I had a tough day yesterday because I don't like the taste of the master cleanse. It actually repulses me. So im not drinking the daily recommended dose. I'm on day 2 but don't think I will last as long as I hoped. I'm kind of with you Paul just shocking my body into burning fat.Quote:

The second part of the equation is to then put enough energy (Calories) back in to provide most of the daily energy you need while still getting the balance from your stored up energy.
In my case I need ~2400 calories to maintain my current weight so I find a way to only consume about 60% of that amount daily and find the rest (~1000) calories that is already in the body! At this rate I should lose ~2-3 lbs a week. I then add 1 additional fast day every week which is worth another lb for me so 4lbs a week.
The first week will yield ~10lbs as you jump start and balance the fluids....yada, yada, yada.
The real "secret sauce" is how you formulate that 60% of the incoming fuel. It is critical to make sure you only bring in the right kind of energy daily that can be easily burned and breaks down quickly so that it doesn't find it's way back into your long term storage......bottom line is that it's all about what you eat :D
Now that's clear as Mud!!
If I lost 10lbs in 1 week I'd be don't after 2 weeks :DQuote:

My goal is to get down to <220 by the end of March (contest) and under 210 by the middle of May. I'm currently pushing hard on 40" pants and I'm looking at getting back into those 34's I was able to get into a few of years ago.
What's everybody else's goal.......remember you'll never get where you want to go without a goal :yes:
My weight is 134.2 with a 26% BMI; size 2.
My goal is 120lbs; BMI 22%. I wanna look good in a thong. I know I keep saying it, but I've wanted to sport one since I was 15 and when I had the figure, I lacked courage and now I have the courage and need to work on the figure and tan :D
