I've never tried fasting but I recently used Livestrong's food tracker tool (http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate/) to lose a few pounds. The pro is that you get a good sense of your daily calorie quota and it helps you exercise portion control while letting you eat everything. The con that made me quit tracking after 2 weeks is that most Indian dishes are not included so I had to manually create meals from individual ingredients (e.g. if I ate alu gobi for dinner I would create the dish with specific quantities of key ingredients i.e. potatoes, cauliflower, oil, etc.). Took up a good 45 minutes/day . They do have a pretty comprehensive food list though, including popular restaurant menu items and Indian store items. <br /><br />The exercise did give me a good sense of how much I should be eating for my weight & activity level. I did include some light to moderate exercise ~3 days/week.<br /><br />Least to say, I love reading your posts/recipes:) The cheela and shrimp look delicious!Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-87687787920236439032009-04-29T09:32:00.000-04:002009-04-29T09:32:00.000-04:00hehehe, when I saw the potatoes in your prev post,...hehehe, when I saw the potatoes in your prev post, I meant to comment, but let it pass under the table :D I stuck to it for 5 days, the fasting was a little easier for me. I had dinner at 7pm on Friday, and since I woke up only at 10am on Sat, in a couple of hours the fasting time was done :))<br /><br />Planning is definitely the key to the whole diet. The mind constantly attaches a carb to all everything, and to train it out of it is tough. And it was actually surprising to me that not having carbs does not really make you weak. I missed my coffee & tea the most though :( Will surely try taking it up once a month.Priyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11535326222601384563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-40729945994784321402009-04-29T05:39:00.000-04:002009-04-29T05:39:00.000-04:00ROFL @ "But I feel lighter", I said to myself, "Ma...ROFL @ <I>"But I feel lighter", I said to myself, "Maybe I have lost inches(or feet) if not pounds.
