First day off the water fast. I'm down to 280, which is 26 pounds down from where I started in January. I'm losing about 2 pounds a week, 8 pounds of month. That's about perfect. We're starting our eating days with 1.5 cups of chicken stock, salt, pepper, a little red pepper, a tilapia filet each, about 1 tbsp of shredded carrot, some mushrooms and dried onion. It makes a delicious soup and seems to work as a way to wake up our digestive systems. Things seem to be working well, so we'll keep on this plan for a while. Starting from a keto diet (or low carb) simply not eating for three days isn't really any kind of stress.And, it's working. : )

gaining 1.2 lb a week

Start our broth soup for lunch today. That will give us 3.5 days on, and 3.5 days off eating. There are two more fasting sessions in March - so, we'll see.
But, this is a much more manageable system. Also, we've moved our fasting days to Thuesday-Thursday, starting broth on Friday, which allows us to interact with friends over the weekend.
Yesterday a friend brought chocolate bread pudding with caramel sauce to the Sit & Stitch!! Canned whip cream and canned Reeses Whip Cream. Oh!! I asked her if we could take some with us for tomorrow (Friday). Of course, she said. But, we'd need to refrigerate the jar of caramel sauce. Ok, I responded, so it has cream in it? Yes, cream, 2 cups of sugar and I don't remember after that. I decided I'd just rather not have anything that had that much sugar in it. The bread pudding would have been bad enough with all the bread, but I can't even imagine how much sugar was in the pudding as well.
So, I left all of it and decided that I had to have bread pudding, I'd make my own recipe with real ingredients and stevia, monkfruit or erythritol. Honestly, I was surprised how easy it was to decide not to go with standard American food. I have adapted better than I ever imagined.
I spent years on the low-carb Atkins diet when I was young, but I was always moving on and off it - mostly staying low-carb, but missing the yummies over holidays and other special occasions. Now, with all the alternatives available, almond flour, good sweeteners, Costco nuts, even pork rinds for crunchy salt, this is just our way of eating.
Fasting has added the final dimension. Even with good nutrition, keto foods, low-carb strategies, and excellent calorie control - I just did not lose any weight.
Intermittent fasting or long-term fasting has solved many of my issues - weight control, but also the aches & pains and inflammation.

Three-day fasts don't drop the weight as fast, but you also don't regain as much on the off-fast days.
Hopefully, this is a long term solution - I've got just over 100 pounds to go.
On a related topic, I only spend half of my grocery budget, so I'm picking up some kitchen related supplies I hadn't had the budget for. : )
