First of all, I won’t bore you with posting about this every
week from now on.
Secondly, I will continue with trying to do a full 24 hours,
or as close as I can, at least once a week, and twice a week when I can. I definitely find that it is easier that way
for me, and having read the relevant parts of Michael Mosley’s book again, I
think there are advantages.
Thirdly, in spite of what some people are telling me, I
cannot find anywhere in the book that says you should eat more calories than
normal on the other 5 days. People in a
trial that was reported were asked to, but later on it says that many people
actually settle down to eating about 95% of what they had before and it doesn’t
say that’s bad. I am planning on having
two fasting days, three good days and two not even going to think about it days
Fourthly, I know my biggest problem is that I am not burning
off my calories because I get so little exercise. I can’t afford to join a gym,
and finding time for a regular slot is a problem when you are trying to live
three people’s lives instead of just one, as regards, appointments, needs to
get out of the house, etc. But I am
going to try and walk locally much more, just for the sake of it, so not
carrying shopping and so on. Honest.
Fifthly I am doing this for the health benefits and the
weight loss, while it would be welcome, is secondary to doing something about
what would seem to be all the typical signs of a woman with too much fat round
her vital organs.
When I feel like telling you anything else I will, but don’t
hold your breath!
