i have been reading this thread with interest as i am interested in giving it a go but wonder what impact fasting on the cycle days will do.

last week i started to commute to work, and managed 3 days with 3 back to back, this week i am doing 4 days with them all back to back, and from next week, will do 5 days.

each way i do about 7 miles so nothing major compared to some. also i am a large guy so wondering for my fast days if i should be aiming for 700 cals, and measure my progress. if i dont loose after a week i will drop 50 cals.

any thoughts?

thanks in advance :biggrin:

It shouldn't really be any problem.

Don't forget that the original idea of this 'fasting diet' was for its direct health benefits and any weight loss is more of a side effect. Ideally, you would keep the 2 fasting days for those health benefits.

It seems quite quaint using the word 'ordered' with respect to digital downloads! (Like you have to wait 3 or 4 days for the book to arrive.) :thumbsup:

My sister got a Kindle for Christmas and I was showing her how to browse the Kindle store. I suggested that she choose a book so we could make her first purchase. She picked a Nigella cookery book and we made the order, then she sat back and switched the TV on. I was surprised that she wasn't more curious about the book so I asked if she was looking forward to reading it. Oh yes, as soon as the postman turned up with the parcel, she would be pestering me to load the book up for her! :laugh:

I passed her the Kindle and showed her that it had already downloaded. The look on her face was a joy to behold! Some people just don't seem to grasp how technology works ... :whistle:

I do a commute of 11 or 12 miles round trip and I find it makes no difference. I do however have a light lunch and skip supper so I'm not cycling home on empty. I don't run on my fasting days though. That might be a bit much I think.
