WELL DONE!!!! That's brilliant - what days are your fast days this week

Hiya

I'm new to the 5:2 and fasting, and just came across this...i'm wondering what you eat on 'fasting days' and if it's possible to eat 3 times a day, or is it 2? I'm planning on seeing if i can get the book in town today!

I usually follow SW but i'm getting all too worried everyday about what i'm eating, measuring etc and I like the health / scientific benefits of the fasting.

Many thanks xx

Hi EatenMess (love your user name!!)

I don't follow the 5:2 but I have had days when I have had to cut back following a heavy weekend, I normally have

breakfast: beans on toast (approx 200 cals)
lunch: homemade or ww soup for dinner (just under 100 cals)
dinner: chicken stirfry and fruit (approx 200 cals)

- you don't feel deprived if you use your calories sensibly

hope that helps x

Hi
The book is useful, gets u in the mood for it.

At the moment, I am doing Tue n Thurs fast days on them I'm having a late breakfast of either porridge or weetabix then fasting all day and having meat n veg for supper, quite a normal tea, but u cud eat 3 smaller meals but that's not wot the book says to do if I get desperate on fast days I have cuposoups on hand, good luck x

Great loss Liz... Well done xx

 

[EatenMess]

Thanks Ladies,

Can't wait to get the books! Think i got a little confused about eating 2 or 3 times a day as i looked on thefastdiet website and just read on their that it's based on not skipping meals, so i assumed that was 3 meals a day!

Pretty sure i'd get used to 2 days of fasting, busy mum, wife etc and all of that! xx

Nice loss, well done you!!

Yip you need to get the headaches sorted. Could it be birth control related do you think? I used to get bad headaches on the pill. Hope they can do something for you.
No I'm not on MFP anymore, kept getting loads of messages on how I should weight train, eat more protein yadda yadda, got the best of me and I deleted all my friends. I like it best here, people are more constructive with their advice I think.
