The Intermittent Fasting Diet or 5 2 Diet Diary \u2013 Week 2, Part 1 \u2013 How it went<\/h2>\n

Fast Day \u2013 Monday 22nd July<\/p>\n

Third day done and dusted and overall not too bad. We had a lie in, so that killed some time, we didn\u2019t get up until 10am, then got ready and did some work.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Matt seems to be doing quite well with the intermittent fasting diet<\/strong> or 5\u00a0 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!<\/p>\n

The Intermittent Fasting Diet\u00a0or 5 2 Diary \u2013 Week 1, Part 2 \u2013 What We Ate<\/h2>\n

We didn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

We both had a gorgeous ready meal, Sainsburys Be Good to Yourself Chicken Jambalaya,\u00a0 rice seasoned with tomato, red pepper, jalapeno chillies & marinated chicken breast (well worth the wait!) and came in at an amazing 392 Calories<\/p>\n

Later on I had a packet of Pom-Bear crisps (cheesy flavour) at 99 Calories and a well earned cup of tea.<\/p>\n

Matt had a packet of chilli flavour Snack-a-Jacks at 91 calories, plus 3 after eight mints and a cup of tea.<\/p>\n

Beckys total calories = 506<\/p>\n

Matts total Calories = 598 (wow, 2 calories spare!)<\/p>\n
