I've tried this a while back, and found it near impossible. The fasting days aren't too bad; hungry but with a lot of energy. The eating days however are killing; your breakfast is bound to be huge, after which you feel bloated and sluggish. The rest of the day I tried getting in sufficient amount of calories, which always failed, making you feel lazy and full all day. At the end, I usually managed to get in 130-140% of daily advised calories on the eating day, which starts taking it's toll after 5 or 6 rounds.
This kind of diet also ignores non-eating related properties of a meal, i.e. a time to socialize, take a break or a it just being a routine activity. The day that I'm not eaten felt pretty weird, it's surprising how strong the habit of eating is.
- cheez 7y agoIf you aren't already, try not eating carby breakfasts. Meat and eggs are my goto.
- dogma1138 7y agoIf you are doing alternate days or weekend fasting high or even moderate carb diet is a no go because of this exact reason. Pretty much high protein/fat and limit carbs to 0.5-1.5g per kg of body weight anything else would pretty much fuck you up. Since you are taking about double caloric intake on non-fasting days you also really need to pay attention to the GI of your carbs because otherwise your blood sugar levels will be spiking hard.
