Short answer – Yes, that’s exactly how it is supposed to work. It’s also how I’ve done it for the last 5.5 years.
Longer answer – within reason Yes. If you over compensate on the non-fast days by eating much more than you would normally do then clearly it won’t work. However my experience was that within a few weeks I naturally wanted to eat less on the non-fast days too – just smaller portions of my normal meals, and no calorie counting involved.
The fact that I only had to bother with working out a calorie count for 2 days was one of the key things which made me think I could follow this regime.
HighFive, the only reason to ‘count calories’ on Slow Days would be if you were not losing weight. Some people eat so much/so poorly [truth must be told!] on Slow Days that they don’t lose weight, even eating 500 calories 2 days/week. Then you have to look at what you eat on Slow Days and see if the calorie count [TDEE] is too high.
But for you it is early days. Try it for 2 weeks and see how it works for you. I’ve been at this for 5+ years and it works very well.
Good luck.
