So I'm a pretty healthy guy... I workout almost daily and eat mostly plant based, and also usually do 16-8 intermittent fasting. I carry a decent amount of muscle on my frame, but quarantine kicked my butt. I Iost motivation and was unable to exercise as much (aggravated my knee outside and obviously had no gym access). All things considered I didn't gain that much fat, but I did jump from a relatively lean 200lb to 215. I'm bad at guessing body fat but right now my lower abdomen has a good little plumpness to it so maybe 18-20 percent-ish?
That said, I am supposed to hit the beach tomorrow and realized yesterday how embarrassed I am going to be taking my shirt off in public.
I realize this is purely vanity and somewhat tongue in cheek (I am not weighing in for a boxing match or anything serious), so I don't mean to offend anyone who's on a long term weight loss journey... but I was wondering how much weight I can lose between now and then.
I know that I carry a lot of water weight because when I drank alcohol last weekend I woke up @ 201lb. (sidenote, it was the worst hangover of my life and I believe may have been my final rodeo with booze. Older I get the less I can handle the hangovers.)
That being said, I'm trying to do a 24 - 36hr fast right now (started at 11pm last night and going strong at 2pm today! I'm going to see how I feel tonight or tomorrow morning before deciding whether or not to make it a shorter fast). I already take Epsom salt baths almost daily for muscular recovery and relaxation, but I decided to try soaking longer and adding more salt to the water as I read it will basically soak up the excess water in your body.
Besides that, does anyone have any other suggestions? I have about 24hr left before I arrive on those sandy shores so I much appreciate any advice! 🙏
