Back when I was low-carbing last year, a bunch of us had done a Meat & Egg Fast and was able to lose lots of weight. Does anyone here now know about it and would they be willing to post the basic rules and amounts for that please?

GQ

OK, I found the answer to my own question I am starting the Meat and Egg fast tomorrow for at least three days to kick my body even more. I have done ok but I want to do better. Here is what I found if anyone else might be interested at all.

3 DAY KIMMER EXP/ MEAT AND EGG, 3-5 Days or Until Goal***You Decide***Sept 1-30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This challenge is for anyone who is considering, is doing, or has done the 3-day challenge or meat/egg challenge


Rules for Kimmers 3 day experiment--READ THOURGHLY
Do this for 3-5 days

As much lean protein as you desire--only lean protein
Length of time is 3-5 days depending on how 'carbed up' you are
Purpose is to experience 'real' ketosis (weight loss, no appetite)
Useful as a springboard for other LC programs
No alcohol, no cheese
Basic condiments and spices OK(watch catsup & A1 sauce)


RULES FOR Meat/Egg ---READ THOROUGHLY!
Do this for 3-5 days or until you reach goal!

Protein only (lean for best results)
Skip unnecessary fats like cream
NO Cheese
Go easy on the mayo
Skip alcohol (yes, all forms!)
Skip junk protein like pepperoni and pork rinds
Skip Chicken wings and skin
Drink diet beverages and plain coffee & tea as desired
Use artificial sweeteners as desired
No calorie counting
No cheating (it's 3 days!)
Have a Centrum type vitamin each day



Eat to appetite. If you're hungry, eat. If you're not hungry, don't eat. No need to force yourself to eat when you're not hungry. Do not count the carbs in eggs, diet beverages, plain coffee or tea. Your carbs will pretty much be non-existent if you stick to these rules. Within three days, you should be in deep ketosis with a much suppressed appetite. Remember, after two days, if you have lost 3 to 5 lbs, then you were over on your carbs (per Kimmer) And you don't have to do 5 carbs or less. Kimmer NEVER said that. She just said to keep your carbs as low as possible, and as long as you are sticking to these rules, like I said before, your carbs should pretty much be non-existent.

Post how many days on this experiment and how many pounds lost. We want to share in your victory!

Also, post any tips that you think might help others.

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO **ROCK** - WE SALUTE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a list to help you start with a lean choice:

Very Lean Protein choices have 35 calories and 1 gram of fat per serving.
One serving equals:
1 ounce Turkey breast or chicken breast, skin removed
1 ounce Fish fillet (flounder, sole, scrod, cod, etc.)
1 ounce Canned tuna in water
1 ounce Shellfish (clams, lobster, scallop, shrimp)
2 each Egg whites
1/4 cup Egg substitute

Lean Protein choices have 55 calories and 2-3 grams of fat per serving. One serving equals:
1 ounce Chicken- dark meat, skin removed
1 ounce Turkey - dark meat, skin removed
1 ounce Salmon, Swordfish, herring
1 ounce Lean beef (flank steak, London broil, tenderloin, roast beef)*
1 ounce Veal, roast or lean chop*
1 ounce Lamb, roast or lean chop*
1 ounce Pork, tenderloin or fresh ham*
1 ounce Low fat luncheon meats (with 3 grams or less of fat per ounce)

The leanest beef cuts include round steaks and roasts (round eye, top round, bottom round, round tip), top loin, top sirloin, and chuck shoulder and arm roasts.
The leanest pork choices include pork loin, tenderloin, center loin, and ham.
Choose extra lean ground beef. The label should say at least “90% lean”. You may be able to find ground beef that is 93% or 95% lean.
Buy skinless chicken parts, or take off the skin before cooking.
Boneless skinless chicken breasts and turkey cutlets are the leanest poultry choices.
Choose lean turkey, roast beef, ham, or low-fat luncheon meats for sandwiches instead of luncheon meats with more fat, such as regular bologna or salami. Be careful of the sodium content on lunchmeat choices

How to Keep it lean:
Trim away all of the visible fat from meats and poultry before cooking.
Broil, grill, roast, poach, or boil meat, poultry, or fish instead of frying.
Drain off any fat that appears during cooking.

Fast Info

OK everyone, I am about done with my first day doing the Meat & Egg fast. I feel pretty good.

For breakfast I had 1 piece of bacon (medium thickness)
2 Poached Eggs

After breakfast I took a shower and then hubby and I went for a 2 mile walk. I did fell good and then I had a Diet Coke for lunch, but...I did have 5 more pieces of bacon for a snack/lunch.

For supper I had 3 ounces of beef brisket that was slow cooked all day and 2 hard boiled eggs. I did have this stuff I use as something to dip my meat into so it won't be so dry. That stuff is sour cream and picante sauce mixed together. Anyway, I only had 1 tablespoon of that. I had 16 ounces of ice tea (unsweetened) with supper.

According to Fit Day, I consumed 5 carbs. Of course they added 2 carbs for the eggs and a carb for the tea. So, if we discount the eggs and tea, I rewally only consumed 1 carb from the picante-sour cram sauce I made. My calories are 761 for the day, which I don't think is too bad.

How did everyone else do for the day today? I hope that everyone's day went as well as mine did. I also did wash all day today.

BTW GQ there is a whole thread on the 'buddies' forum about what they call the 'meat and egg program' that you might find good to join for advice and encouragement.

Love to see some more faces over there!!Come on over

I was wondering if people would post how much they lost in how much time it took....I love seeing those fast results (not that I have ever seen them on myself) but when I see others doing it ..it gives me hope and strength to stay on track!

I have been following the M&E for going on 56 days (just shy of 2 months) and have lost 24 pounds. With a total loss of 56 pounds since beginning this journey.

Wow ND that's great...I am finding it hard, like today I had lettuce...I'm still well below 20carbs with today being my highest at 13 carbs...I also had 2 green olives...my mouth just needed something! my ketostix was a little darker, but still not in ketosis at day 3 ....hmmm....my body must be holding out....

BUMP LOL I am trying this out to get out of a long stall and start of a gain, and to get into a dress for my daughter's grad!

So far so good, it is day 2. I am craving meat! I went all eggs yesterday, except for a tablespoon of cocoa powder in hot whipped egg sort of dish. I am a chocolate addict!
