It’s one week into Eat Stop Eat now and going well. I’ve completed two days of fasting, last Sunday and today.

This week’s Stop day(s)

Today (Friday) though was pretty tough. I was studying again and started getting pretty hungry around 3.30pm. The trick is to have a few things to do. I would also recommend holding off the caffeine until midday as having that speed up your metabolism just makes you hungry quicker.

Day 5: Lower Strength
Day 6: Rest/stretch
