The 5:2 Diet

[TheNewSusie 471]

Lol not Susan but what the heck I'm here that counts right Yes you really want to get that 16 hour or so window of fasting in. So for me on Monday (a regular day) I eat my last food at 7pm and the by 7am the next morning you've already gone 12 hours add 4 more hours and it brings you to 11 am. Then you want to consume your fast day calories in an eight hour window.. I go longer than 16 hours and push my first meal out until 12 pm or so because I like to eat dinner or my last snack a bit later

Ok awesome! Thanx again Laura!

FYE is there a tv documentary on the exercise plan or just the book?

I watched it on a PBS site, because it replayed in the US, but it seemsall shows were yanked at some point.. I will see if I can find it somewhere. Here is the short preview....

Feel pretty good today, just had my first meal, low carb tortilla with lean hamburger meat, I'm so full! Woke up and drank my iced coffee and ran my errands.

One thing I really like about 5:2 is that I also feel full when I eat, also I notice a lot of restriction the day after a fast day. I'm having my first "meal" right now...protein drink.

[feedyoureye 3,087]

Ended up skipping my regular Protein drink, will have dinner around 4, a snack after that sometime, and call it good. I did drink 8 glasses of Water... I know all this holiday eating is really salty...

Today is my fast day, just like last week, I do have a bit of a headache, but not as bad. I finished my dinner at 7:00 last night and didn't eat again till 1:00 today when I had a small Wendy's chilli. I have been craving chocolate in the worst way today, and my sugar free hot chocolate did nothing to satisfy the craving. I just keep reminding myself I can have it tomorrow. Bill is heating me up some of his homemade chicken Soup for dinner and that should finish me up right at 495 calories for the day. How did the other Monday fasters do today?
