My bmi is showing as over 100 because I am a total muppet who clearly wasn't paying attention filling in the initial settings when I first joined. Somehow I entered myself as 6ft 10in tall (which I am not) and 78stone (the mind boggles) Ooops, and now the settings can't be reset unless I PM the boar...

@Mizztraveller & @insx: I don't think Dr M or Mimi ever said 'eat whatever you like' on 5 days. I think it's a (deliberate?) misinterpretation of the injunction to 'eat normally' on 5 days. As Tass has pointed out, that might require a bit of re-education and it certainly isn't an invitation to...

Hi All I'm new and I've done 2 fasts so far that have looked pretty similar. I was surprised how much I could eat for a very carefully planned 500 cals so I thought I'd post my day and ask others to do the same for ideas.
