    FAST LANE

    Oct 06, 2019 7 minutes

    On the two fasting days, the 2-day a week diet allows for a 2100kJ/500-calorie total daily intake for women, and a 2500kJ/600-calorie total daily intake for men. Anecdotally, many people say they feel full of energy post their fast day. By giving your body a rest from digestion, you feel lighter and have more energy to direct into other things! Provided you don’t go crazy and overeat on the other days, it can be a terrific means of lowering your weekly kilojoule intake and chipping away at your fat stores. You can even swap your fasting days if you have a family dinner or special event – it’s all up to you to decide! Here we provide low-cal meals you can work into your fasting day calorie totals.
