I like this regime because it isn't what you do, it is what you don't do. On my fast days I don't eat breakfast and supper. I have one meal around 3PM. It's a high protein meal because it keeps me feeling full longer.

Before and after I just take liquids. Green tea blunts my appetite, so does plain water.
