How much fat is too much?
 

The last few weeks I seemed to slow way down with the weight loss. After taking a close look at my fitday records I found that my fat content was slowly decreasing until it was down to about 65% -70%. The last three days I have been over 80% in fat and have lost 3lbs.

Now, since the fat fast is supposed to 90% and only for a few days. One day I even got up to 86% (2lbs down the next morning) does anyone have any information if keeping my fat content long term above 80% will hurt me?

Also, just fyi: my calories have been about 2200 and my carbs have been about 3-4%.

Thanks!

If you are getting adiquet protien to support lean weight, eating your veggies, and keeping claories up I don't think fat, even high levels, would be a bad thing. The only time I'd worry is if your protien and calories dropped way too low because of the appatite control. It's not the 90% fat that makes the fat fast dangeroud for the long run, it's the extreamly low calories and protien as well as the very rapid weight loss. To keep weight off and remain healthy it should be lost in a slow controlled manner (I don't mean you have to stick to exactly 1 pound a week, just ina controlled manner for you with eating habits that you can maintain after reaching goal)
