Hi all
Earlier last year i made an attempt at JUDD and two illness followed by a 2 week holiday in america just completely threw me off. Obviously i saw the Horizon programme and was very interested in it. My family has a history of dementia and i'd like to get the stone off that i've put on since finishing Slim and Save. I've done pretty well to have only put a stone on.. When i came off LL i'd put 2 stone on before six months was out! Anyway i'd been doing a lot of research and was prepared to do JUDD again but like the idea of having my weekends without having to mess about with what i'm eating so thought perhaps this might be a better way for me? I'm off work sick at the moment and finding i'm not actually hungry until about 5/6pm so i'm wondering whether or not to combine 5:2 with Fast 5? Hmmm dunno....
Anyway i made my first attempt at fasting last week. I worked out my TDEE to be 1705 as i'm unable to exercise at the moment. My first fast was Wednesday and i made a poor meal choice meaning despite leaving eating until 8pm i was ravenous afterwards and ending up having 817 cals! Whoops. Second fast was Friday and i came in at just under 400 calories. However every other day of the week i've eaten way more than my TDEE (on one day it was more than 3000!) and mostly rubbish foods so i fully expected to have gained weight this week. Surprisingly i'd maintained my wieght!
Anyway my next fast day is tomorrow. Fingers crossed i don't mess up again.
