No game 14,437 Posted August 17, 2013 I think that being sleevers we just have to make certain concessions...I stop eating the night before at 7 and take my first "fast" meal at lunch time. Then snack at some point and dinner again before 7. Then the next day not eating usually until late morning or lunch time again. Yesterday I "saved" up most of my calories because I wasn't to hungry. Well having that many calories for me at one meal was impossible, because its straight Protein and veg. I would have to eat something that might not be as "healthy" ? So I think spreading those calories through out that 7 hour window is just going to have to work. 1 Georgia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feedyoureye 3,087 Posted August 17, 2013 At first I spread it out more, the last couple of weeks I have a Protein Drink in my Ice coffee, I stretch it out from 8am-2pm or so then maybe have a crystal light or plane ice tea until dinner. So thats 100 cals, then around 450 because I never seem to stick to 400! I read somewhere (always dangerous) that maintaining that ketosis/fast state by only having low carb Protein drink did not put a strain on the body... but who knows!

Since I don't seem to get very hungry at all it doesn't seem a struggle. Now, I think I WOULD have a struggle eating calories all mid day and nothing else!

Georgia 2,908 Posted August 21, 2013 http://www.52fastdie...ting-t7857.html a little 5:2 research-what is the dif between slow and fast losers on 5:2 FYE, you always find the most interesting stuff. I'd be interested to see how everybody else plays out according to the table (you can find the link for table inside the above link article) well, according to the table: I would put me in the "big losers" column I fit in the age pretty much and time use loss #s 59/8wks BMI - I think my BMI was around around 26.9 to start average weight loss - I'm off the charts! theirs 7.12 mine 21 lbs at 8 wks. avg lost week 1.07 theirs mine 3 Body shape apple frame medium TDEE (heres where it is way off!) theirs 2994 , mine 1875 Mobile Weight lost on previous diet - their avg 3.6 um 100 Medical condition affect weightloss - I'd say yes since I've had weight loss surgery but I guess no Range of calorie intake on feed days - Steady Change in feed day behaviour - less food, Snacks, sugary food, carbs, fat, more veggies, less dairy, fewer ready meals, i'd say less Protein for me. I don't drink so alcohol no factor Fast days per week - two Calories eaten on fast days - 401-500 Meals on fast days - here i was NOT average mostly Bfast plus dinner when first started, now mostly lunch, dinner Macronutrients on fast days - mostly lower carb Duration of total fast - 12-16 Binge behaviour - never Fast day exercise - light What was interesting to me was the average age (older) bigger losers, post menopausal bigger losers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

feedyoureye 3,087 Posted August 22, 2013 I hope you guys don't mind... I just sent off an email to carorees at the 5:2 website/forums telling her a little bit about our group. Shes the one who is doing the questionnaire. She is a medical writer and has lost 50kgs herself. She is a moderator on the site. I gave her our group address, I guess she can read it, I'm not sure if outsiders can read it or not. I will let you know if she comments on my email. 1 No game reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
