Day 5 of my Meal replacement Diet prior to surgery… and still going OK…
I find that I am not hungry at all in the mornings (which is not that unusual for me anyway) so rather than forcing myself to eat breakfast when I don’t really feel like it (and yes… I do know it is “the most important meal of the day)) I have decided to incorporate the 16:8 Diet – which involves only eating within an 8 hr period each day – and then fasting for the remaining 16. This sounds pretty nasty, but actually works in pretty well with my eating patterns anyway…. I am now only eating between Midday and 8PM – which is not too bad …
Now I know that the idea for the OptiFAST VLCD is to reach “Ketosis“… and I am not really sure if/how 16:8 may impact on that… but I have so far lost another 2KG in the last 5 days… so can that be a bad thing ??
