Good day! I am 4'11, female, 29 years old. I was 108 lbs on October
1st, 2008 and
currently 100/101 lbs today thanks to the regimen below. I need to
lose more weight for a contest ending Oct. 31st and was thinking of
doing a water fast on the last three - four days. Is this advisable/
will I be able to do it and still able function in an office job,
driving and all that? Or please tell me what else I can do to lose
more lbs. I’ve never done an all out fast but the regimen I started
below since Oct. 1st, I believe I drastically reduced my
food intake ...

Fast - If anyone has ever told you you have an eating disorder,
no matter if you agreed with them or not, no matter that you
think they were qualified or not, don't fast.

There is a short term method for fat loss that beats a fast. It
uses hormonal response to dietary intake in a way that's not
obvious. Dr Atkins called it the "fat fast". 1000 calories of 90%
fat, 10% protein with a strict limit of no more than two weeks.
You could do it at this point. Expect it to be *extremely* boring
but at least you won't be hunger.

Some blurbs on way it works.

Low carb means the water that now goes to storing carbs in
the form of glycogen dissolved in water goes away. No
stored glycogen, no water to dissolve it. This isn't fat loss
but it is pounds loss so it counts against the contest.

Low carb means low insulin. Insulin drives fat into storage
so low insulin allows fat to be easily removed from storage.

High dietary fat means high glucagon. Glucagon drives fat
out of storage and this is way a 1000 calorie intake with 900
of those calories from fat actually beats an outright fast in
the short run - A fast triggers hormonal starvation modes
while the high glucagon is the opposite driving fat into the
blood quickly. Your resting metabolism goes up more than
enough to make up for the difference.

The 100 calories of protein is a rock bottom intake. Maybe
egg protein isolate to get a complete mixture of amino acids
to make the most of this insufficient temporary intake.

There are an assortment of metabolic hormonal reasons to
limit the fat fast to 14 days or less. Low protein. History of
T3 output dropping on VLC diets starting 14 days in (the
primary starvation mode hormonal reaction to drive metabolism
down). And so on.
