I did intermittent fasting for more than 3 years after watching the Michael Mosely documentary about it. I found it was a really easy way for me to keep my weight down without having to worry about what I was eating.
Then we had a load of family weddings, parties, holidays etc and I was only able to do 1 day rather than 2 days a weeks. As a result I started putting on weight.
So I switched back to more healthy eating 7 days a week and haven't gone back to the intermittent fasting. I might do it again soon though because, according to the documentary, there are heart health benefits to it.
Yes I got so slim when I did it I only did two weeks and not even totally properly since I had fruit and coffee for breakfast then would eat from say 2-7 pm
People actually told me after they were worried about me as I went so slim can’t believe how much weight dropped off in a few weeks and each meal was the best meal I ever ate lol. I have a friend who looks amazing for her age and always had an amazing body and I notice she naturally intermittent fasts and would only rly snack on fruit and coffee then eat one big meal
I found it easiest to eat nothing until I had a latte at 3.00 with an oak cake. Then I would have meal of around 350 in the evening. I didn't lose any weight on it because I was eating plenty of cakes and chocolates on the days I wasn't fasting!
Hahah I don’t rly eat cake or chocolate unless it’s the odd raw cake
I find once you drop it for even two days your right back and it’s difficult to do it again lol but I think it is good for our system I’m going to try it again
