Me, Myself & I... Lower carb, fasting, real live foods

[Mis-behave]

Feeling much better today!

TOTM is due next few days, was suffering badly yesterday with cravings .. So yesterday's fast in the afternoon/evening was harder because of that. Did end up eating around 800 cals - had some 85% dark choc and macadamia nuts - seemed to help. But did push my cals up ..

I think the evenings are the hardest part of the day to cope with on a fast, at about 10pm last night i felt like having a pick but i got through it.

When are you fasting again? I am doing tomorrow.

Thursday or Friday I think ., depends on TOTM and how I feel

How are you finding the fasting?! I bought the alternate day diet book - where you fast every other day - to read up on the science behind the idea of fasting. I wasn't over convinced the health benefits disappear if you stopped the cycles of fasting!

Have you lost much - a woman at work is loosing 1/2lb a week if she's lucky! (Which I know is good I'm not knocking it - just wondering if cc can produce the same results without the hunger!?)

But I've noticed it's the new must do diet! Everyone's trying it xx

I bought the 5:2 diet book - as I think the alternative day diet is too hard to do long term. I've done 2 days so far - wasn't too bad ., although I was 200/300 over the 500 limit for woman .. Last week lost 1.4kg., lets see what Friday brings

I can also see me being able to do 1 or 2 days per week for a long time.. Another interesting thing is that I'm not as hungry the next day - you would think you would wake up starving ! Nope

Can't believe how bad my cravings have been today!! Feeling rotten with tight chest and sore throat .. Due on next few days

Tried fasting yesterday - cals were low but not anywhere near 500 .. Think it's a waste of time fasting week of TOTM - cant deal well with my cravings

Wing Chun is a type of Kung fu martial art ... Bruce Lee kind of stuff lol but I'm just a beginner .. Did it for about 2 year (ish) in 96/97 but when I moved to London couldn't find a class to join in my area .. But just started my kids at karate and thought ... Hmmmm wonder if there was a wing chun class near me! And yes there is and it is run similar to my old class just need to be super organised to go as its at 7pm and need to have kids in bed before I go!

Will you not be hungry?!

Could you not try 2 bowls of cereal for b and l then your meal?!
Might full you up more?! Xx

A fast day is meant to be 500 cals for woman .. Im a bit over that .. No not really hungry .. It's a day I find out that in reality I'm thirsty .. Ok have head hunger issues - and if I'm not busy my day drags on and on.,
