The FastDay Forum

I am not sure I understand this "1 sleep fast" and " 2 sleep fast" .
I eat my dinner at 6 pm on my normal day, and then nothing else before next day (my fasting day)at 6pm ( after 24 hours) but only 400 as the max on my fasting day. The next day again ( my normal day) I eat breakfast, so what am I doing : 1 sleep fast or 2 sleep fast?

That's a two sleep fast, but only a 24hr fast, the 5:2 with 500 cals is suggested as a more doable version of fasting and the small amount of calories enough to tide you over to the next day. It is a tad confusing though I agree. The longer the period of no food the more time to repair as I understand it. :0)
