Fat Fasting Starts…

Food Journal 8 December 2014

Today begins the Fat Fast.

Back in the late 90s when learning about low carb through Atkins I came across the Fat Fast as a way to jolt the stalled weight loss or plateau, but did not take too much notice of it then. Today I know a lot more about fats and am more than willing to try it out in earnest for three days. You can also do it for 5 if you wish. I am settling for three days.

The only real rule in the Fat Fast is to keep your calories low – Atkins suggested 1000 calories – but I am doing half of my normal low carb calories as I eat calories according to my weight at present, minus 1 000. That’s my take on it. If you need clarity on how many micro nutrients are in foods, sign up with SparkPeople and use their nutrition tracker. That is where I go to and it works very nicely.

I am gathering ideas on foods to eat – and here are a few with which to start:

Egg yolks hard boiled with mayo

Sour cream with cucumber slices

Cream cheese and nut butter on celery

Bacon and egg yolks

High fat cheeses such as Philadelphia and Boursin

4 slices of bacon

Cream cheese on top of a slice of salami

2 Eggs yolks beaten and stirred into chicken broth

Bone broth with marrow

Tuna and mayo

Spoonful of coconut oil

Coffee with cream and coconut oil (Bulletproof coffee)

Today I have had bacon, eggs, creamy coffee, spoonful of coconut oil, and Philadelphia cream cheese. I will probably have tuna and mayo for a snack and a cream chocolate mousse for supper. (Whipping cream with stevia and unsweetened cacao powder, really good.) All this adds up to a superb appetite suppressant! there is only one way for you to find out how it works, just do it! I will be back tomorrow to report on my progress. Have a happy day!

Getting it on with The Revolution!…
