Does it matter what you eat on the fasting days, as long as it is 500 calories?
If I want to use it for losing weight is it best to start with Alternate Day fasting?
I have a lot of weight to lose! About 5 stone...I do not mind if it is not quick, but i want it to be effective.
Also, on non fasting days is it very important to count calories and have 3 meals, as in breakfast, lunch and dinner, as i never have breakfast really.
Is there a good time slot for the 24 hours? I was thinking of just doing midnight to midnight as such. But wondered if say something like 2pm to 2 pm would work better, so have a good late breakfast at about 11am , then have a 500 calorie evening meal, then the next day have nothing till after 2pm and have a good late lunch? But that does not seem like it would work right..since I have not a full waking period of fasting as such iyswim?
