RE: The 5+2 fast diet - a self-experiment
Sounds doable and kind of logic. So far I figured out that no matter what you eat matters only the calories amount you consume. If you over consume calories even with eating salads etc. you will gain weight. If you stay under the recommended daily norm eating pizza and chips you will stay the same weight or lose it.
Anyway good article and might even give it a try :)
Thank you @gretum. Yes, give it a try, it is much easier than you might think and the days in between are great ;-) I think what is most important to understand that you do not have to be afraid if you are getting hungry - it will get better!
I'm afraid the biggest issue is self control after you do get hungry :)
That might happen of course :-)
I actually did it! Y-day tried staying in 500 Kcal limit. Wasn't as bad as expected. It is just my poor husband had to endure my cranky because I was hungry and sweets deprived mood lol
Great, congratulations! The mood will improve next time. I typically try to do this on work days so that my mood is not affecting my wife ;-)
Respect, that was a quick decision, very good. I also had my fasting day yesterday, and today I am enjoying that I do not have to worry about food.... I also try to do the fasting on work days, so that it does not affect my family life very much. I would not want to miss out breakfast on Sundays ;-)
Uh, got lost a bit among responses :) I know what you mean. That actually might become a fun new experience. Thank you for advice. I'll try to pick my fasting days more carefully too.
