Thanks. Unfortunatly I cannot do one meal a day. I have to take insulin every 2.5 hours which means I need to eat something. So an egg with butter would work during the day and then 2 for dinner. I’ll be pondering this on vacation.I was doing something a bit different.. a one meal a day 800 cal regime so I just had one meal of 3 eggs with cheese or bacon and a bit of butter. Alongside that I would have my usual coffee with cream or tea with reduced lactose milk and maybe a few nuts to make up the remaining calories.
I can't recall any specific bathroom issues.
So it was way lower calorie than my usual days 25-35% of my usual intake
The only carbs were from the cream milk and nuts and on the last day I managed to fit in some fish as well all within the calorie limit.
Ha. I do wonder if that would work as long as it was only a small piece of meat that equates to an egg. Don’t forget the butter!!it is such a shame that eggs taste of eggs or I might join you. Now the ribeye diet is one I can get behind of and down right on top of.
I had poached (my favourite), fried, scrambled and boiled. You could always bake one in an avocado...Thanks. Unfortunatly I cannot do one meal a day.

I think I’d get sick of just egg salad with mayo but looking forward to soft boiled and omelets. Two meals a day I’m away from home so need to come up with some cold ideas. I could eat cold baked eggs I guess.
Haha. Can I have avo on the egg fast?I had poached (my favourite), fried, scrambled and boiled. You could always bake one in an avocado...

Especially considering we are in the 20’s, dark, and strong winds with snow on the ground.
I’m in Wisconsin and my parents in ArizonaSounds wonderful. It is about minus 4c here right now, and due to fall a lot lower during the night. Which state do you live in?
I thought of you on this subject. I remember Atkins saying it was just yolks though I think. I know I’ve googled a fat fast before but some recipes seem high protein. I think I’ll regoggle.Dr Atkins' fat fast for exceptionally loss resistant people seems to be very similar to this as a concept - though he did recommend it only for very resistant cases and for - I think - one week only. There is a sample menu in New Diet Revolution - mine is the 2002 version published in the UK.
The idea is to force the body into ketosis if it is digging in its heels.
yolks I can do as long as I get soldiers with itI thought of you on this subject. I remember Atkins saying it was just yolks though I think. I know I’ve googled a fat fast before but some recipes seem high protein. I think I’ll regoggle.

Doesn’t seem too far off from my diet minus any veggies. But I don’t eat many anyway. I did however see AVOCADO. HAHA. it’s a winner again.
That’s my favorite part too,yolks I can do as long as I get soldiers with it
That’s my favorite part too,
Hard boiled yolks, mayo and avo all blended until smooth. Spread on anything. Dip your soildiers in it. ( I’m assuming they are sausage type things ?)
Lmao. Literally!!! Well then spread it on haha. Where there’s a will there’s a wayYou have a lot to learn!! Soldiers are strips of bread and butter
Yes, I posted a link above to his ideas. I’m not metablocally challenged ( other than D) and I don’t need to lose weight but a pound or two would be ok. . I need my stomach to behave more than anything. My diet is already 80% fat and 5% carb, if even. I know I’m ditching the few veggies I eat, at least for awhile and see how that goes. And I’d like to not be eating so much mayo so replacing that with butter/ ghee and see how that goes too. I’ve been eating the same basic things forever so switching things up a bit might help.Dr Atkins was rather cautious about the fat fast - he suggested first checking that metabolic resistance was not as a result of a sluggish thyroid - he suggested testing the body temperature before getting out of bed with a clinical thermometer, and if the average of several days testing was under 97 then it was a certain indication of thyroid problems which needed addressing.
Next he suggested going 'hard induction' - just almost carbless foods, meat fish eggs cheese.
He argues against fasting as a means to lose weight as it usually ends up with a reduced lean body mass after the fast, and a rapid regaining of weight as fat in the following days. Some of the few small trials done using low carb back in his day showed that low carb high fat resulted in a greater loss of fat than fasting, or low calorie diets which were still high in carbs - so he was backed up in his warnings on low intake of foods being potentially bad news.
One of the small meals suggested involved half an avocado, meat and mayonnaise, and another was egg and pork rinds - another was something with caviar.
Busy stuffing her face with her fourth egg of the day! Right now! It's 5.45pm and I've just got in from a very physical day and fortuitously found I had one of my two HBDs* left in my bag.Where in the world is @Snapsy, the egg queen, on this thread???
