So I have been in a slump lately. but last night I was surfing youtube and found a woman on there who had lost 13 lbs in 5 days doing a protein shake only fast. I have done something similar where I had 2 shakes a day and then a meal, but it never occurred to me to just do a fast on them. I LOVE protein shakes.
Here is my plan.
to start off with I will do a five day fast. If all goes well I will attempt 5 more days to make it a 10 day fast, and then again for a fifteen day fast.
11/14/14 will be my day one
I will not weigh myself until the end of 5 days
Current weight 181

oh i was gonna buy some premier protein when i went to costco next, will it also be low carb so you'll hit ketosis? and do you know if the lady you saw was in a normal bmi range?
I was gonna do a liquid fast Dec. 1-5 then do low carb until Christmas Eve

She looked to be a normal bmi if not just a little overweight.
anyways I have to start over anyways cause I realised I was almost out of my premier protein and I have to buy more.
Premier protein only has 5 carbs per drink. you can easily drink 5 of them and still be in ketosis. Im going to restart tomorrow

Also If you have never had premier protein before, you can buy them in the larger box packs for about $20.
The taste is gonna be pretty gross when you first start off. I had to drink through a straw straight to the throat in the beginning. But I find that as long as they are chilled I can drink them with no problem and enjoy them ;

I have done this and dropped weight every single time. I drink zerocarb isopure (either the banana cream or the cookies and cream flavor) It works everytime! You have to have some big time will power. I drink 1 (it's pretty dense 50 gm of protien per 2 scoops) and a multivitamin for as many days as I can or want. I'm considering doing it again. I'm trying to get to my UW goal by Christmas (or sooner)! I'm new to the group but not to this life. I see myself in everyone here. It's scary yet comforting.

I'm leaning towards it! I was supposed to be headed up to my treadmill for my 4 mile run. (just drank my black coffee to wake myself up) Then I logged on and got stuck reading this forum! (it's just too addictive) I'll let you know mid day if I go this route. The problem I have that (everyone has) is that when you start trying to push into lower weight categories it just gets harder. It seems (for me at least) I have to keep tricking and changing things to throw my body off so it doesn't resist or plateau. Are you guys planning on exercising? Sometimes when you restrict calories like this I've read that too much exercise can be counterproductive.

guys I'm gonna tell you now
I'm going to have to break this tomorrow and restart on monday. I just found out my aunt is dying of brain cancer and I have to go to a family dinner and be with my family. My dad is devastated cause she is his baby sister and it came so fast. And my grandma is going to be crazy as fuck.
Anyone who wants to join me on Monday is certainly welcome. Especially if they have done this before

I'm sad cause they don't sell that here haha. I tried to b u u some and wound up with the carb one without knowing it. Was soo pissed. There's 2nd g of carbs in one of those bottles. Ughh.
Question
Do you think you lose more doing this ? Or doing a water fast? Very curious
#17 
Posted 15 November 2014 - 12:04 PM
Sorry about your Aunt. That is so sad! I've water fasted and done the shake. I drop weight easily with both (were talking a pound a day! w/o exercise). The difference is with the shake you can ease back into regular food without your body going nuts because you've restricted so long. The water one is tricky. You have to do all sorts of inbetween steps to keep your body from globbing the first calories that comes its way. The water one causes dizzyness too if you do it long enough. The Protein one I never noticed that weakness etc. I'll start the Protein one tomorrow Nov 16th with anyone who wants to and keep posting here! You can join in progress. Right now my plan is to do it until Thanksgiving, control the Thanksgiving meal and resume until Christmas.

Yeah the stuff with my aunt sucks. She's been fighting cancer all her life. Every time she goes into remission some how and for for some reason it always comes back except worse. Half of me wants to believe she can beat this. Like she has all the other times. The other more rational side tells me she may not because the survival rates for brain cancer is about 6% or so I'm told. And her doc gave her 2 weeks to live. And IF she is lucky maybe she will make it to christmas.
That's also hard because my dad's b day is in 2 weeks. And my brothers b day is next to christmas. Some one will be traumatized by their birthday possibly.
My biggest problem is I don't see death as traumatizing as most people. And the way I react in public makes people pissed that I can appear to be so calm and level headed while they are in tears.
I can't allow myself to give in to hysterics or fear at the same time as everyone else because they won't have someone to turn to. And I have to much control.
I told my roommate that when my aunt does pass away and i have seen to my family, all I will want to do for 48 hours is lock myself up in the house in pjs, cry, watch a marathon of Disney movies, and eat a tub of ice cream.
I made her promise to throw out the ice cream before I dig in.

