[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm doing it--first time this week.  I'll let you know how it works.  Today is one of my 500 calorie days.  [/quote]

But why?  And I don't mean that to be snarky.  If the goal is to lose weight, and you can get through 2 days of only eating 500 calories...how can you not simply eat less for 7 days?  I guess everyone is different, but I don't think I could function on 500 calories.  And unless it did something like - made me look 10 years younger and that youthful look was enough to convince my husband he should clean the house for his young wife - I can't see it worth being miserable for 2 days every week.

Or is it just one of those short term - need a jump start on weight loss things? [/quote]

Aside from the other health benefits pp mentioned, I find it easy to fast for a day at a time - you are doing something temporary, and you know you can have a reward the next day. Whereas eating well 24-7 is incessant and offers no break, nothing to look forward to beyond a lifetime of self-denial.[/quote]

I agree with this. And I don't go overboard on my non-fast days, but I don't feel constantly stressed about keeping under a number of points or calories or whatever. It just sort of happens. [/quote]

Ditto.  [/quote]
