Weekly Weigh In
As you guys know, I did a 3-day fast a little over a month ago, and I dropped weight very quickly. A lot of people were saying, “you’re just going to gain it all back.”
Well… this is me showing you no, you don’t.
Mind you, I am currently on my cycle, and if you know, you know your weight naturally fluctuates during your menstrual cycle. Despite that, I’ve been eating, living life, not restricting, and my weight has remained consistent.
After my cycle, I’ll weigh in again so you can clearly see how it balances back out to the weight I reached after my fast.
Fasting has real benefits and yes, weight loss is one of them. But don’t look at it like a crash diet. It’s not something you abuse, it’s something you incorporate with intention over time.
This is about discipline, balance, and understanding your body.
Just a little encouragement for you 🤍
Sidenote, sharing my new ice cream I found it. It’s so good. You have to try it.
From my personal experience, embarking on a short fast like the 3-day one can be an eye-opener for your relationship with food and your body's signals. Initially, rapid weight loss happens, which feels motivating, but the real challenge is maintaining that progress. What surprised me the most was how my weight stayed steady even during my menstrual cycle—a time when many experience natural fluctuations. I make sure to avoid extreme dieting or restricting food because that often backfires. Instead, I focus on balanced eating and listening to my hunger cues, which helps me nurture discipline without feeling deprived. Incorporating fasting into a lifestyle requires intention and care. It’s not about quick fixes or crash diets that make you regain weight swiftly. It’s about respecting your body’s processes and understanding that some days might feel different, especially around hormonal cycles. Tracking my progress weekly has helped me see patterns and stay motivated. On a lighter note, finding a delightful treat during this journey is a game changer! The Talenti Gelato Layers Vanilla Fudge Cookie is a real gem—creamy, flavorful, and indulgent enough to feel like a reward without guilt. Treating yourself mindfully can sustain motivation and make the path to weight goals enjoyable rather than burdensome. Overall, combining fasting with balanced living and occasional treats feels like a sustainable approach I’m happy to share.
The fasting does work! I did a 3 day intermittent fasting and then change my eating habits to Whole Foods like meats and eggs for a month and lost so much weight!
