if that broccoli soup.

What kind of nuts?

I just thought I should come on here and say that I've been working all day no stop. Energy out of the wazoo. LoL

I have never heard of fat fasting but it sounds interesting. I am low carbing and I am in ketosis but I am starving!! Last time I was in ketosis I actually forgot to eat. IDK whats wrong. I had to end up getting another cc in my band yesterday because of hunger pangs... I'm STILL hungry!!! and NOT just head hunger...stomach growling hunger. So frustrating! Sometimes I just wish I had the sleeve!!
