time of your fast day
17 Feb 2013, 22:10
Hello

I have just bought the book and wondered…..if you eat a light last meal at 6pm then do not eat at all until lunch time the following day (500 calories), then end your fast day at 6pm with a meal whether that was cheating???? It means that within a 24 hour period you are only eating 500 calories with a 16 hour complete fast period but it feels a bit too easy.

Thanks

No after your 500 cals you don't eat until next day breakfast. You don't have to have your 500 at lunch though, you can have them at dinner, split between breakfast and dinner or however you like. An increasing number of people prefer to save them all for dinner, but is up to you.

Do have a look at the FAQ (link below) where this and other such questions are explained.

Good luck with it.
