Terry, I have kind of a knee-jerk reaction when people assume that
because something works for them it will/should work for someone else.
Letting folks know what works for you is great. While your post is
clearly well-meaning, Paula made it clear she has tried fasting and it
was NOT what worked for her nor what she wants to try again. Why can't
you take her at her word rather than assuming what works for you is true
for her as well? Not intending to come across as hostile here, or
critical, just wondering... Joy

Hi Paula,
IMHO all you need to do to learn how to fast is drink only juice and water
for a few days. I always thought I couldn't do it until I tried, and it was
easy. Was only hungry a little the first day. After that it was only that I
missed the enjoyment of eating. Was not hungry and amazingly my energy level
increased almost daily. My 1st was only for 3 days. Now I do 5 or 6 day
fasts once a month. Weight is coming down and I feel great. Again, I have
never been hungry after the 1st day and I drink mostly water. Some juice.
Be Well and Prosper,
Terry

Subject: Re: CS>OT ... Fat burning and "The Master Cleanse"
Hmm,
Maybe the chocolate "fast" would work for me--I've tried the master
cleanse thing a few times and never made it 24 hours yet. The low
blood sugar effects and the stomach pain feeling is just too much for
me--but then I'm almost 60 and have never managed to fast a day in my
life so far on ANY type of fasting plan.

It does seem strange, yet not logically but intuitively it feels
right
to me that you could go into ketosis that way - different mechanism
than
simply lowering the carbs; but still seems right to me. I have a
friend
who lost a lot of weight by going on a chocolate diet to get into
ketosis. She loved chocolate, couldn't do without it, so she ate
nithing but chocolate - tons of it, for ten days at a time, then did
a
week of as sensible, balanced, but calorie limited eating as she
could,
then went back on ten days of the chocolate. She did go into
ketosis.
It wasn't that healthy a diet, but it was what she could do. Today
she
could do atkins using sugar free chocolate, but this was years ago
before there was such a thing. Doesn't make logical sense, but it
worked.
