(We)I have finally cleared all the Christmas goodies last weekend and of course Monday’s weigh-in was a bit disappointing but I managed a fluid only fast on Monday which was scarily easy – much easier than staying withing TDEE yesterday.
I seem to respond well to FAST DAYS, so I might try and outsmart my brain and do 3 down days a week of varying calories – maybe one very strict one (fluid only), one around the 800-1000cals and the other one around 500-600. It is almost as if the fact that I decide it is a fast day, my brain shuts down the WANTING which is what most of my eating motivation seems to be. I am very rarely really hungry.
I have to become cleverer than me.
@fastfastslow – I agree fruit (but not fruit juice) is allowed in the lenten challenge. For the past 20 years my breakfast consisted mainly of fruit and has always played a big (and healthy) part in my life. On fast days, I don’t eat fruit and I feel I have already cut back drastically.
