Hello there. I am Bettina, 58 years old. Mother of two, married, living with my husband and our two big dogs and a kitty near Strasbourg, in a little village, in a wonderful nature, beside a lake.
I did sports all my life, jogging. Weight lifting, now – my knees are greeting 🙂 – wandering, also weight lifting moderate. I began in January 2018 with Intermittent Fasting, I ate only once a day, and was fasting for 20 hours ca. I lost 10 kgs and felt wonderful.
I am looking for a compromise between 5:2 and my way. I don’t have a need of breakfast, and I would like to combine my fasting with the method of Dr. Mosley. The two books “Blood sugar diet” and “The 5:2 Fasting Method” were a big help.
My mother and grandmother suffered of diabetics and I am very glad, that with my fasting, sports and avoiding lots of sugar I am still healthy in my age.
It is difficult to ban all sugar and Pasta, etc. because my husband is tall, thin and consumes lots of cakes, biscuits, marmelade etc.
I don’t use sugar for me and I prefer salads, vegetables, olive oil. Eggs, berrys, nuts.
Perhaps I can combine my first meal at 13.00/ 1 pm, a fat greek yoghurt with some berrys, nuts, cocos pieces, little bit sesam. Our supper/evening meal normally we take at 6pm and later I will fast.
I am very motivated, I want to loose some belly fat. After the memopause it is heavier.
At least I have 1,73 m and a weight in the moment 80 kg and this is too much.
Sorry, English is not my mother language, but I do my best.

Have a nice day, Bettina.
