re: Finishing up a 60+ hour fast

This is incredibly unnecessary. Two weeks ago I went out of town for 4-5 days. Tracked my calories and consistently ate and drank 1,000+ calories above my TDEE. When I returned I was about 3-4 lbs heavier on the scale than when I left.
The day after I got back I started to again eat at 500 calories below my TDEE and went back to my normal exercise routine. After 5 days I was 1 lb less than my starting weight BEFORE going on the trip.
Most of the weight you gain on vacation is water weight from shifting your diet. Fasting like that just seems highly unnecessary.

I don't think anyone was saying that fasting was the quickest way to drop weight.

True. OP likely gained 1lb at the most assuming he didn't enter into any eating contest.

A lot of times reverse dieting can help. You'll reach a point where it's hard to progress. So an increase in calories for a short amount of time can help. It can also speed up your metabolism. Then you gradually reduce calories again.
