Eating today, can't quite decide what to have.


Sorry to hear about your poor back PP, hope you feel better soon.

I'm fasting today too. First time since I put my back out as I'm now cutting right back on my pain killers. Feeling pretty hungry this morning which is unusual for me but it's probably because my body has now got used to me having a breakfast every day with my tablets. Hopefully it'll pass soon!

Chickvic, the HB kebab sounds amazing...is that in the first book or the second one??

Sorry to hear about your back PP, the kebab is in the second book - really lovely and only 361 calories! Even my children thought it was like the real thing - high praise indeed from fussy teenagers!

Hi guys,
I bought 6oz sirloin steak... but on my Fitnesspal app the information on amount of calories in it vary completely!!
Where do you get your information?

It looks like about 250 cals for 6oz of steak looking at MFP - does that seem reasonable to you guys? I guess if you're worried you could eat half and have the rest for breakfast?!

I thought I'd have plateaued (sp?) after eating lots at the weekend but I fasted yesterday and actually lost another lb!
BUT I won't do that again, I stupidly ate too much on monday and felt sick, and was so glad to give my belly a rest yesterday. My body seems to prefer simple, plain food.

Luck to today's fasters

First weigh in today and I have lost 4lb in the past week. Happy with that

Fasted Wednesday then Monday. Next fast tomorrow.

Anyone else find their body feels very warm the day after a fast? I am wondering if it is a side effect of the fasting or whether my menopause kicked in last week and it is just a freaky coincidence lol :undecided

Thanks, I have to say I have searched the internet and everyone who uses FitnessPal creates recipes which have ridiculously low amount of calories for meat. I have just found a recipe where 200g of chicken breast is counted as 150 calories (taken from my fitnesspal of course), which every other website disputes...

I've ordered the 5;2 diet cookbook from Amazon, so hopefully there will be some real checked facts..

The point is that I am trying to find meals that are low in calories and I can at least chew on it for 10 mins or so, the point isn't to get 2 fork fulls of meat and starve for the rest of the night.

PS: 250 cals is good, but I am also getting search results with lot more.

Google itself give 414 Calories - Spark people 386.

Thank you, it's slowly getting better! I tried to fast on Monday but ended up having to give up and take some painkillers so back on it today and so far so good!

Ah, I have the first HB dieters book and I love it, I must invest in the second one as the kebab does sound amazing!

Sirloin steak is 213 calories per 100g so a 6oz steak would contain about 400 calories.

Right that's it after reading the whole thread (phew) I have decided to give this a go.

Hi everyone..my name is Webitha and I am a fatty, just weighed myself and I am 11st 6lbs, and I have to do something as I have to give up the ghost on my size 12 jeans *sobs*, all I want to do is lose a stone and generally improve my figure and overall fitness.
So I will be here most days reading and generally keeping up my motivation, I have even started to exercise :j
also took measurements and the obligatory "before" pics.

Heres hoping that I will see some improvement before 20th Sept.
Wish me luck.
