So, so, so, so thrilled for you... and PROUD of you, deb! Woohoo! I love hearing that the (healthy) carb spike worked for you... would love to hear more! Whatever you are doing... just keep doing it. And bottom line.... you feel FANTASTIC! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! :) 

Your effort has PAID OFF!!! Super exciting news!!! 

Such a joy to hear. I'm sure happy for you! Keep up the good work for your health.  

Hey great job there, Debra! That is a great loss, and I'm sure it is nice to be that much lighter on your feet. It makes a difference.  

Oooohhh!! You are doing amazing! Your right about the rebound but since you are expecting it, it won't throw you. Glad you are feeling so good...green is my favorite color...can't wait for my own to show up :)  

Lady, you are Superwoman with that kind of weight loss. Great work. you are my hero! 

Great job, Debra. I've no idea how you stuck to such a long fast! 

Fantastic! 

That's the Same amount I lost when I broke my 4 day. Damn nice work hun. Damn nice work. Proud of you. And as long as you don't go crazy with the food, you WONT regain. 

Should I kneel or bow when approaching you, Your Highness? Amazing. 👏 👏 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 

Your testimony is inspiring. I have been binge watching Dr. Jason Fung all day. Thank you. 

LOLOLOL! @Sarah...kneeling is good! ROTFLMAO!! Seriously, thanks you guys this repeating circle of encouragement, inspiration, ideas, tips and humor is such a blessing......As I receive this award I would like to thank......all of you little people :P. I love you I do, and I'm eating right now and it's so good, who knew 4 days without eating would make everything taste brand new! 

Doobrie, after the first 48, it was extremely easy and I could have kept going...but my high wore off....now I have the post meal slump, now to let it digest, proper like! 

ok, the food, I had 14 brazil nuts hit my tummy first, to make sure there was a landing pad for the rest of the food. I did not want to hit with a lot of roughage, so I chose not to have a salad, instead I had made brown rice last night and refrigerated it, stirred in some pre-cooked chicken and chicken livers in broth, felt like I needed the extra bit of protein, and an avocado and two ounces of cheese, had a BP coffee to wash it down. Now my body is telling me that it is comfortably full. I am 16% over my RDI, which is about 230 more calories than I normally eat, my macros are 140 in fat, 30 in carbs and 74 in protein. That's about 20g more fat than normal, 10g more carbs and 14g more protein.....not bad at all. I really thought I would pig out, but no.....I do confess to bolting it like someone was going to take it away from me, but I always do that! LOL! 

Considering the fact that I was in a 5600 calorie deficit from not eating for 4 days, intaking 1694 calories is no big deal. As Dr. Fung said, it is impossible to eat enough in one meal to even make a dent in your deficit. Good to know! 

Exactly, Debra! He also says fast then feast. Love Dr. Fung! Great job! 

Ouch, let me edit that, I was supposed to add my deficit by using my BMR which would leave me at a 11,756 calorie deficit.....my god, if I was calculating my actual activities instead of just my basic standing, sitting, resting, sleeping I would be minus even more....all I can say is wow.  

You know, I have never checked the math from my monthly totals page, right now we are halfway through the month, so for 15 days I have intake equaling 13,913, my exercise...which I calculate at my minimums only 44,342 leaves a caloric deficit of 30,429 which divided by 3500 (one pound of fat) equals 8.69 pounds that I should have lost this month...I have lost a total of 9 lbs since June 1. Amazing! 

FANTASTIC job, way to go! 

Great work!
