You could always do the “lite” version like me. I eat one day and fast the next. I rode this very simple procedure to melt away 40 lbs (was easy). I have been doing this for about 3 months, lately my weights been stable as I’ve skipped fast days. I also only eat for about one hour on days when I do eat; normally it seems like the sugar rush becomes noticeable at the one hour mark, so even if you eat for the whole hour, that will pause you. My experience: 1st day of fasting is the hardest. But if you are fasting every other day obviously you’ll get used to it. You become aware that your imagination (imagining savoring the food etc.) was a big part of your eating. Knowing that it’s easier to not eat. I don’t know what it’s like to skip food for multiple days (well, more than 2), but for 48 hours between meals, it’s very doable, and stops feeling “heroic” (or needing massive willpower) pretty quickly. It just feels like your stomachs vacation day - which feels good.

  Between muscle and fat - a lot, an even mix; I didn't care if it was muscle or fat and didn't do anything to retain muscle. I have a condition such that, for me in particular, protein is hard on my body; so I want to have basically the minimum amount of protein in my diet and, by extension, a low amount of muscle (so as not to have to consume any more protein than is necessary). As for how much of that was water: my weight still fluctuates with water but in the normal range - 2 lbs up or down, let's say. My weight has stayed in its current range for... weeks now, so I don't think I could call the lost weight 'water weight'.
