My notes that didn't get posted 2 weeks ago:
Okay, I decided that this week is actually only just my 2nd week of my 5:2 diet only because I didn't do it right the first week. I consumed 1000 plus cal and exercised to get it down to 600. From my research this is not how it's done. As I understand it now. One may consume 500 (female and 600 (male) calories/day PERIOD. regardless of exercise. Well, I don't exercise as much on my "fast" days anyways. maybe a mile and a half walk with the dog. Therefore my first week doesn't count.
I did my fast Monday and Tuesday. I am finding it quote hard to stay within below 600 though both days I was a bit over (I am thinking) 600- mayhaps 640 or so. I think its the type of food I consume. I should really experiment which low calorie meals get me satisfied and not trigger cravings for more bites or a second serving!!!!...
Anyhoo, I woke up at 5:30, slept at 9:30 last night, staying out of the kitchen, hahahha, thinking of what to eat for breakfast. but as I started to prepare my breakfast , all the my early dawn cravings went away and I ended up with my usual granola, and greek yogurt plus 2 slices of Apple Walnut sourdough from Arcangeli Grocery, Pescadero. yummy. Then I was stuffed, I mean FULL.
Today, Inasmuch as I can eat just about anything NOT AS MUCH, I still want to stay low fat and pescetarian. Even when findings documnted in Eat Fast and live longer by Dr. Mosley suggests that are no difference in beneficial results in blood chemistry of those eating high fat and low fat on 5:2 diet during feed days. hmmmm. me staying on the safe side. hahahha. But then overshot my Calories Oh what to do.. Thanksgiving week treat? yeah sure...
CARBS FEST
pumpkins ravioli, mushroom couscous, beans and Arcangelli apple walnut bread
Now you know how I overshot my cal allowance!!!
