I too have developed a totally different way with food, and find that being hungry is actually not a bad feeling.<br /><br />I would find your diet regime quite tough. On the first couple of days I tried to skip a meal (missing breakfast works best for me), but I just got really hungry towards the end of the day. I saw a TV documentary about diet and hunger a couple of years back – and it found that protein is good for holding back the hunger pangs. So we always start a fast day with an egg and a couple of my rye crackers and we try to have a large protein element with each meal. I love the fact that I can eat almost unlimited amounts of veg, and I've no doubt that we are eating much better now.<br /><br />I've lost about 8lbs since starting, but I'm also limiting myself to 1820 calories on my non-fast days, which my handy little app has calculated will maintain weight loss at 1/2 pound per week. By the way, I googled the conversion rate for calories , and 1lb=3500cal. So if you're not eating more than 2000 cal on non fast days you can expect to lose just under 1lb per week.<br /><br />All the best<br /><br />LarsLars Porsenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804425934035727001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494277166502737372.post-11775260023947319002013-04-10T15:17:48.081-07:002013-04-10T15:17:48.081-07:00Hello Lars - Interesting to read your blog and I s...Hello Lars - Interesting to read your blog and I shall drop in on it again soon.. I'm on a plateau now (lost 9 lbs in the first 3 weeks and just a couple a week now) but carrying on with the diet because it makes me feel good and suits me well. Being able to eat food I've denied myself for years on the 'off days' makes me realise I don't really want them anyway. So it's changed my whole relationship to food. And I like the feeling of being hungry for a change! I have small muesli with skimmed milk for breakfast and Cornish honey then nothing until the evening which is lots of veg with a piece of fish or a couple of eggs. But I can't give up my tea without getting a headache, so my extra calories go on milk in my tea. All the best to you both.farwestwomannoreply@blogger.com
