Day 5 of a planned 5 days of ‘no solid food’ fasting
I have been just going through the motions on my “diet” this week, but, had another “best weight loss week”. Other than when I was ‘water fasting’, I have never lost weight this fast. Even though I haven’t 🏃🏾♂️ run in nearly 2 weeks, and only been to the gym 2 days in the past two weeks, I have lost 7 pounds in 4 days.
I think the reason may be the 🏋🏾♂️ heavy weight lifting I did, during the weekend, when I was eating ‘solid food’ and consuming about 200 carbs a day. The carbs are what allow me to ‘lift heavy’ (my squats and deadlifts average 220 pounds).
While the weight loss is good, the numbers show that carbs are not good for me when I am trying to lose net weight. Eventually I would like to get down to 160 pounds. While my body looks a lot better from all the weight lifting, I still have a layer of fat that still needs to go. Last week I was 167 pounds, this week I am 168 pounds, so my net weight is slowly climbing.
However, this weekend I will have a 3-day weekend, so I expect to gain even more than I did last weekend. I will then do a 4 day, not a 5 day 'no solid food fast'. So I do not expect any net loss 👎🏾🤦🏾♂️.
I could “dig in deeper” and fast on the weekends, but, I have been doing this a year and learned that it takes a huge mental toll when I push myself too hard. So, I have to do my best and accept what happens and, most importantly, be grateful and happy.
😎 Life is Good! Have a great day everyone!
