Weight 12 stone 4lbs
Well, I'm not sure that I really understand how, but this diet really works!
On Thursday I know that I went over my calorie limit - not sure exactly but I had around 650 calories (500 is the recommended limit for women).
For breakfast I had one boiled egg and one slice of home made seeded wholemeal bread. (around 300 calories)
For dinner I had one Sainsbury's good for you meal, prawn biryani (318 calories) and I added 6 cherry tomatoes to the mix.
The next day, Friday, I weighed myself because I was too impatient to wait until Monday, which is my usual weighing day - and I had lost another two pounds, bringing me to 12 stone 6.
We had people around for dinner Friday night and I ate a lot, homemade garlic bread using loads of butter, pasta and apple pie with ice cream and clotted cream. On Saturday we went to a getogether and I ate several cakes and biscuits; then in the evening we had beef stew with dumplings. Sunday I ate quite a bit of cheese.
I got on the scales this morning wondering how much weight I had put back on, only to find that I had actually lost another two pounds, bringing my weight to 12 stone 4!!
I start today's fast day with renewed enthusiasm!!

Karen, I'm inspired by your results! I've started walking (again) and plan to try the 5:2 diet. Thanks for posting your results.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donna. The actual book which explains the diet, which is written by a doctor, is by Michael Mosley. He adapted this diet and it was aired on BBC. Some have jumped on the band wagon and produced their own books, but this is the definative one.
