hi @katab! *waving* YES! ADF (alternate day fasting) is EODF (every other day fasting) (i like to use both sets of letters so peeps will be able to identify with at least one and it helps me remember them) – funny story @ceebee59 , i will tell you in a mo) which is not 4,3 becauuuuuuuuuussseeee…… there are seven days in a week ( i do believe ;-). so its not alternative to do 4, 3 or 3, 4. i could be wrong. i am bonkers after all. you just do whatever makes every other day! mon, wed, fri, sun,tues,thurs,sat,mon, wed etc etc etc… unless events come up and its a back to back job or you just give it a miss. this isnt gonna rule my life, (hello Christmas , my favourite time of year by a country mile!)
…as for not achievable long term, i am sure that might well be true, but i am here to lose two stone then do a maybe 6, 1 for life. i want to lose weight now. thats all. but i like doing it so i will keep in trim after the first hurdle won of the battle is won., then change to a lower gear i think. i actively enjoy this. i NEVER thought i would say that and not be fibbing.
@ceebee59. ok. my story. i was on some forum looking for a diet that would suit me, and there were helpfully listed all these diets. but by initials only. was it ‘low carb friends’? or another one? ‘3 fat chicks?’ i cant recall. i didn’t write i was reading. but i was LOST i tell you. they just used initials all the time. like this:” i considered doing the LSHDUK but having been doing LCHF then switching to LC with HIIT and the turning toward HSIIOJ and having done the JF fasting and then after readying WDWGF the JUDDD i had disguarded NANYME) i decided the best thing was to go back to WW and count calories”. i was LOST! it was another language! it wasn’t helpful cos i couldn’t understand their information so i couldn’t learn! plus it was mostly about low carb (which i think is pretty good) but on my meds for my migraines (which though i am in day 6 of my 2nd in two months, are still so so so much better that i am on my knees thanking the Lord) unfortunately counter-indicate a low carb diet because of the pressure on the kidneys. so that’s out. but i can eat more healthy ones carbs. at least i can sometimes leave the house. God be praised.
i had to tell you that @ceebee59 re the initials decoding. i love games too. except that time. i said to my other half- ooh i love decoding. he said,’ it looks like a total pain is the ‘grass’ to me’
so my third fast this week. bring it on.
right, and lastly, because this is getting biblical, my famous fast day soup recipe: (it is a real goodie)
175 g mixed veg cut up into small chunks (if buying a frozen veggie mix, buy one with no added anything. ingredients should list just the names of the 12 veggies. they do respectable ones out in italy- i am sure they do in USA and UK)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
100g borlotti/kidney/butter/etc beans (straight no sauce ie. baked beans. just beans then strain, out of a tin)
1/2 or whole stock cube (veg or chicken or whatever you like)
and however much water you like water, i like it wet but he likes it quite stodgy. both are good.
half tsp flour to thicken. (but the beans are in fact enough to make it thick enough)
serves one. so double for two and freeze in individual bags.
£1.10 per food pr fast day.
DELICIOUS (tuscan bean soup)
if you want to have it on a non fast day add chunks of pancetta and about 200 cals to total.
does make it nice but as i have found -not essential.
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD POST A RECIPE FOR FRIENDS ON A FORUM. HAHA. YAY ME FOR BREAKING OUT. it’s cos i like you all. i think this groups is fab, i am comfortable here x
