Fasting Encouragement

Sorry, I can't encourage that - eat lots of small good meals and drink more water instead of starving yourself.

Good luck - hopefully you get good advice from the program. Like if you get dizzy and fall down, fall on something soft. If you have a massive headache, eat a small pig....


If you want serious help and guidance to fast safely, go to For Thea Health Of It, or Raw & Juicy for Jen's Juice fast (although I think she is closed for a week or so).

Thanks Kurt. I like the small pig idea.:clap:

You don't need to fast, keep up the work outs, you look great. Besides isn't xmas dinner gonna completely wipe out any results?

Thanks :wub:. 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:

Haha....you know me well....:roll:

Actually, it is going fairly well. I did eat a small apple at 7:30 then some tomato soup abot 9:00. I think it will hold me over until the morning. I am proud of myself....:clap:

Keep drinking water, it'll give you a false sense of being full for about 2 minutes.

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:

Just trying to be realistic. Don't want you to have an egg white omelet in the morning and think you've instantly put it all back on.

I lost 5 pounds!!! Egg white omelet here I come!!!!!! Then shopping with Crazy K, anyone want to join us??

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.

Fat doesn't convert to muscle or vice versa.

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!!!!

Sorry, didn't know we were in a technical discussion on the body. Should I bore people and explain the details of fat, calories, muscles?

seagrovegirl, are they promoting the fasting as a way to jump start metabolism? That sounds so backwards from everything I've read. Everything I've learned about diet, including my own experience with fasting, indicates fasting will decrease ones stomach size and decrease appetite to some degree, but it slows metabolism.

Now the px90 does sound like it will boost metabolism greatly, but it will also make you eat anything that looks like food.

Yes, it does claim it will jump start your metabolism.

That badly photoshopped model sure convinced me! :roll:

Whew I avoided that whirlwind of crazy. How did it go when the smell wafted over from the Red Robin vent hood?
