Juice Fast Day 2 + Weight Theory

I finished yesterday with a juice and honey with tea. So technically yesterday was the first day of my juice fast and not a water fast. I got so much free produce including 25$ worth of produce at a supermarket as well as free pears that fell from a local pear tree so I am guessing about 30$ worth of food. So I decided that it was time for juicing :)

I haven't tracked my weight in a while but today it is 135.8 pounds. I will see how low it goes as I continue the fast.

Personal Weight Theory:

This theory applies to my own personal weight. I can't really lose weight counting calories as that has never worked out. What has worked are fasting regiments. There were times in my life that I lost weight unhealthily as well which consisted of fasting too. But back to the weight theory, I believe that it takes a fasting regimen to get me to a new set point at which I will remain if I eat reasonably until I try to fast again. Let me explain.

I was once around 120 pounds at about 5'5". I got there through intermittent fasting which I stopped doing and remained close to that weight until my eating derailed with experiments of unhealthy eating which I only now realize. I got to an average weight of 150 pounds with periods of being even higher by at most 5-8 pounds. From there I did a kind of alternate day eating lifestyle for about 5 months and got down to 137 pounds and could not get any lower. I got into raw food again and remained around this weight until today; so even though I did not do any consistent fasting or dieting other than eating raw food I still remained this weight. My theory is that with this juice fast I hope to get down to around 120 pounds with which I feel the most comfortable at and remain there with a sensible lifestyle and maintenance fasting one day a week.

So with my weight as my motivator, I will fast until I am at a comfortable weight and hopefully remain there as per my weight theory.

Again, my body is unlike most peoples and I would have remained 120 pounds if calorie counting worked or if eating less food worked. Do what works best for you! If you are like me then try juice fasting until your goal and try to maintain it.

Note: I am not fasting primarily for weight loss, as it is only my motivator. I am doing this to be healthier and to experience new things :)
