Day one back on shakes started with a positive. I have dropped another 2lbs so am now just one and a half stone away from my goal weight. As I posted I reached normal BMI the 11/2 stone is my own personal "I want to be that weight" goal, and will take me to around the middle of a normal BMI rather than at the high end as I am now.
Shake one was Atkins 3g carbs. Dinner will be a Slim and save shake 13g carbs and supper another Atkins 3g carbs, so total carb intake on shake days will be 19g. I am not testing BG today, but yesterday I did a few to see how I was going into this, and I am back to my safe low figures I like.
Today, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday are shake days this week, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday next.
[edit to add] Day one went pretty smoothly, although I did feel more hungry than I can remember when I did the ND properly last time. I did go to bed with a growling tummy, but soon fell asleep. I did decide to check my BG last night, and +2 hours after my last shake I was 5.5. No major reduction is my usual numbers, but I didn't really expect any, not on the first day.
Today (Tuesday) is normal food, shakes again tomorrow. So far I have not felt the desire to eat more than I would normally, which was the same result I had with 5:2 fasting. For me it seems, a day of calorie restriction, is not a trigger for more food the following day.
