The fun thing about fasting is there are no rules! Just the ones we make for ourselves. What you have suggested is fine! It also makes it personal, and a nice goal.
I have made fasting a way of life! I fast one day a week, one week per month, and 30-40 days during the Lenten season. This way, I always stay close to the thing that sets me free. And has helped me mentally, physically and most important, spiritually! Fasting has been a life saver for me. And I thank God everyday for this wonderful gift! God bless you and guide you through your fast, and all your endevors! Ron
]]>I’ve gone for several days while fasting and lost only 2 pounds. And then lost 5 lbs., in a day. There is no accurate method to gauge weight loss during a fast. So, don’t try.
If you want to lose a lot of weight while fasting, exercise using only aerobic equipment. But, you may also hurt yourself too. I can guarantee you won’t be fasting long while exercising daily. I’ve tried it!
A suggestion: don’t weigh yourself everyday. Weight loss is counted in inches, not necessarily pounds! Look in the mirror. That tells the whole, true story.
P.S. the first week or 2 is the hardest to gauge for weight loss. You will start to have a regular pattern after the second week. Approximately a pound a day. But that still doesn’t mean you will see it on the scale daily. It usually adds up to 7 pounds per week, depending on your size, activity, and type of fast you are doing.
