My first fast took me through August 12, 2019.<\/p>\n

During that fast, I rather sheepishly joined the Eat Like a Bear<\/a> group on Facebook, founded by my longtime online friend, Amanda Rose.<\/p>\n

Previously, Amanda told me she\u2019d lost 100 lbs in 8 months. I wasn\u2019t skeptical about the weight loss per se, I just didn\u2019t care. I had just gotten home from my hospitalization for congestive heart failure; I didn\u2019t want to lose weight, I wanted to lie down and still be able to breathe. I was happy for her, but it had nothing to do with me.<\/p>\n

She told me she did it via intermittent fasting, eating one meal a day. I thought her calories were dangerously low. She told me what she was eating, the Ridiculously Big Salad (RBS)<\/a>. I admitted she was probably getting more nutrition than most people eating the standard American diet.<\/p>\n

She went on \u201cmaintenance\u201d from there and lost another 40 lbs, literally winding up half her weight; her FB page exploded with people asking her how she lost so much weight.<\/p>\n

A while later, she posted her video from Yellowstone.<\/p>\n
