Hi
I am brand new to this WOE. The fast days seem quite straightforward but I am confused by what I can eat on non-fast days.
The big selling point of this WOE in the book seems to be 'Eat what you like on NFDs as long as you fast properly on the FDs - only two days a week!'. Then I read on here about needing to stick within calorie limits (TEDEs? TEEDs?) on the NFDs. I really really don't like calorie counting and the general obsessivenes that comes with it, and on first reading I thought that this WOE did not involve lots of tedious calorie counting.
Am I reading this all wrong? Please educate me about what I can eat on NFDs! I have read the book, maybe I need to go back and read some more.
For background, I've been low carbing for years, but due to budgetary constraints I have to start eating more cheaply i.e. less meat and eggs. One thing I always liked about ieating this way was that I didn't have to count or measure or weigh anything - as long as I ate the right foods and ate to my appetite, and avoided junky carbs, it would 'work' in terms of weight loss. I don't intend to go mad on the NFDs, just would like to be able to eat a little more cheaply that low carb / high protein currently allows me to.
help!
