lose weight, been 40-50 pounds over weight for almost a decade, i keep dropping 20-25 pounds and regaining it again. I enjoy eating and drinking a little too much.
It's very dangerous, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't put their body through extreme circumstances in the past and knows their actual (not percieved) limits. I haven't pooped in a week, and my last bowel movement was gnarly.
A safer rate of weight-loss should not be more than 2 pounds a week, or approximately a 1,000 calorie defecit per day. An online search for a basal metabolic rate calculator should be a starting point.
Advice to others, no matter what process you take: I recommend not weighing yourself more than once a week - it's a mental thing.
If you're fat, you shouldn't ever be hungry, but eating food actually makes you go through cycles of hunger.
Stop eating altogether you get a steady hormonal state that is never hungry (until your fat reserves deplete).
Feeling "full" means overeating.
I read a comment on reddit once: "hunger" is telling you when to eat, not how much to eat.
I recommend the following vitamin c powder. If you are up for it you can do also a vitamin c cleanse: https://www.perque.com/product/perque-potent-c-guard-powder/
Catabolysis and heart damage is also possible. The body will consume fat first, so this is an avoidable outcome. I added the multivitamin and calcium/magnesium/zinc supplement to help avoid damage as well. Damaging my heart is my largest concern with this diet.
Specifically about fried chicken, I love it myself, but it turns out making "fried" chicken in the oven is super easy. And it's not really fried, so super healthy. I learned it from this Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jACqgyPAtD4&t=671s
But just to outline how easy it is, the whole process is basically to cover the chicken with some cornstarch and salt, let it sit in the fridge for a few hours, then cook it in the oven for forty-ish minutes. So easy, and tastes 80% as good as real fried chicken.
