Always a bonus!

Maintaining a stable weight is sometimes due simply to allowing your stomach to rest for a substantial period of time in line with the principle of intermittent fasting.

So, for instance, you could eat pretty much whatever you want from - say - 12 p.m. onwards, but then stop eating at 7 p.m. and refrain from eating until noon again the following day.

So, essentially, you create a time window during which you can be fairly self-indulgent; the fact that you're staying away from everything but water the rest of the time makes it relatively easy to shed weight and keep the weight off.

I speak from experience!

(n.b. it's not a good idea to do this if you're diabetic, as you'll need to keep your blood sugars stable!)

Ah yes, that would make things slightly more problematic. Well done on managing to stay on course! 🙂

Hey well done, that's really good and I'm so pleased for you. :)

thank you :)

It's all about what you do over a period of time I think Jo1964. You've found the art of balancing out an occasional 'binge' by getting back on the wagon. Well done for maintaining your weight!

Good new ! No binge here but I know I have put on some lbs since the stay at home started. I refuse to get on the scale til I think I am back close to normal.
