I think the Calorie Boost day does help because you have to somehow make up your calories for the week. If you kept your calories low - and it is hard to eat the day after both fasts - you would go into starvation mode.

If your average calories per day are 7.7 per pound, they are to low. They should be at least 10 per pound to again, prevent starvation mode. Anyway, your average daily calories for the week is 1561, not too far a cry from 1400.

The the green vegetables helps to keep things "running smoothly" after a day of fat ond one of lean meats.

If you use good vegetable fats (and meat fats) on calorie boost days, it is quite easy to get your cals up without stuffing yourself. Now that I have discovered what green vegetables are highest in carbs and posted them, there shouldn't be a problem with overeating.



We didn't. The instructions were to eat 25 grams of carbs in the form of green vegetables. ECC was never mentioned.
