I did intermittent fasting for more than 3 years after watching the Michael Mosely documentary about it. I found it was a really easy way for me to keep my weight down without having to worry about what I was eating.
Then we had a load of family weddings, parties, holidays etc and I was only able to do 1 day rather than 2 days a weeks. As a result I started putting on weight.
So I switched back to more healthy eating 7 days a week and haven't gone back to the intermittent fasting. I might do it again soon though because, according to the documentary, there are heart health benefits to it.
I found it easiest to eat nothing until I had a latte at 3.00 with an oak cake. Then I would have meal of around 350 in the evening.
I know a number of people who have done it though and everybody finds their own way. I also found it helped to have a big meal the night before the second fast of the week!
Good luck with the challenge!
@gilllianpearce, oh dear I've been there as well :D and once someone had a feast then I'd started putting on weight. I am going to see what's going to happen next week with this challenge. I will documented each day on my journal but I'd only do a weekly blockchain documentation since I don't want to be spammy. Maybe it's also best for me to include the meals that I eat during my fasting but for sure, I still be able to drink a lot of water which is okay.
I was big on coffee and with this, water is becoming my friend :D
Have a great day!
