I've done the fat fast with excellent results, I tweaked it though and changed proportions. Ended up being more like 70-85% fat with some protein.
I would eat small baby spinahc salads with a hard hoiled egg in them, .5 oz of bacon bits (I cooked a huge batch and ate it over a couple of weeks) and sprinkles of parmesan, I'd use red wine vinegar and 1 tb of oil for my dressings.
Ground beef with onions and lc ketchup
Sour cream with scallion chopped and 1oz bacon crumbles
1hard boiled egg with bacon and mayo
etc.
I had a lot of caffeine!! Watch it though, you don't want the cream or anything you put in your coffee to get you off track. If I needed cream in my cofee I'd measure it and use the cofee as a meal.
It's hard to get used to the tiny portion sizes.
**********************
Working out.. you may be really really really tired! I was!!! And I am every time I try the fat fast, I find it almost impossible to exercise if I have anything going on in my life. eg: school, work, etc. which requires energy.
However, A week ago I started the sprotein sparing modified fast - very low cal, very low fat, very low carbs and high protein. I eat a few more veggies than the original plan. I feel GREAT. My workout performance is excellent - I do chinups, squats, sprints, pushups etc. and I have excellent energy despite the very low calories. The fat fast is very effective, but if you're athletic you may want to try a higher protein alternative, in this week I've seen great results. I intend to continue for a while. So far I've had no adverse effects.
Feel free to ask any questions!!
