Fitness challenge-gctid231971

[Kala Kambon]

Greetings everyone!
I haven't taken the time to post because the majority of the time I was water fasting and just had such a serious detox that I didn't think y'all would want to read all the unpleasant details.
But since we all started this challenge on May 8th I lost 19lbs of waste/fat on a 10 day water fast. This was followed by 5 days of juices and water, and now transitioning to raw food.
I still have more to go to reach my goal. But I'm glad with the results reached so far in such a little amount of time.
I don't know if I would have started the water fast without this thread. Y'all are an inspiration! Thanks y'all!

Lol @kevlew,
Ikatan sause is a raw off of this dressing recipe I came up with back when I was doing a cookbook in college.

The commercials remind me of Franks red hot sauce. that isht is good on everything.

Salad, rice, pasta....

Ok that seals it! Water fast it is.  How do I go about doing it?  Only water every day for a week?

Wait this means I have to stop my workouts right? I will be drained working out and fasting only on water I would think..

@kevlew, since Ikatan is her name spelled backwards, I used to wonder what orifice it came out of.

See my earlier post in this thread in which I discuss fasting including water only fasting.

Then 100 inverted push-ups against the door (40 straight then 6 sets of 10...and I don't wanna hear anything from @Agya Yaw since his start weight is the ladies' target weight. Bird's the word!) and 3 5-hold-5 push-ups. I used to do 10 of those on my knuckles. I may have to put them at the beginning of the routine instead of the end. Get it y'all!

However in my experience I question the wisdom of beginning a new physical training regimen at the same time as a cleansing or semi fasting diet.   This is because the these two activities are physiologically opposed  concepts.

Physical training is a ANABOLIC meaning building tissue activity. Yes fat is burned but the pushing of ones exercise to higher levels causes e body to BUILD muscle both skeletal and cardiovascular. Strenuous Exercise stimulates appetite which when you are on a cleansing calorie restricted diet is very difficult to maintain.

A cleansing severely calorie restricted diet is a CATABOLIC activity. This involves the BREAKDOWN and burning of tissue. In the body's own wisdom it picks the non essential and diseased parts to break down first. You are physiologically starving. While mild to moderate physical activity is essential to limit muscle mass loss during a fast or semi- fast cleansing diet, beginning new physical training puts severe strain in the metabolism since you are forcing e body into opposing physiological states simultaneously. Yes is can be done but in my experience to do so is asking for trouble.

I advise to maintain current physical activity at a 80% level unless you are a ultra marathon athlete in which case I recommend you contact me for further discussion. In any case training to increase strength or endurance is in my opinion unwise and counterproductive during a cleansing or fast.

Also a solid food severely calorie restricted diet is very difficult to follow especially if it lacks variety. You are hungry all the time and are bored as well.  This is very difficult to maintain.

I recommend the juice fast with no increase in physical activity, unless you are completely sedentary now, ( in which case beginning a easy walking program is indicated) because while on a juice fast soluble nutrient intake is maximized while the appetite disappears after about three days. The juice faster is literally not physically hungry again until the detoxification has completed. The return of true body as opposed to emotional hunger is the signal that it is time to break the fast.

Once the fast has finished and a new more healthy pattern of food consumption has been established now is the time to build up physical strength and endurance since the body is ready physiologically to rebuild.

The good news is that if you are having problems on the elimination/cleansing diet it is quite easy to move into a juice fast.
