One of my friends in work has NAFLD, she tries to stick to eating lots of fresh fruit and veg and drinks these little protein packets twice a day I think she said they are probiotics? Weirdly though she doesnt eat 3 meals a day but instead eats lots of smaller meals, she seems to be constantly nibbling lol She walks a massive amount if steps per day too for exercise. |

Intermittent fasting is beneficial. Like LT said, you can reverse diabetes 2 with that.
Is it a 5/2 diet Kizzy? (5 days normal diet and 2 fasting)? |

I wish i was disciplined enough for 5/2, its all or nothing im afraid even though I think intermittent fasting is a great idea for health especially for those with chronic illness.
Working shifts I have totally lost any concept of balance in my diet and have lived of snacks for months and months With any luck getting rid of my sugar and carb cravings will allow me to get back to basics and start enjoying a healthier diet going forward. I'm paying a yearly membership of our local pool/ gym next month to when this is all finished and I've dropped a bit of weight. feeling very motivated Thanks again all!

I'm a massive fan of good ol calorie deficit tbh.
It's the only scientifically proven way to lose weight, all these other things are basically fads and none are sustainable in the long term. |

Oop at my previous post.
Actually it can be a way of eating. A friend of mine always fasts on mondays for religious reasons Same with health motivated fasting. If you get into a routine and it makes you feel better theres nothing to say you cant carry on. Our ancestors didnt have food available all the time so it's not as if our bodies can't cope with that. |

I dont agree that fasting for periods of time throughout the day with a certain 'window's of time where you can eat is a healthy long term sustainable way to lose or keep at a healthy weight. |

Well that's not entirely true tbf, if you have a fasting window and you then 'break your fast' for that day, that's officially your breakfast

Intermittent fasting of 16/8 ( or my 19/5) involves not eating for 16 or 19 hour periods EVERY DAY .. it’s nothing to do with the 5/2 version where they simply reduce their calorie intake to 600 cals twice a week . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

My brothers son who nineteen and over 6 foot wants gain weight.
I think it’s down to a person metabolism, as another friend can eat for England and never gains weight. |

Historically that's where the word came from. But I sense they meant fasting overnight so it comes back to the same thing ie a morning meal

But starving the body (because that's what it is) for so many hours out of each day does not bode well for having a healthy relationship with food in the future/long term IMO |

You have eg 5 days of your full calorific allowance, say 2000 kcal and 2 days on 500. These may not be exact figures but you get the picture. Last edited by Twosugars; 05-02-2020 at 11:04 PM. |
