Yes well done on the walking and avoiding the cakes.

I can say I have had none of this.

Sounds like its just me, but not complaining. Will see what happens tomorrow on my DD.

If Karenlou pops on sure she'll answer this question lol.

Hiya - I've been away so catching up on posts. Dr J sez you can fast on a DD if you want but he set the 20% because most people wouldn't be able to stick to an alternate day fast. The reason it doesn't affect your metabolism is because you eat on the up day - it would only put your body into starvation mode if you did it for longer than a day.

I know there are people on here who have studied nutrition - I haven't so just have Dr J's book to go on in saying this.

Karenlou, I may need to get the book as I think it goes into great detail

There's loads of really interesting scientific information in the book too - all the background tests, the asthma study and so on. I found it really interesting and a good antidote if people try to tell you it's an unhealthy diet.

Yes I'm ordering my copy tomorrow
