Don't you get realy hungry? Or is that part of the fun?

Embrace the hunger. Â Some of humankind's greatest inspirations were born on empty stomachs.

Made a little late night munch the oher day that was most nice.

Mixed equal quantities of brown sugar, butter and flour. Baked until a bit crunchy and still chewy. Sprinked on top of Greek yogurt and honey.

At first. Â Once your brain adjusts, you don't really notice. Â Eating patterns can be reset. Â The odd black coffee/green tea staves any pangs.

Aye, when I went from three meals a day to one, took my body about two months to adjust.

I only felt hungry on the first fast day. I fully expected to wake up ravenous the following morning but was surprised to feel absolutely fine. I just had a cup of tea and finally ate some yoghurt with honey about midday.Â

When you do eat again you eat more slowly and considered. Your body just seems to want something light. My plan was to pig out on the non-fasting days but that didn't happen at all. I eat less meat now and more veg and fruit. I'm not actively trying to be healthy but my brain seems to have changed the way I do everything. Everyone's noticed it. I highly recommend you try it for a few of weeks.

Watch this.

Lemon and sugar is the best pancake. Good work.

I'm in Bethune in northern France chowing down on beer and chips. My sister in laws patents own a foie gras farm and the picture is all the cans at the bottom of their store cupboard.

I just bought 18 bottles of 3 Mont.

I'm actually kind of intrigued. My main concern is that I'm already a little scrawny, so don't want to be losing any extra weight!

I read a thing about that Horizon thing on the BBC site, the guy wasn't actually fasting, just eating two light meals by the sound of it. Is that what you do, or is it just a total no food situation for the day?

igorgetmeabrain

Eating two light meals? Â I often eat little more than that on a normal day!

Wasabi peas.

Eaten too many too fast and have a burning feeling in my nose.

MadeÂ Jamie Oliver's Autumn MinestroneÂ tonight. I've made it a few times before, and it's fucking amazing. Seriously, well seasoned, and if you make sure you cook the beans beforehand in the method he recommends, you'll get an amazing smoky sweet flavour to your mix.

Biggest tip there is quite subtle - get the most expensive canned tomatoes you can afford. It makes all the difference. Don't skimp on the red wine or the pancetta either (get proper pancetta, not the cubed pre-packaged kind)

It makes a FUCKLOAD, seriously. That's tomorrow night's dinner and probably more sorted for me and mrs reg. Other pro tip - if you're grating parmesan, keep the rind and chop it up quite small. Add it to the soup at the stock stage. It melts down and you get a wonderful chewy joy when eating.

Brilliant recipe.

Very interesting. Â What isn't taken into account is adopting an IF regimen while training (in my case weight training). Â Also, the notion that you can eat whatever you want on eating days is folly. Â There are many ways to implement IF, he and his followers tried a few similar variations, some people didn't benefit and suddenly he proclaims it a sham? Â Bollocks. Â I and others here do it to good effect and suffer none of those problems. Â Berkhan would not be impressed.

Furthermore, the comments are worth reading.

Further furthermore, that article is over four years old. Â IF is more or less accepted now. Â Article is rot, in part.

Remember Skez that this is the ACTUAL EATING thread

Breakfast, peas, bacon, black pudding, spinach, kiwi, walnuts.

I know how old it is. Just someone mentioned the BBC thing, Horizon. And I thought it was misleading as it portrayed it as groundbreaking, revolutionary and new. I did say read deep. I thought you would've understood the phrase. I see the evidence for CR and IF. I agree with most of it. It's just dumb for me because I personally don't like it.

Can we get back to each to their own?

Ahar, I misinterpreted your read deep to mean the reverse, i.e. see the folly of fasting, heathens, through this article. Â I expect I thought this due to the initial dumb comment, thus colouring me view. Â In hindsight this would have required you not reading the comments section and you're no fool. Â My criticism above is aimed purely at the article and its author, not you wot posted it. Â I don't really think you're dumb Beano, quite the opposite. Â I'll think more, rant less in future eh.

oooh passive aggressive x's they are the best.
