Dieting.

Isn't it a bore.

I've tried many diets over the years and whilst not vastly overweight I'm always longing to lose them few extra pounds and keep them off.
The problem I seem to have is I hate restriction. I am always wanting to eat what I can't have.
Don't get me wrong the diets work for a short whilee but inevitably I seem to put the pounds back on.

Anyway, I recently read a book called 5:2 The fast diet. Basically it means you have 2 fast days of 500 kcal and the rest of the time you can eat what you want. The health benefits of this diet seem to be amazing too.

Today is my first day and I thought I would share my experience with you. Today is a fast day. I've decided to save my 500 kcal till tea time. I figured if I do it this way I won't get hungry again during the day and I have my tea to look forward to.

It's 11.41 GMT and I am hungry. It's ok though, I am keeping myself occupied and I am about to go out to work. Bikeability will keep me focused on children and not on how hungry I am. I believe the trick is that I need to keep my fluids up to stave off the hunger. I am reliably assured that over time, with practice, I will feel less hungry on the fast days.

Wish me luck !!
