FastDay Friends: Top tips for counting calories!

View this email in your browser

Hi there errantbehavior!


I don't know about you, but I like to keep things simple! A quick and easy home-cooked meal on a fast day is perfect, something I can make time and again and know what to throw in it without having to weigh or measure. The problem is, it's easy to become complacent and before I know it, there's a little bit more of this or that being thrown in and the calories creep up and up. 

Just as important as weighing and measuring yourself regularly to keep on the right track, you should be careful to weigh and measure your fast day food too - it's surprising how quickly a 'little extra' here and there can add up! I recently got a set of smart food scales to help keep tabs on my intake and I have to say I think they're really useful. I like them so much that I managed to arrange a discount code just for FastDay members, in case any of you would like  a set too!  See below for details :)



Mary-Ann lost over 20% of her body weight with 5:2!


"At the age of 14, weighing a slightly heavy, but athletic 130lbs, I stopped eating. This lasted a year, after which I weighed 75lbs. At some point it hit me how scary it was being so underweight, and I started eating again. I ended up at ~150lbs and stayed that way for many years..."
