Our Frequently Asked Questions topic will answer many of your fasting & weight loss questions!
If you're new and have a question or need some advice, please give us as much information as you can about your situation in order for us to be able to help you as best we can. For example, it's helpful to know your BMI/weight, how much you want to lose, any medical conditions which might affect your weight and (if you've started fasting already) how you do your fasts in terms of splitting up your calories, what you eat etc. Thanks!
The first two fasts I had breakfast, lunch and tea, spreading my calories, then did breakfast and tea for the next two fasts. After reading on here that many people find it easier to have all their calories at teatime, I gave it a go - and although it sounds scary at first, it is surprisingly easy! In the beginning you have no idea what fasting will feel like, but you will quickly learn what your body can do. I did read that although the weight loss still happens if you spread your calories, to get the more long term health benefits the bigger the gap the better!
Good luck!
As mentioned earlier the fast actually starts the night before the actual Fast Day, after your last meal/drink so the body is fasting overnight which already counts towards your fasting period. There are many different variations how you use your 500 calories during the Fast Day and I have always preferred to have a small meal at lunch and in the evening, whereas others have one meal in the evening or even nothing at all until the following morning. You'll soon find something that suits you - and it needn't necessarily be the same each Fast Day.
Think youve already had all the advice you need re the gap,so i will just add,enjoy the journey and read all you can here as there is so much knowledge to help you along the way x
Best wishes
