    If you've been advised not to follow 16 hour fasting, I'm guessing you'd like to spread your calories throught the day, rather than save them for one reasonable dinner.

    Breakfast - eggs. One boiled egg is 70 calorie, scramble one whole egg and some egg white with a sliced mushroom and some spinach for about 100.

    Lunch - cupasoup. There are lots available for under 100 cals, I have some that come in around 50.

    Dinner - prawn stirfry using zero/ shiritaki noodles.

    Snacks during the day - celery and carrot sticks, small satsuma, dulse (dried seaweed) if you can stand it!

    it's a great way for some people to justify binge eating

    and a great way for a lot of people to lose a pound a week

    So is eating the 7:0 diet, where you show moderation and self control

    OMG, the B.S. really knows no bounds in this thread.

    Any weight loss routine requires moderation and self control, you pompous know-it-all.

    Please start here:

    http://www.52fastdiet.co.uk/medical-conditions-f30/topic710.html

    It's a great forum filled with people actually living the lifestyle. You will doubtless find the information you need.

    I'd like to know who recommended you don't do 16:8 and whether it was evidence based.
