That baked porridge..oh my.
I’m not a porridge fan, although my mate does a wicked one in a thermomix. I’ll eat that, but I could do Gordon’s one I think.
More of a dessert…I lovvvvveee desserts!

Loved the liberty’s pics too. We are going to England for chrimbo and hope to take the kids to there, harrods and Hamleys.
Good luck meg with the fasting. Your photos are brilliant.

Hey Lizac, congrats on doing so well! I only eat in the evenings because it’s easier for me to say “I’m not eating ANYTHING until I get home from work” than “Okay I’ll eat a little bit here and here and…” It makes me go crazy. Instead I just don’t worry about food for most of the day and it leaves room for a larger meal in the evening!
You said “I know I’ll need to eat morning”. How do you know this? Have you every really tried? A lot of people think they “need” breakfast but when they skip it for a while it turns out they do just as well without it.

I am trying the 5.2 with my husband. We are both 49 and have always eaten really well and exercised at a high level. I’m a health professional and was blown away by just how much sense that intermittent fasting makes. I have studied diabetes and have been thinking along these lines for many years. My husband has a genetic link to type 2 diabetes and has hypertension and high cholesterol even though like Dr Mosely appears to not be overweight. He is developing a bit of central fat (the dangerous stuff). Remember that pre diabetes is often not detected, we found out from a routine eye test and minor changes to his blood vessels.
Anyway he has done 2 weeks and lost 2kg all from his belly. He loves the simplicity of it and being a determined character he likes the challenge. We like to exercise hard on the fast day morning to push into empty sooner, small protein breakfast and try to have at least 12 hours before eating again, personally I think the gap with no food is important to spend longer in fat burning zone. Day after we do a long steady walk to really empty the tank and stress the system.
I find it tough going and I do cheat a bit as I’m not that strong willed. I eat 600-700 on fast but still lost 2kg in 3 weeks.
I’m going to be good next week and try to stay on the 500. Headaches tend to get the better of me and I can’t take pain killers on an empty stomach.
I’m amazed at the results and how it’s changing peoples lives. We’ll done everybody and keep up the good work

You are probably right about fluid intake. I just like to think its my brain growing as it’s supposed to do when fasting!!!!!
That’s what I tell my husband anyway.
