Hi Everyone!
I've just registered on the forum today after quite a bit of reading up on this particular approach to eating/dieting. I'm no stranger to fasting, I did Leangains (daily fast, 16 hour fast, 8 hour feeding window), it was liberating at first but frankly I was just squeezing my usual inordinate amount of food into those 8 hours. I have previously done WW for 2 years and lost 4 stone exactly, thankfully I haven't put much of that back on. So I have approx just under 3 stone left to lose and after years of points counting I want to do something a little more exciting, and obviously the health benefits would be a huge bonus. I'm going for fast days on Monday and Wednesday.
My questions is: I do a school run 5 out of 7 days which means walking from 2:20pm to 4:15pm with about 10 minutes sit down in the playground. I know from experience that if I have eaten nothing/very little before I leave I tend to feel light headed and dizzy while walking, something I'd like to avoid with 2 small children to look out for. The further problem is I am an evening snacker and, like a few members, would prefer to save at least the majority of cals for a larger evening meal. So how would be the best way to approach this? Should I maybe try having 150-200 cals meal around 2 and save the remaining cals for a later meal? Or should I attempt to go without the earlier meal? Have something 'snacky' just to give me a boost for the walk? I'd really appreciate some advice.

This way of eating is so flexible that you'll be able to find a method that works for your lifestyle.
