The FastDay Forum

I just started this diet on thursday and the fast days are going fine, they're no bother at all...the thing I'm confused about is the feed days...are you supposed to count calories aswell on those days or not?

I wanted to do this diet because I thought apart from the fast days it was a non counting calorie diet, so no hassle or fuss, just a normal life...I've done all that before and wanted something different.

I've read alot of different posts on the forum an alot of people seem to be counting calories on their feed days...will i still loose weight if I do two fast days but eat normally the rest of the time, as anyone else lost weight this way?

You don't have to count calories on the food/feast days. You can eat "normally" (depending a bit on what that means to you). It probably is a good idea though not to go overboard with the chips, crisps and cookies every day - I find the term 'feast' somewhat misleading, although I understand where it comes form.
So enjoy your non-fasting days without counting!

No you don't need to count calories on feed days.

I just suggest it for people whose weight loss has stalled in order to check they are not over eating. It can happen that, as your weight decreases and so your energy needs also decrease due to you being smaller, you end up over eating by mistake. Calorie counting for a week helps clarify things.

If you are losing weight there's no need to count calories.
