The Science of Fasting

SoggyBottomBoy said
It wasn't easy but I did it! Seven days + 2hours. I broke my fast last night. Hardest times were going to the Cajuns game on Saturday and the Saints game on Sunday. The end of the fast weighing was a loss of 12 pounds. That won't keep, of course, but I have a better base weight going into the holidays. I don't see myself doing that again, but I may try some modified, less strenuous, fasts in the future.

You might want to consider intermittent fasting, just reducing your eating window each day. Lots of people do OMAD (one meal a day) or TMAD (two meals a day) and by having the tightened window (4 - 6 hours), it makes it easier to restrict calories. It's much more sustainable than extended fasting. And now that you're likely in ketosis, it should be easier as well.
