Sorry if it came across that I'm associating kale with magical weight loss. What I was getting at was I break my fast with a burst of fresh nutrients that my body can easily absorb.

I think the whole approach of strict fasting, along with the plant-based diet is what worked... and I can't see how it won't work for others, but then again I have no idea. People are radically different, and certainly, I was super motivated to lose weight because I never, ever wanted to be obese.

When I was a kid I used to watch The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Will Smith did a bit about Dunlap Syndrome. When my Doc told me I was going to be obese that bit from Fresh Prince flashed in my mind's eye and it was like Will Smith was laughing at me lol.

"Burst of fresh nutrients" -- there are fresh foods but just nutrients. Not super nutrients, not fresh nutrients, just nutrients.

Hey it's a good strategy. Works for you, can work for others. But the magic is not in breaking your fast with a "burst of fresh nutrients" -- it's in reducing your overall caloric intake, as well as eating a balanced diet.

Good luck and congrats again.
