I thought fasting caused your metabolism to slow to a crawl as your body thinks it's starving?!

That is tue. My fast includes a shake three times a day that has all the nutrients without the calories and jump starts the continued diet process. As of this morning I have lost 2.4 lbs..!!!!!!!:lolabove:

Thanks :love:. The numbers on the scale keep creeping up, even with the workouts (and I am taking into consideration that muscle is heavier than fat). I have to do something now or I will be miserable for the holidays.

When you get old you have to take drastic measures, or at leat I do. Nothing else is working for me. So here I am about 8 hours into this and still holding steady. Crazy K has offered the bf refuge incase I get cranky. We don't want me cranky......:shock:
Do yourself a favor and throw away the scales. You measure your success by how your pants fit. Muscle does weigh more than fat and anyone building muscles will actually gain weight as the fat converts to muscles, but your pants will fit better.

Fasting can be good for many reasons, but weight loss isn't one. Your metabolism slows greatly when you fast, and if you are trying a px90 workout, you WILL indeed be starving. Your body needs food to build healthy muscles.

SJ...the fast is an XP90 thing for 2 days only. No workouts etc until the fast is over. My thyroid and age issues made it impossible to get a pound off and I got so discouraged, especially since I have been doing workouts with at leat 30 minutes of cardio about 4 x a week for 4 months.

The fast formula actually purges impurites and jump starts the metabolism. So far it has been fairly easy and I feel great!!!!
