Well done arbed01 you did it !
Now you know when your low point is you can prepare for the next one. Simple things like a large glass of water or hot drink or even ensuring you are really busy at that time can work. I take a handful of mange tout and sugar snap peas with me in case of emergencies and if i don’t need them they just get used for dinner instead.Eating them raw makes you chew them properly and quickly fills you up. A friend of mine has an emergency apple.There is always the chance that next time will be just that bit easier.
Anyway well done and enjoy the day knowing your body is that bit healthier today than it was 24hrs ago.
Hiya … I started yesterday and went to bed hungry last night convinced that I would be having a “horse and sauce” for breakfast this morning!!!
Nope instead, cup of tea and some Belvita biscuits and have kept relatively “normal” all day. Am already loving this way of eating and now looking forward to the weight loss as, like you, i also want to lose 3 stone.

Just promise me if ever you do have to eat that emergency banana DON’T beat yourself up.Smile instead.
It happens and some days don’t go to plan.
It was a non fast day for me yesterday and it was a bit of a celebration event within my family so i ate way more than i ever should have done but hey ho its fast day today and i have no plans to step on the scales for a while so keep chilled, best of luck and pat yourself on the back if that banana becomes part of breakfast tomorrow. 🙂
Yesterday was my first day. I don’t think I did that well. I had a granola bar and water for breakfast and another granola bar and more water mid-afternoon. For dinner I ate baked cod (breaded) with veggies which included potatoes. I don’t eat chicken or meat but I do eat fish and seafood. I need help with menus.

Pick a 24hr period that suits you and within that period eat 500 cals in either one go or two.
I too started my fast at 7.30pm weds night, my last mouthful, so we will break our fasts at breakfast time Friday.
Don’t eat it in more than 2 goes as that defeats the whole object of this way of eating. Its not about just eating 500 calories in one day its about going for as long as you can without eating to give your body optimum time.
Have another read of the book if you are not sure. In particular the first chapter and the sub heading “Is it just calories?”
“…all the time you are eating your insulin levels are elevated and stuck in fat storing mode.”
Makes you think doesn’t it ?
