Oooh so the kids have broken up now have they?!! Oh boy!
The best person to ask about BSD is Nutty @Hazlenut20! Have you seen how well she did? Man Alive! She lost over 2 stone in just 8 weeks! Can you believe it?!! Not only that, but she's lost her craving for all things naughty! She really is amazing.
I'm doing BSD with a typical BEan slant. I am keeping my eye on the amount of carbs I consume each day but I'm not going to get hett up about it. The thing with doing it gradually like this is that the calorie count is obviously higher in, say, puddings, so I don't really want to have them because I like to save my calories until the evening
In short, Bean's BSD is purely an 800 calorie day. I don't have breakfast (so I'm getting my 16:8 effect) and then I try not to go over 300 cals for lunch (egg dishes and lots of protein and veg are great) so that I have at least 500 cals left for the evening! Soups are great - and salads of course.
I say go for it - and good luck!!
