It has been two weeks since I ended my just juice fast. Breaking the fast was hard. The first day I mainly ate strawberries. The second day we took Kloe out for her birthday and I managed a few bites of a salad. It was the fourth eating day before I felt like I was ready to resume normal eating.
This time I decided to make a concerted effort not to gain back the weight I lost while fasting. I really feel like 103-107 is my ideal weight. I have been successful at staying within this range using the 5:2 intermittent fasting method. Two days a week I fast for 20-24 hours... dinner to dinner. The goal is 24 hours but anything past 20 and I call it a good fast day. On my two fast days (or down days is a more accurate description) I end up eating 500-750 calories. On my five up days I average between 1200-1500.
One week post fast I weighed in: 106.6
Two week post fast I weighed in: 106.6
I think I've found my balance in order to maintain at this weight. Now my goal is to gain muscle and reduce body fat percentage. I am also working on reducing the percentage of my food that comes from carbs. For a carbaholic this is no easy task, but I've made some progress.
