Help with fasting day evenings
04 Mar 2013, 08:38
Hi I have recently started the 2/5 diet and I am struggling a bit in the evenings, daytime I have no problems on the fast days but evenings are difficult. I have to keep biscuits etc in the cupboard as my husband has Lewy Body Dementia and keeping his weight on with things he will eat is difficult. It also means I have to sit with him in the evenings.
Hi PandyMay

Welcome to the forum.

Sorry to hear you are finding fast days difficult.

How are you using your calories (several meals or just dinner)? Could you save a few calories for an evening snack? Some people save enough for a low cal hot chocolate or some other feel good snack.

I save all my calories until the evening meal when I have an enormous plate of vegetables and a bit of fish or chicken which leaves me feeling stuffed most of the evening!

I tend to just think that I will be able to eat tomorrow when temptation arises. It seems to help.
