I am going to order this book.....I do know that when I do cut way back on my food, I do lose weight. I will need to spread my meals out throughout the day though......When I drink more Water, I do eat less. I eat more, I drink less. Thank you for sharing this.

Laura-Ben, I have never eaten 2000 calories a day, I try to stick at around 1300 and eating healthy that's seems to be good. I'm Tlingit, really, you just don't want to eat as much the next day.

Also, to about spreading your meals out, they recommend that your body have at least one12 hour stretch in the day

Today I am eating 500 cals and going to lift weights. Tomorrow I am going to eat 1200 and run 3 miles. I will do this back and forth for one week, I'll keep you posted.

I checked out the Fast Diet and it says to eat 1/4 of your required cals on the fast days - since TDEE IIFYM says my required cals are 1545, that means that on fast days I would be eating only 386 calories!!

Hey, thought I'd share for those who are interested in yet ANOTHER venture to lose the regain. (smile) I told ya'll (yes, I'm southern!) about alternate fast days and that I started this week. Well, I ate normal Monday, Fast (500 calories) Tues, Normal Wed and today fast. After the first fast day, I weighed 4 pounds less! Yep, exciting but figured it was just Fluid ('cause truthfully something about this has me tinkling a lot more!). So after my Normal Wednesday, I weighed this morning - the four pounds is still gone! SHOUT! And I've found kinda a cycle that I think will work - I don't eat until around 10:30-11 ish for breakfast/lunch - So far what I've found that works (and there are lots of combos but its what i have on hand at work right now) is one packet of SF oatmeal - 110 calories and then about hour later 1 WW String cheese - 50 calories. Later, midafternoon I have some cantalope chunks or fresh fruit (around 30 calories). So going into dinner tonight (somewhere around 6:30-7pm) I'll have a big 330 calories to work with!!! Last time had grilled chicken tenderloin, green Beans (a lot cause they only have 20 calories for 1/2 cup) and fresh veggies salad (cukes, red, orange and yellow bell pepper with little lemon juice and olive oil/herbs) for basically 20-30 calories. I was HUNGRY and it tasted good but I could only finish about 1/2 the plate so Sleeve kicked in and I was good! Surprising part of this all food tasted great and I am enjoying being HUNGRY because it's real hunger! lol And knowing, TOMORROW is normal, it's all good! (By normal I mean don't pig out and eat mostly healthy. I'll let you know how it continues but I'm pleased with the last three days.

Of course, it's like everything else, it works if you do it right. Enjoy!

NannieG - are you eating 500 on your fast day? Because I went to the website and it said to eat 1/4 your regular intake on fast days. So, on your normal day, do you actually eat 2000 calories? My TDEE/IIFYM says I should be eating 1545 cals, 1/4 of that is only like 380 something.

Your TDEE is only 1545? (this includes your running 3 miles and weight lifting...right?) Mine is closer to 2000+ and I do a lot less exercise than you.... what is IIFYM? I found it.... If It Fits Your Macros

I find the Fast Diet very interesting, I might just have to look into it a little bit more. And I heard him say that he is in maintenance and only fasts once a week. I have seen similar things (the 8 hour diet) and it seems people have a lot of success with them.

[swizzly 901]

I'm totally going to try that 5:2 thing, and just eat my primal way on the normal eating days. Seems totally doable!!

Lets keep it on tues day... I like the sound of Tuesday, Thursday. They are boring sounding days anyway!

[coops 1,790]

Tuesday and Thursday it is then! Yea, I'm in the UK - S. Wales (not England...lol)

I'm rubbish with working out the time zones.... I'm sure there must be an app for it though!