Awesome. Were you really losing the same on both?
I usually don't lose much when taking protein. But you were not taking much (caks or proteins) anyway.

Yes! I've been at this crap a long time! There's a nutritionist and exercise science guy by the name of Lyle McDonald. He explains the science behind protein loading. I read his ebook and just took it to extreme (like we all do here because it's our nature). I wasn't taking much calories, I was simply loading it with protein and no carbs. I combined that with the warrior diet technique. (one meal a day in the evening). Somehow it just works. The will power tho, has to be really on point. I'm a Mom and have to fix regular meals for my family. My hubby is from India so that means cooking awesome Indian food none of which I could eat. It wasn't easy, but I reward myself with shopping where I can easily slip on size 0 clothes from the junior dept and I admit it's worth it for me. I feel awful saying that. but for the first time I've found a group where I feel others understand.

Gosh I'm really sorry. My Dad is like you in that he is not emotional when these types of things happen, meanwhile My Mom and I are in puddles. My husband is also quite stoic when faced with devastation! My Dad had stage 4 colon cancer and was expected to live only 6 months. That was 13 years ago. You never know! Take care of yourself!

Ohhh I am interested. So you did 1 meal a day and it was the protein shake? or did you just have protein shakes several times a day?

yes just one! This is the article that changed everything for me.

I love fitness blackbook. The guy Rusty that writes is it my hero. He has an Ebook Visual Impact for Women that I LIVE by. He understands that women don't want to look like little muscle men. His dietary advice is on point. I get email updates from him when he gets new information it's always great! Check him out.

I like this idea! I've been curious for awhile. I used to drink Slimfast instead of giving into cravings and I lost weight while doing it - but I never fully went on a protein drink fast because I wasn't sure if it would be worth it (since any protein/diet drink is expensive). I'm interested in what happens!

it actually took me a while to find a protein shake that works for me. I am too lazy to blend one together by the powder ones. the premier protein ones are nice because you can get them in a 24 pack for 19.99 if you are lucky

Hey! I like the idea of fasting on protein shakes, my brother works out hard so we have lots of protein shakes at home. Please post your results! I’m still deciding if I should try this or not (mostly because I’d have to steal from my brother, so I’ll only do it if its worth it…)
Ps.: Really sorry about your aunt. Be strong!

Im sorry to disappoint everyone, last night my family got a call from the hospital with the doctors telling us they believe my aunt has much less time with us than they thought.
they tried to take her for a walk and found that she has lost her ability to move on her own and she is rapidly losing here awareness of what is happening.
At 2am this morning my dad boarded a flight to go to his sister and be with her. She is so scared and so weak, All she wants right now is her big brother to be with her and no one else.
In my father's absence I have been asked to watch after my grandma. If no one watches out for her she will go on a drinking binge and put many people in danger. So today I am looking at taking her out to lunch and possibly dinner, meaning I cant start my planned protein fast.

My aunt has been battling cancer since she was 14, its always been a possibility that she could pull through this until last night. This form that she has is rapidly eating at her and everything the doctors are trying isn't working.
last time she had a horrible reaction to the chemo and they had to put her on psych watch because she had such a bad reaction that her face swelled 3 times its size and lots of hair fell out. it was horrible. ![]()

