Yep I do 5 to 5. Today I've started fasting at 5pm. And as stated I do have a treat pre fast to keep me going. Then on Monday I have down breakfast, down lunch, and up dinner. When I say ddu that's what I mean. Then on Tuesday I have up breakfast up lunch and down dinner (which is a uud day)
I don't usually count on my ups and I fast on my downs (just tea and milk) but theorectically if you wanted to follow the cal restriction you'd need to split ur cals over the 24 hours and not the regular days. For example if I wanted to eat between now and tomorrow lunch I'd have 500 cals. Perhaps 200 for Sunday dinner, 100 for Monday breakfast and then the remaining 200 for Monday lunch.
I love the split because it puts a sleep between the fast. I've fasted since 5 today, will go to bed tonight, and usually feel revitalised by Monday morning, and not quite as hungry.
However it can be hard not to just eat lots at 5pm cause I can. But I found that when I did regular days too. I just eat a filling dinner and that usually helps with the craving to eat crap.
I prefer this way a lot more than regular days but it's great that u can be flexible. I've planned to do all of Christmas eve as a fast day, then I'll do a split day later in the week. (probably wed night to Thursday lunch) That's the beauty of tweaking it to suit. Makes life a lot easier
