So once I have my last meal on my Up day I don't eat again til tea time the following day - usually between 5 and 7 o'clock. I've always done it like that as I know if I split the cals and have breakfast or dinner I'll keep snacking. And it's more family friendly to have a family meal. And it means it's pretty nutritious homemade meal too.
I have a similar pattern on ups but the trouble is my snacking. One biscuit turns into half a packet. One choc button turns into a packet. And if it's a school run day it's an early fin and I head for the breadbin.
Brad's book is really interesting and he keeps it up to date. I get regular blog emails from him with some interesting stuff. CL - you will find it especially interesting as he's a bodybuilder and knows his stuff.
yoga84 said:Ok this is how I'm doing it!! This way fits in completely with my weekend social life and prevents me having 3UDs in a row (F,S,S) which I have had last few weeks!
As long as I've list even 0.5 pounds this week I'm in for life :-D
Day 1 (Monday) Fast until 5pm then eat up to 1000 calories max before bed (will only really do that amount at weekends!)
Day 2 (Tuesday) Eat up to 800 calories max until 5pm (adding to yesterday's up evening = 1800 calories max over 2 days) Fast from 5pm until bed.
Day 3 (Wednesday) Fast until 5pm (= 24 hour fast) Eat up to 1000 calories max before bed.
Day 4 (Thursday) Eat up to 800 calories max until 5pm. Fast from 5pm until bed.
Day 5 (Friday) Fast until 5pm. Eat up to 1000 calories max until bed (meaning I can enjoy my Friday nights!)
Day 6 (Saturday) Complete UD = 1800 calories (or maybe more lol!)
Day 7 (Sunday) Eat 800 calories max up to 5pm (meaning I can have a good post-hangover breakfast and/or Sunday lunch if I'm careful!). Fast from 5pm until bed.
Go back to start and repeat! :-D
I hope that makes it clearer for everyone? Xxxx
