Very interesting documentary on telly on monday about the health benefits of a 5/2 fasting regime - I am not going to call it a diet.

I think I could easily do this as the days I go cycling I hardly eat anything, as I will be sick if I do!

600 cals on teh 2 x days off.

Discuss please . . .

interesting replies and experiences - fasting for two days a week is pretty easy for me - my challenge is to bring those two days together.

My Fasting days occur on my two intense training days at the VeloDrome which happen in the evening. If I eat anything more than a VERY light breakfast and a couple of pieces of fruit on those training days I have an overwhelming urge to puke it right up during the session in the evening and afterwards I am never hungry anyway - The sessions are VERY intense indeed - usually 2.5 to 3 hours with Welsh Cycling's fastest cycling talent.

I train on a Tuesday & Friday evening - so I am working out what to do about bringing the days together some how?!?!?!
