Oops...I think I'd find that worse as the fasting days you're only allowed 600-700 calories. I'm not sure how sustainable that is. And any less than 1000 net and your body actually goes into starvation mode. I think the weight loss on that diet may be harder to keep off.
If you do enough exercise in a day you actually get to eat relatively normally (for us); it's just that I have to pay more attention to portion size of pasta / rice / potatoes etc. My snacks are usually fruit too.
After yesterday's half hour walk and 15 mins on the cross trainer I consumed about 1050 net calories and ate a full dinner which is the meal I don't cut too drastically else I wouldn't sleep!
If I had scales I could say if it's working, but I don't. I assume it will be though.
My tummy is round, but it's not fat, it's how my muscles have split and formed. I'm hoping as I exercise that these tone up and go back together else there's no hope!
Tummy fat shouldn't be too hard to lose if you're careful, Dontmind. I really recommend My Fitness Pal for calorie control.
We just tried a food mugging on Amy. Now she can 'talk' she wakes us up by talking to herself about being hungry! We got her up, fed her and changed her in 18 minutes before putting her back in bed. We just had to get her up to wind her, but it's all been much calmer and quicker than normal. We didn't put any lights on in the rooms we were in either.
5.5 hours' sleep, give or take, prior to feed. See how we go now :-)
Back to sleep for me.
