Breakfast

I had rice crisps with full fat milk and cup of tea

Fasting diet dinner and snack

So i had home made cottage pie which has been weighed and calculated to give fairly accurate calorie count of about 280-300 calories. For snack in the evening i had a bit of toast with small amount of jam for about 150 calories.

So my total calorie count today was about 570. I also weighed myself quickly and i am about 17 stone 10 lbs.

Fasting Day breakfast and lunch

So far i have only water and 2 plums for a total of 40 calories of my 600 calorie allowance for my fasting day, i will probably not have anything else until dinner at about 7pm apart from water.

Daily updates

I am thinking about posting daily updates saying what i am eating and drinking and exercise i get done, so those who are following this can see i am eating normally during the other 5 days, but i am curious if people would be interested.

Oh my weight when i unofficially weighed myself yesterday was 17 stones 12 lbs and when i started the diet i was about 18 stone 11 lbs which was about 4-5 weeks ago now

Type 2 Diabetics can be cured with this diet

Doctors, are now saying that some who have been doing this diet with type 2 diabetics have been cured and no longer have diabetics, this is for majority of type 2 diabetics taking this diet, the rest although not cured there diabetics is more under control and they need less insulin.

My guidance on intermittent fasting

NOTE:  Please be aware i am no expect only a scientist testing this diet on myself as i am seriously overweight and have a lot of inner dangerous fat.

So what does intermittent fasting do for it? it helps the body to start eat this fat up because it is the most rich in energy, as your body when fasting is needing energy it will eat the fat it has to get energy it requires.

So i am ideal weight would this be fine to do, as long as you eat healthy and eat properly during the 5 days you are not fasting yes this diet can help you.

I am under weight or i am pregnant can i do this diet? I would seriously recommended speaking to your doctors first, why do i say doctors because some are against it and some are for it, you need to balance out what they say and ask for a neutral opinion on it, but if you do it, be very very careful being underweight you could yourself, and being pregnant you could kill your unborn child

My own research so far on intermittent fasting

So what i have discovered is, even though in theory it should not work, it does work, the reason for this is even though you fast the day before, when you get to the normal day you do not overeat as i thought the body would do because it would be hungry.

The truth is the body is not hungry partially because it is eating your reserve fats and secondly because humans did not always eat 3 times a day 2500 calories in a day, this is more modern change to our society, where because we have access to so say unlimited food we basically eat 3 meals a day and eat our calorie count.

However prior to world war 2 we as humans never had the luxury of the amount of foods we have now, so the older generations had to be rationed and hard as it is to believe it is those people who have been living the longest because fasting actually helps you body repair itself and live longer, and if you are like me and have dangerous fat ie fat around your organs this diet helps eat it away unlike most other diets so helping your body recover from the abuse. In essence this diet is a way of detoxing your body of the badness that has built up over the years.
