Agrees with Lizzygracemusic!!!!!!  

Interesting concept, but pure butter? No appeal! 

I did the same a few years ago & lost 6-7 pounds in 7 days, it works & you're right very doable and never really hungry. I totally forgot about that until I read your journal... thanks for reminding me.Congrats on your weight loss & have fun on your vacation ! 

go girl!!! you do what is right for you and YOUR dr. not some self appointed expert who goes on and on and annoys others 

excuse me ; some self appointed expert want to be 

I don't hear the LCHF/keto people generally saying that the dietary fat directly causes the weight loss. I see them repeatedly maintaining that the satiety that they get from their diets allows them to reduce their carbs and calories without bingeing and thus to lose weight by burning stored body fat. Maybe it works due to the insulin production/restriction effect, a placebo effect, both, or something else. It really doesn't matter what the mechanism is at that point, if it is working for the individual--especially if this is the only WOE that has been effective for him or her. Doctors are very clear about the fact that even modest weight loss has significant health benefits for overweight people. A diet that may not be ideal in some respects may nevertheless be preferred when it helps people reach an important goal that would otherwise likely not have been achieved by them, as has been established by their prior unsuccessful efforts to lose the weight with other plans. It didn't work for me, but if it works for them, that's fantastic. Erika, congrats on losing almost 75 pounds!!!!!!!!!  

dear Ghost writer......you are coming off as quite a know it all.....and with less than 15 pounds to lose to boot.!!!!!.......and you've been on FS for 6 months!!!!!!! I'm very surprised you are still trying to lose.......hmmm 15 pounds in 6 months......not trying too hard are ya!!!!!! 

he going after erika now as phil and monk where annoyed to the point of leaving fs by him . i hear that he has been kicked off fs a number of times but keeps coming back under new names to argue and pontificate. not to be nice and supportive. just a pia jerk 

wish there was a way for individuals where able to block him 

ps, think i may try your fat fast , googled it , looks interesting!! 

Oliver AT IT AGAIN!!! Filling other peoples journals with his thoughts. 1 more day and you guys can suffer the prick alone.  

I told ya, Sunday and Im gone. If anyone wants to keep in touch, send me your email in a private msg before midnight tomorrow. Phil i believe has already left. So good luck getting ahold of him. I already have been talking to some big names on youtube about my own Video series. Im done here. 

Ghostwritor I thought we were to help each other! How are you rantings helping anyone. Certainly won't help Erikahollister. Hope what I'm reading in her post doesn't mean she's leaving fatsecret, because losing 75lbs isn't anything to sneeze at. Erika hope you do as with the last 50lbs. :o ) 

I'm angry at you; your ranting isn't helping anyone. Obviously you haven't most of my comment which praise member for how well their doing. Ranting is when someone has anything good to say and keeps repeating hurtful statement. Can you say anything constructive; I'd like to see that. I'm off my soap box; not saying any more to you. 

Good for you Erika.!As long as you are healthy and happy! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Did you hit your birthday target goal? You sound like you have made tremendous progress (so inspiring!) and so much self discipline to complete a 6 day fast. Whoa - you rock! Bullet proof coffee (butter/coconut oil) does the trick to satisfy my appetite too. May all your wishes continue to come true!
