The Intermittent Fasting Diet or 5 2 Diet Diary – Week 2, Part 1 – How it went
Fast Day – Monday 22nd July
Third day done and dusted and overall not too bad. We had a lie in, so that killed some time, we didn’t get up until 10am, then got ready and did some work.
I think it must have been the hottest day of the year on Monday, I took my little dog out for a walk later on and even though I was walking slowly I was sweating as much as I do when I go for a run.
I must say, I did feel a bit light headed and felt a bit wobbly, but drank plenty of water and soon felt a bit better.
Matt seems to be doing quite well with the intermittent fasting diet or 5 2 diet. Again he felt hungry come the afternoon, but that soon came and went, that was it really, he just gets on with it!
The Intermittent Fasting Diet or 5 2 Diary – Week 1, Part 2 – What We Ate
We didn’t have anything to eat again until dinner. We try and wait as long as possible, so it was 7:30pm by the time we had our meal.
We both had a gorgeous ready meal, Sainsburys Be Good to Yourself Chicken Jambalaya, rice seasoned with tomato, red pepper, jalapeno chillies & marinated chicken breast (well worth the wait!) and came in at an amazing 392 Calories
Later on I had a packet of Pom-Bear crisps (cheesy flavour) at 99 Calories and a well earned cup of tea.
Matt had a packet of chilli flavour Snack-a-Jacks at 91 calories, plus 3 after eight mints and a cup of tea.
Beckys total calories = 506
Matts total Calories = 598 (wow, 2 calories spare!)
