It was one of those rare days when the Gods were conspiring with me rather than against me! Teresa, I think there is a lot of truth in what you say, to be honest I think at this stage, and I am less than a week into this diet, I think I am pursuing it purely because I don't want it to beat me! I had an up day on Saturday and was out on the town on Saturday night, yesterday was a down day and with a little bit of a hangover it ...http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlMon, 18 Aug 2008 09:10:04 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlQuoting: brendaroseHad my usual breakfast of weetabix and banana. I think if my Down Day had ended last night before I went to bed I would have gorged but because I got to sleep that made all the difference. I'm a firm believer in giving yourself permission to eat - if you are a food lover, being on a diet and counting stuff (calories, sins, points, whatever) only makes yourself start thinking about what you can't have. It also means that we tend to follow the diet until we get t...http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlThu, 14 Aug 2008 15:52:31 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlBrenda, is that really a photo of you? You look about 15!http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlThu, 14 Aug 2008 14:41:00 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlWell first Down Day over and I am on a Up day!!! I've got to admit it was hard last night, particularly trying to sleep but when I woke up this morning I wasn't hungry at all. Had my usual breakfast of weetabix and banana. I think if my Down Day had ended last night before I went to bed I would have gorged but because I got to sleep that made all the difference. Don't intend to splurge today, just eat normally, and at the moment it seems unlikely, but you know yourselves, as the ...http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlThu, 14 Aug 2008 09:08:51 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlKeep going Brenda - you've got to give it a fair go. And then let us know how it goes.http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlWed, 13 Aug 2008 21:12:03 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlI don't think that my body would cope with eating too few calories. One coffee in some of these coffee shops and that's you're lot.http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlWed, 13 Aug 2008 21:06:56 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlI agree Teresa - I couldn't be trusted! http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlWed, 13 Aug 2008 20:20:30 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlI don't think this would work for me - I might just abut cope with the low day, but ifI was given a free reign to eat whatever I wanted, then I would more than make up for it on an up day!http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlWed, 13 Aug 2008 20:15:20 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlWill do, if I last!

So you starve one day and the next you eat what you want? Doesn't one cancel out the other? Well good luck with that one, keep us posted.http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlWed, 13 Aug 2008 14:49:04 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlHad my first item of food today - a banana - for lunch. To be honest I was less hungry before I "indulged"! Feeling hungry now, although this is probably due to the time of day, I am always a bit peckish and sluggish at this time. I have a whole 300 calories to play around with for dinner so think I am going to have curried veg - onion, mushroom, courgette and peas. This is a fave dish anyway and should keep me within my limits...http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlWed, 13 Aug 2008 14:21:10 +0000http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlHi there, have decided to give this diet a go for the next week anyway. I have n't much weight to lose, but I have hit a bit of a wall with my usual eating habits in the last few weeks, mainly down to self indulgence admittedly. The diet involves eating about 400 - 600 calories on a down day, and eating what you want the following day without watching calories. I have been reading up quite a bit on it and the science behind it intrigues me. If anyone else has done this diet and has any wor...http://www.timeshealth.co.uk/5_1210_0.htmlWed, 13 Aug 2008 11:50:32 +0000
