Every night is a mini fast (that’s my understanding), so (minimally) how many hours overnight till you break fast? I do understand that you can stretch your overnight fast out. Can those hours be shifted around as long as I get minimum number of overnight fast hours in?

Is the TDEE number the maximum number of calories that could/should be eaten on non-fast nights.

Fast night is EZ to understand LOL

Hi,

The best thing to do is invest in one of Michael Mosley’s books. It’ll answer all your questions and more.

Good luck.

I already have a revised & updated version of the Fast Diet (bought brand new from amazon LOL) from about 3 years ago. Maybe I’m dense but I can’t find that info.

For me; there’s a lot of information that I’m not interested in, at least not at this time so it’s a long slog.

The most important question; maybe you could answer it is the overnight fast – I heard somewhere a minimum of 12 hours.

What plan are you following?
5:2 you fast for two days and eat normally for five.(TDEE) A fast really consist of eating 500 calories for a woman and 600 calories for a man in a 36 hour period. So for example your last meal on a Monday is 6pm. On Tuesday you eat 500/600 the required number of calories, some have two small meals some have one large meal. On Wednesday you have breakfast at 6am. So you have consumed 500/600 calories in 36 hours.
At the top of the page there is a ‘How it works tab’ give that a read.

Fast 800 pasted.

The New 5:2 Diet / Fast 800 Diet In a Nutshell
Choose whether you want to fast-track your weight loss with the Fast 800 Diet or jump straight into the new 5:2.
Boost the health benefits by eating within a restricted period of time. Start with 12-hour overnight fasts and increase to 16-hour fasts when you are ready.
Eat no more than two to three meals per day and don’t exceed the 800-calorie limit. Use meal replacement shakes according to your preference.
On your five non-fast days, eat healthy, low-carb meals inspired by the Mediterranean Diet. There is no need for calorie-counting, but keep the portion sizes small.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Doing the 5:2
Great 12 – 16 hr overnight was the answer I was looking for. I have the rest of the plan down I believe. FYI I’m using My Fitness Pal as my calorie counter @ 2000 calories a day, which is a little smaller than the top TDEE # from this site.
