This week I've been fasting till 12pm and then eating a big lunch. I've done this mon, Tues, wed., tomorrow I'm going to eat breakfast and lunch and stop eating at 4pm..so no dinner ., then fast till 12pm., so that's a 20 hour fasting window .. Now just need to think of something I don't like for dinner ...hmmMmm

I know my weight is up by more than normal because of the antibiotics and have not been to the loo as much! But I'm hoping that this type of fasting is easier than a daily one with 500kcals ., I know I can fast till 12pm I am committed to stoping eating at 4pm and doing my best to fast till lunch time next day !

All or most of my weight is on my belly and when I was fasting before I was loosing it off my belly and I want my belly to go away!

lol good idea feeding the family dinner you dont like, at least you shouldnt be tempted that way!

When I tried fasting I found, for me, a 5pm to 5pm fast worked best as I could have an evening meal each day,
I did 2 of these fasts a week and the rest of the time stuck to an eating window of 8-10 hours.

Hope it goes ok xx

Fasted to 12pm was ok actually better than doing it all day. So I had nothing from 4:45pm Thurs evening till Fri 12pm .. Was really hungry once I start eating at 12pm.,

 

[Mis-behave]

So tired just spent the last 5 hours up at the doc/ a&e with niece with baby .. Nothing wrong with baby but she has a few issues with bladder and possible problem with the stitches .. They did a few tests and we will find out results Sunday/ Monday .. Have very big headache !

 

[Mis-behave]

WI day today .. 91.7kg which is up from last week.. But down 1.7kg from Monday .. Still not as regular as I normally am .. In part due to antibiotics, which I've now stopped.

I think I will also do the fasting from 4/5pm to lunch time next day as it was ok and I know I can do it again.

So..
Eat eat fast - Thurs
Fast eat eat - Fri
Eat eat fast - Sat
Fast eat eat - Sun
Eat eat fast - mon
Fast eat eat - Tues
Eat eat fast - wed
Fast eat eat...... As so on

Aww hope the tiredness doesnt throw you off your game and I hope your niece gets sorted x

Be careful fasting each day, you dont want to stress your body out

Hope you have a good weekend xx

Yes, just be careful, hon. If you're doing daily fasting, make sure you're still eating normal calories, and don't fast for longrr than 14-16 hours (I think it's generally 14 for a woman). I've been doing it for a while now, fasting 14 hours a day but eating around 1,500 calories in the 10 hour eating window. xx

I thought to do that patten for 7/8 days and then do a day of eat est eat; eat est fast. And then carry on again .. As long as my energy levels are good

Since End of Aug my weight is creeping up I need to get it back down - I know I eat too much a lot of the time but recently I've been better at keeping the kcals lower and I'm still just losing and gaining the same amounts ..

Fasting in the past worked well .. Then I got sick with flu and just couldn't get back to do it again mentally .., I struggled at keeping to the 500 daily kcals .. I think I can do this by skipping dinner and breakfast next day - which is 18-20 hour fasts (majority of it sleeping ) but still eating 1500 odd kcals a day .. and hopefully my weight comes down to show that it's working .., if it's too much every day I will add in an eat eat eat day every so often

I really would caution against fasting for 18-20 hours a day - daily fasting for a man is only recommended at 16 hours. You don't want to harm yourself. xx

I think I would be a bit wary of this, it's sounds a bit more like starving yourself and binging to me.. Why don't you try the 5:2 or an official plan which is recommended x

I agree, Lisa, although I have found daily fasting to be fine for me. It's supposed to give the same health benefits as 5:2 but without having to only eat 500 cals on two days. However, the generally recommended fasting levels are 14 hours for a woman and 16 for a man. I fast between 10.30pm and 12.30pm the next day (at least I did for a long time, I've eased up a little since my op on some days!). xx

I know what you are saying, you have stuck to one plan for such a long time and it works ... I worry Tara is taking it to the extreme
Tara- how about giving Tracy's plan a try.. The fasting works for you and makes you feel better... X x
