At this point, scientists have only examined whether the diet works when eating high fat foods. Results from this high fat study indicate that people can lose just as much weight while eating high fat foods on fast days and non-fast days, as compared to eating low fat foods on these days. Whether these same […]
Yes, it’s fine if you drink alcohol on your non-fast days. However, we generally advise against consuming alcohol on the fast day since 1-2 drinks may account for your entire 500-1000 calorie allowance on that day. Since alcohol is completely deficient in nutrients, it’s much better to eat actual food on the fast day.
Yes. In a recent study, scientists showed that normal weight and slightly overweight people can use the diet to drop the last 2-5kg, and achieve their ideal weight. Just keep in mind that as you are close to your ideal weight, your weight loss will likely be quite slow (about 0.45kg per week). To speed […]
Yes. At least to start with. Once you get used to eating the right amount for your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure), you’ll be able to ease up on counting, but it’s a good idea to count calories even on your non-fast day so that you can ensure you’re not going overboard, especially in the […]
Our research shows that people don’t (or maybe even can’t) binge on the non-fast day. The two day fast is equivalent to 25% of a person’s energy needs, the three day fast is equivalent to 50% of a person’s energy needs and the partial day fast is equivalent to 80% of a person’s energy needs. […]
One of the things people like best about this diet is the freedom to eat whatever they want on non-fast days. The ability to feel normal (not deprived) every other day may also help people stick to SFD for longer than daily calorie restriction. So, feel free to enjoy the foods you love on non-fast […]
It takes about 1-2 weeks to adjust to intermittent fasting. Most people report hunger and irritability during the first couple weeks, but this subsides quickly. Try your best to not give up on the diet during this initial period… it WILL get a lot easier!
BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It’s a widely used way of calculating the optimum weight range for your height. BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in metres squared. It can help give you an idea of whether your weight is in the ‘Healthy’, ‘Under Weight’, ‘Overweight’ or ‘Obese’ […]
It’s worked out as an average activity level over the space of a week. And it’s better to underestimate than to overestimate. For example, if you spend most of the day sitting down, but you exercise a little, opt for ‘Sedentary’ rather than ‘Light Activity’ and you’ll get the best result for optimum weight loss.
TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure. It’s a way of calculating how many calories you burn each day, just by how you live, what you do and what your activity level is. Calculating your TDEE will help you ensure that you’re eating the right number of calories on both fast days and non-fast days.
As long as you are eating nutritious food this will not be a concern, however, you may want to consider taking multivitamins if in doubt. If you are worried about not getting the recommended intakes of vitamins or minerals while doing intermittent fasting, we would strongly suggest taking a multivitamin/mineral supplement on both fast days […]
