I've tried fasting and everytime I end up bigger than before. Now I've actually cut down on calories and cut out sugar altogether and I'm losing up to 3Kg (6.6lbs) per week. The secret to weight loss is to feed your body. Just don't feed it sugar or fat and you'll be ok.
And if you continue with the fast, all the best. I'd be curious to know how much weight you managed to lose over the whole period and whether it was easy to keep it off.

I am wondering, if I am intaking nothing but water, what is my body storing into my fat cells?
I have easily lost 10lbs if not more. I unfortunately don't have a scale.
I have been craving healthy, whole foods and am excited to eat again. I have decided to start breaking the fast on the 28th day, to keep it a nice even 4 weeks.
The detoxification of my closet has resulted in enough money generated from ebay sales to purchase a Vitamix, which will segue perfectly into my February 30 day vegan trial. I also picked up a copy of the
Veganomicon to go with it.
I am excited to eat again, and I feel rather great. I like the fact I am not tied to food in any way and believe it will carry over. I can say no whenever I like. People who were criticizing me at the start are now commending me on my tremendous amount of "willpower". Which is great to hear, but it really isn't tough after the first week. I believe the fast has reinforced my positive outlook as well.
All in all I am feeling great as I head into the home stretch. The idea that I have not eaten anything in almost 3 weeks is kind of surreal.
A few anomalies in the past few days. 2 times my pee was quite yellow. Not sure why. Yesterday the last two toes on my right foot went numb for 3 minutes or so, and my left eye is bloodshot tonight. I am not sure how connected this is.
