Have any of you tried a meat fast to break a stall? If so, what were the results? Please share.

I did.

I felt sick after 2 days.

Keep in mind I just ate meat, chicken and fish... no eggs, no cheese, no veggies.


It really made me wonder what people who dont eat veggies eat. I thought I was going to go insane.

Did you notice any weight change afterwards?

Here is a link that has a little info about it:

No weight change, but I only lasted 2 days.

I know someone who did it for a week, lost 2 lbs and then gained them right back when she started adding veggies.

Its really hard.

doesn't sound like it is worth it for 2 lbs and then to gain it back? I just bought a book that says you can lose several lbs doing it and keep it off but I guess just like everything else, it depends on the way your own body reacts to it. I just get frustrated when I am not losing weight. I am losing inches but not weight

I think the general concensus (sp?) is that most of the quick weight lost from the meat/fat fasts is gained back as soon as you reintroduce foods.

That sucks so bad! Oh well, I guess I have to be patient but I don't want to! I am so afraid I am going to be stuck here forever and be doing all of this work for nothing.

Keep on keepin on, the weightloss will follow!

Read my post on increasing fat and cals ... worked for me.

thanks for the support I really need it right now.

Consider this...

Would you be happy to be a size 8-10 and weigh 175 lbs? It can happen! Scale weight is just a number and I'd take inches above pounds any day. Shrinkage is a real measure of success!

Thanks, I will now. I wouldn't mind being 175 and wearing that size, at all!
