It was surprising how many 4 portions of fruit made up in calories

So today is my 'normal' day.
My intention is to eat like SW and fill my meals with plenty of Veg. I want to start my 5:2 in the right way so don't want to make my non fasting day simply a reason to eat naughty foods IYKWIM

So Im sitting in work and doing electronic filling. As you can imagine it's not the most mind absorbing job and I started to think about what I am learning from reading the 5:2 book and the experiences i gained yesterday from fasting and in actual fact I've learnt a lot about myself and eating...
1) I eat a 'because it's there' lot of the time - Not having the snacks made me realise how much I eat without the need to. I wasn't hungry just had the urge to eat
2) It's okay to fast - a few years ago I went through a phase of not eating masses of food. I ate to my appetite but it meant I didn't eat lots - the only problem was people kept telling me I was going to get ill...so I ate cos I was scared I was going to get poorly. When in actual fact I was doing right and if I have the odd low calorie day it's okay - I just need to be careful it's not every day
3) I've now reacquainted myself with hunger pangs. I just got used to never feeling hungry or full.
4) I won't eat like a loon after feeling hungry lol

I think the problem people see fasting as a negative
I'm just got through the science bit so only just started.
I decided to do the 5:2 simply because this week showed me that I struggle staying on lower cals for a long period of time.
I also watched the recent BBC horizon - Right Diet for you and I'm definitely a constant craver and this diet was recommended
