Weight loss progress accountability post: Day 21; February 21steemCreated with Sketch.

in #blog7 years ago

Current weight: ~161 pounds (As of the time of this writing, February 22)
Goal weight: 140 pounds
Goal-by date: April 1, 2018

Food diary: Pancit (Filipino noodle dish), rotisserie-style chicken, salmon sinigang with tomatoes, onions, and bok choy; chocolate-covered almonds, one slice of red velvet cake, spoonfuls of chocolate frozen yogurt and coffee ice cream, and a cup of apple cider. Consumed between 12:15-1:00 pm.

Duration of fast since last meal prior: ~39 hours (dry)

I have read that dry fasting is superior to water fasting in that the body hydrolyzes fatty acids, which are pretty much just chains of hydrogen and carbon molecules, and combines them with the oxygen we breathe to create water for the body's own internal processes. My fasts are now dry, meaning that I do not drink water or any liquid, on top of not eating, during these periods.
