I am trying a new way of eating, the 5:2 diet. If anyone else has tried this, I would be interested in what you think about it and how it worked for you. (I previously tried IF that limited the period during each day that I could eat, but that doesn't really work for my life I found out.) I am in the homestretch of my second fasting day this week. I was worried about the 500 calories they recommend for the fast days, but I have managed that really well. I also expected to wake up ravenous after the first fasting day, but I was able to eat moderately that day. As long as I steer clear of the notion that I can eat anything and everything on those days, I may be able to make this work for me.
Granted, it has only been a few days, but there are things I like about this. When fasting, I might crave something and can tell myself that I could have it tomorrow. The chances that I will still be craving it tomorrow are slim. If I do eat too much, I can always add another fast day to the week if I feel the need. I like that I do not have to count calories during the non-fasting days. I plan to keep logging all my food for the time being, just to keep myself in check.
I have been exercising on fast days. The gym was no problem the first day, but I ended up going on an impromptu hike this afternoon. I felt fine, although I probably burned as many calories as I would eat all day. I have mixed feelings about that and I will continue to monitor the way my body reacts to this whole situation.
