I've read and heard that by not eating (even for a day or two), your body can go into starvation mode and then store everything you eat as fat? What are your thoughts on this?

The fact that you eat only lunch/dinner or even only dinner and don't lose weight means you move very little. So in order to lose the excess weight (you can!!!) you need to decrease the calories. A lot. You will be eating very, very small amounts of food. There is no secret, unfortunately... There is no magic in the diet.

You just need to find a way of eating less that work for you. Here are two suggestions. 1. without Eat Stop Eat: - find what foods you can eat very little of (in terms of calories) and feel full. for example a two eggs (high fat foods satisfy hunger) or lots of celery (fiber keeps you full). it doesn't matter the food, what matters is that you consume few calories. - then eat your normal small lunch and eat a small dinner. 2. with Eat Stop Eat. - eat the way you normally eat - once-twice per week skip lunch (drink coffee or green tea - it helps fight hunger) and have a small dinner. That's it! Nid,

Remember, the whole idea of the ESE approach is to stop obsessing over food/diet. On your second question - yes, you don't overeat, and don't tracj calories. Basically, Brad's message is to eat normal and varied food, but try to enjoy it also. Experience the taste, experiment with different vegetables, different recipes, different spices and herbs - as opposed to stuffing yourself with junk food. Hope that helps! Yavor p.s.

Also if your not restricting calories on the non-fast days am I right in thinking on those days you dont fast your supposed to just eat enough but dont track calories and dont overeat? Thank you Hi Yavor two questions if thats ok, first, what are you thoughts on intermittent fasting while also slightly restricting calories on the other days you dont fast?

Thank you

What I like about this one is that it is very simple. Cheers, Yavor Benny,

You wake up, have breakfast at 11, go through your day and the next day have breakfast again at 11 and continue your day normally. Simple stuff :) p.s. I am planning an article on the right time to start/end a fast, etc. Yavor Nate,
