As a diet. Seems like an easy way for me to cut my calories in half. I'm an all or nothing girl quite often...not like I binge on the 'on' days, I just eat to satiation (2000 calories or so). On the 'off' days, I have some lemon juice in water and an apple if I get too dizzy. I'm usually fine though. It's psychological- I can push off the hunger and look forward to eating well the next day!
I'm running about 5x a week, 4 miles or so. Plus a yoga or pilates or firm DVD when I can fit it in. I think this is healthy. I read that it's a good way to keep the metabolism from crashing. Anyway, I find this way easier than trying to eat 1300 or less calories everyday. I've kinda gotten fat-ish again, and f*&^ this, I want to get back to my 'fighting weight' once and for all.
So, anyone else heard of this? For those of you more informed about nutrition and whatnot, does this seem like something I can sustainably do until I lose twenty pounds or so? Thanks! In any case, it definitely seems to work so far (has only been a few days though).
