Hey ladies, just wanted to share this article I came across today. I'm sure it would be appreciated in the wider forum but I don't feel like making a new thread.
The "Food Babe" Blogger is Full of Sh*t
I can't say I've vetted either side of the story, but it's just a good reminder to do your own research before jumping on the latest food trend. I had never heard of her before reading it, but I was familiar with almost every single "nutrition lie" mentioned in that article. (In quotes because I didn't know what else to call them and I also don't know for a fact that they are lies!) Which just goes to show how far and wide her reach is.

Anyway, yesterday's 500 calorie fast went well, though I may have gone over a bit. I had to cook my boyfriend's dinner, and my lunches for the week, so I got to nibbling..whoops! My workout wasn't great - I once again wasn't able to finish my run, but that may have more to do with me getting over a sinus infection than with my fast. Will try again today if I have time. I've got less than 2 weeks until my first 5K and I am no where near ready.
Georgette - Good luck today! It will be hard and your tummy will fight you, but just stick with it. Drink water, chicken broth, even a diet soda if you need to. Eventually your tummy WILL stop rumbling! FWIW, I've rarely gone to bed feeling hungry on a 500 calorie day (I eat my 500 calories around 6PM). You can do it!!!
