Hahahahah! that #FatMustFall hashtag is our most important cause in life! Viva!!! 

Hie hie I agree BBO 

BBO, I've a question for you about the fasting days? Do you keep it vegetarian, or do you add some protein as well? 

Leksie my fast days evolved into No-Food Fast Days. I only consume 23 calories from a cup of green tea and 2 cups of coffee. When I first started with fasting I kept it to eating 600 calories and I used to make meals using foods that offer big volume in size but low calories so I'd make bowls full of food using foods like cabbage, lettuce, cucumber, butternut, beetroot, brinjal, mushroom, etc. For meat I'd choose the lowest calorie meat like steamed chicken breast which I'd shred and make a chicken salad using lettuce, cucumber, tomato, Cross & Blackwell Trim Original and some Nando's sauce. It really does help to plan those meals ahead so you can play around with what quantities of each food you can use to make your meal. I also found that if I didn't have lunch and just had a supper I could make one big meal with more meat to add up to 600 calories instead of making 2 meals and splitting that 600 calories. Have a look at my journal. I posted recipes as I went along so that can give you some good ideas on what sort of meals to make. There's so much flexibility so you can easily make up a meal that will work for you. 

Thanx!! 

I agree with BBO! I try and reach atleast 400Cal on my fast days, but choose foods that has super low carb values. I try and not consume more carbs than 50 in total for the day although my cal reaches close to 500. I try and keep my carbs low on non fast days also, just increase my fats and prots to reach my cal requirements. Looks for foords that you can eat allot of that wont add allot to your carbs. Like caulisoup with a bit of beech smoked ham and sour cream & chives you will feel like you are over eating but you will drop on the scale. 

Thanx for the tips guys. I appreciate!!
