The FastDay Forum

Hi!
I am new to the forums, I started a week ago. I fasted when I was younger and found that having dinner the night before and then not eating anything until having a normal dinner the next night worked then. I am doing that again, I started a week ago, and I'm wondering what people's opinions were. And what everyone else is doing? Is anyone else doing something different to the 500 cals spread throughout the day? I also hope to start off at 3 days a week.
Thanks!

Hi Pay Day & welcome

Many of us are doing the same thing - fasing from dinner the night before until dinner on the fast day, when we then consume up to 500 cals (sometimes I only need 300 or so if I have a huge salad!).

The stats we've gathered in the Progress Tracker so far suggest there's only a negligible difference between doing 5:2 and 4:3, at least in women (the few men we have stats for seem to have done better with 4:3), so you may find it best to start with 5:2 and save 4:3 for those weeks when you feel you've overindulged on your feed days or when those scales just aren't shifting!

Good luck, and let us know how you get on

Hi and welcome

See here viewtopic.php?f=7&t=588 for the answer to your question!

Over half of us do it like you! Good choice!

Good luck Pay Day . I also do the same. Have my dinner at 6pm on Mondays and Wednesdays then only have water and/or black tea/coffee until 6pm on Tuesday and Thursday when I have a normal meal with lots of vegetables. Been a huge success for me and I hope it works for you.

Thanks, we'll see how this week goes. My first meal after a fast is pretty freakin huge!