My Aunt Died today. By the time my dad arrived she had slipped into a coma. an hour later she passed away. right now I am numb.
I went to the mall to get a new prescription for my glasses, and called my mother to tell her about them. she told me she was about to call me and that she didnt know that the post had been made before the family approved of it. I asked her what she meant, and she let it slip that my aunt passed away, and that one of her closest friends without meaning harm wrote a rest in piece post on facebook.
My little sister found out about it and was hysterical and had to be driven home by her friends to be with my mother. My brother was furious, and the whole time, I was blind because my eyes had been dilated. I ended up walking the whole length of the mall for 2 hours before I was able to see to drive home.
My mother, after realizing i was not home but in the mall, said she would pick me up ( an hour away) and my brother said he would pick me up ( an hour and a half away) but i told them no. They were panicked thinking i would get into an accident on m way home in despair, but I told them I would be fine.
I called them when I was at my house, they all want me to take time off and just be with family, but i cant do that. I need the distraction of work, and I cant afford to take time off. I need the money for rent and bills.
My heart is saddened, my siblings and i lost an aunt, my father lost his baby sister, my grandmother lost her daughter, my mother lost a lady like a sister to her and close friends lost a loved one,
I try not to cry, I know she is in a better place, no longer in pain or fear and she will always be loved and missed.
I will probably disappear for a while while I process this, but I will come back and check in with you all soon.

Gosh, I'm really sorry all this is happening to you and your family right now. I hope things get better soon.
Meanwhile, I'm starting the protein shake fast today at 75.9 kg. I'll do it for as long as I can, and post the results!

Posted 06 May 2017 - 10:29 AM
I am new to this forum, just found here yesterday. Lovely to find a place where fasting and low calorie diets are ok ![]()
For once or twice a year I do a fast to lose some excess weight. On wintertime I gain and when the spring comes, I get rid of it. I have done this many times so I know it'll be relatively easy for me to stick to a fast.
I have learned something from my experiences though, last year when I only water fasted for three weeks, I did lose a lot of muscle. Also loads of fat but my body did look like a balloon that had suddenly been pierced with a needle so I try to awoid that now.
Therefore I will include a small protein shake daily to my fast. I will be getting 46 grams of protein from a protein shake that I will divide through the day and which contains 200 calories.
Hopefully this will minimize the protein loss from my body.
Also, after the first week, I'll try to include some excercise to further minimize the protein loss.
I intend to keep doing this for at least 30 days and in that time, I expect to lose 5-6 kilograms.
This is my day 2, so far I have not drank my protein shakes, I want to kick start the ketosis to make this easier. I will not report here every day but definetely as often as I can.

Day three.
I woke up with a horrible nausea.
I drank 89 calories worth of fruit-salt-protein smoothie and within an hour, I felt amazing again. I think my electrolytes are starting to be messed up, a little salt fixed that.
I have so far lost almost 2kg of weight, I'll bet 95% of that is water. Still it cheers me up! ![]()
So far this has been easy except for the nights, then I start to feel hungry.

Posted 08 May 2017 - 09:26 AM
Day four.
I'm doing well. 1.1 kg down from yesterday! How is that even possible? I must have had a lot of water weight in my body.
Days are easy for me but nights are still very bad. I try to sleep as much as I can, fortunately I'm a good sleeper. Last night I slept for 12 hours. When the night falls, I get so hungry, I pace back and forth in the kitchen thinking what very low calorie foods I could eat and then decide it's not worth it. Then after fifteen minutes, I do the same thing again.
Today I hav felt very hungry from the moment I woke up from my afternoon nap. I hope I don't do anything stupid.

Posted 08 May 2017 - 02:50 PM
Update on day four... It has been very stressful today, I might have to put one of my pets to sleep soon as his condition has become worse. It made me so depressed and after crying and feeling faint, I ate a couple of rice cakes and 200 calories worth of chocolate. I hope it didnt stop my ketosis. ![]()

Posted 09 May 2017 - 03:30 PM
So it was day five yesterday. I did relatively ok. Weight was down another 700 grams in the morning.
Still feel hungry and accidentally drank a glass of sugar coke instead of diet coke. I have mostly been drinking peppermint, chamomile and hibiscus tea... I miss food but somehow love this feeling of not eating as well.
#6 
Posted 10 May 2017 - 09:08 PM
Day 6 was yesterday and today day 7.
It seems I eat every day something small... Not much but something like a spoonful of raisins or like last night I had 3 spoonfuls of mash potato powder with water. I'm not sure can this be called a fast anymore. But I will anyway because the amouts of solid food are so small.
My weight hasn't dropped in the last 2 days, yesterday I was up 100 grams. I think it's the salt. I have been sucking grains of sea salt quite a lot so my electrolytes don't get messed up.
I need to be more careful from now on.
