Fasting and Weight Loss
The first six days of my Breuss juice fast I lost eleven pounds, an average of almost 2 pounds per day. Over the next six days I lost 5 more pounds, an average of almost a pound per day. For the 12 days the average loss was 1.3 pounds per day. That weight loss was achieved without benefit of exercise. With so little energy intake I think it best not to drive this 65 year old body too hard.
It will be interesting to see how many pounds will be lost over the duration of the diet. I suspect that the number will be 40.
Update ... After 23 days the weight loss was 26 pounds for an average of 1.13 pounds per day.
