I copied my technique from this BBC doc: http://www.documentarytube.com/videos/eat-fast-and-live-longer-bbc-horizon-2012 http://www.documentarytube.com/videos/eat-fast-and-live-long... On my fast days (Tues/Thur/Sun) I eat a decent breakfast, but I don't pig out. Then I just don't worry about food until breakfast the next day (when breakfast tastes particularly delicious btw). To be honest, the biggest factor tied to failure for me is mood. If I'm in a poor mood, I'm 1000% more likely to feel like I can give in and grab lunch on a fast day. And then once I've had lunch... The next biggest challenge is other people, especially on Sundays. I might eat fruit salad at brunch, b/c it's both hard and weird to not eat in the company of eating friends. One thing I try to keep front-of-mind is how awesome it feels to wake up in the morning after a fast day with a sense of accomplishment. And how satisfying it was to need to take 2-inches off the waist of the suit I got married in. Success is addictive. Edit: I allow myself as much coffee/tea with milk as I feel I need. Yeah, it's not fasting, but it's not eating either.
