Don't eat in a caloric surplus? It's not rocket science.

If you fast you'll probably mostly lose water weight at first, then when you end it the water weight comes back

It's impossible to not gain weight after a fast because of increased food intake. You have to wait it out for a couple days, then your weight will be where it was once you were done losing weight.

how long do you fast, and what exercises do you do during the fast?

For example - if you are cutting down to 150 pounds, your target maintenance is probably 2500. If you were eating 500 for a week to get to that weight, your body may go up a couple pounds from salt, carbs, and food in your stomach. But that weight gain will be temporary once your digestive system gets used to having the stagnant amount of energy.

I think that is an admiral goal and probably is a good idea if you are currently overweight. But it is not a fast if you are consuming 500 calories a day, it is a diet. I would suggest you limit your carb intake during the diet to less than 20g/day to permit better gluconeogenesis.

 

[Deleted member 16918]

yeah im eating mostly fruits, boiled eggs, cucumbers, and milk for protein. we dont have any healthy red meat.

You gain it again because you are literally starving at 500 calories. So your body thinks there's a famine going on and once you eat maintenance again it forces you to have appetite from hell since it fears there's going to be another famine and it needs to be prepared for that.

The trick is to go slowly. I was like you and wanted to just fast to death and get it over with, but that doesn't work. Just be in a constant 400 deficit. For a much longer time.
