In my last post some time ago in Sept 2011, I told you about my fasting and how I managed to lose about 5-6kgs simply by going on a vegetables and fruits fast. I become so fascinated by this that I have tested a way to do intermittent fasting to lose weight. This is what I believe would happen based on my testing and based on my experiences. Unfortunately I cannot lose too many pounds of fat, as I haven’t got much to lose but you can pick out the important information from my post.

I have heard of other people advocating intermittent fasting to lose weight but I haven’t really tried it out for myself to see if it gets me anywhere or if it’s effective for people to know, until now. For those of you who are in the Weight Loss industry, the idea seems sound in theory, even if it takes more will power and discipline to carry out. But does it really work? I was dead keen on finding so I tried intermittent fasting to lose weight.

Intermittent Fasting to Lose Weight Can Do This to You

In reality, intermittent fasting to lose weight, works very very effectively as long as you stick to the basics. For me, I didn’t go as far as not eating anything because I was worried about my metabolism slowing down and during the times I was fasting – we had a lot going in our lives (both at home and at work), so I stick to eating only fruits, vegetables and some nuts (remember nuts have essential oils but they are full of fat).

For each fasting, which lasted a period of about 6 to 7 days, I lost about 4-5 pounds every time. In between the fasting, I gave myself a maximum of 1 day to eat anything I like, which included meat, fish, ice cream and so forth. Because I don’t want to lose too much weight, I only did the intermittent fasting 3 times. In total, I lost about 12 pounds. That means I must have gained back about 3 pounds in between the fasting and I attribute that to my eating during the time when I came off the fast.

My intermittent fasting to lose weight does seem a little too short to get anything conclusive or concrete out of it, but there are some gems in my findings and no doubt, I will keep experimenting on myself, or find someone else to experiment on, during this year 2012. By the way – all the best for the new year, I will write something about that soon.

This topic ‘does fasting lose weight’ will be researched further over the next few weeks as we go because I have been fascinated by the huge amount of information available out there, on this topic. In theory, the whole reason why fasting does not appear to be a good for losing fat or losing weight is because it reduces your body’s internal metabolism hence causing you to lose less fat.

While there are advantages to fasting including the cleansing of toxins and other unwanted agents (for lack of a better word, maybe I should just use “filth”) from your body, I was particularly interested in fasting as a way of losing weight.

These are my own findings so take it with a grain of salt because every person is different. Need I not remind you that whatever may work for me, may not necessarily work for you. In saying that, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend people to try it themselves, even if it’s just for a few days.

Please note that any fasting including water only fasting, should never be attempted without the advice of your doctor. The question which intrigued me is – does fasting lose weight and if so, how much should we expect to lose?

Before I fasted, I conditioned myself for a few days at a time to live only on fruits and vegetables and some nuts, just to get the feel of it.

The reason is that I wouldn’t want to go straight into water fasting without having tried fruits and veges only fasting as it may not be the best thing to do. I also needed to trick my body to think that everything is still okay, I am still eating food, hence my metabolism should not decrease significantly.

I have been on vegetables and fruits only fasting for about 4 weeks and already I have lost about several at least 5 kilograms, just by changing my diet. If I keep this going for the next few months, I would probably be losing more but I will see.

At the end of my fasting (I have given myself until the end of September 2011), I will share more of my experiences with you. Does fasting lose weight? I’m willing to bet it does but thanks for taking the time to visit. See you soon.
