Sorry for posting again but found some interesting things about the user name blondielou1992. Put it into google and got this:

And there is more but got tired copying and pasting. Looks like blondielou1992, has been posting things like this thread for quite some time and getting really good advice but not following it.
Look at you Nancy Drew!
That's frustrating when people ask the same questions over and over, which are ridiculous to begin with, and then don't take the advice given and instead just keep repackaging the same question in hopes to hear something that validates what you want to hear...
It's sad, in the time since the first thread she could have lost those 5 pounds 3 times over if she just listened to people.0 -

That's the amount morbidly obese people eat after destroying their
digestive system with surgery.
Yes, they lose weight quickly.
But they're also closely supervised by a doctor,
and they take lots of vitamins.
(And they have to do it the rest of their lives.)
Don't do it.
Just eat at a reasonable slight deficit (250 cal) from what you need
to maintain your current weight (usually 12-15 cal/lb) and exercise
almost every day.0 -
Wait this thread has gone to 5 pages, new record for OP!! Noticed she hasn't come back. Not surprising!0

I have been doing a version of this (mixing it with intermittent fasting and calorie cycling) for about 5 weeks now and have lost 1 lb per week (total of 5 lbs so far). There is NO way I could do 500 calories 10 days in a row, especially since I work out 5-6 days a week. I would pass out!
This was my thought too ^
10 consecutive days at 500 calories....ugh
Why would you do this to yourself? This is just another fad, crash diet (whatever you want to call it).....they always need to re-name the same old crap....so people don't think it's just the same old crap (again).0 -

I actually heard Yoda read it when I read it, lol.
Maybe OP is getting her wires crossed about the magazine article, perhaps it is the 5:2 diet but she didn't read it in context. You know what they say, that the TEXT out of CONtext and you get.......0 -
after reading all of these comments and the fact that some users have taken the time out to actually research and post what I have previously asked questions about is beyond sadder than my original post.
to clarify, I had got the article mixed up, I meant to say the 5:2 diet.
either way, I'm so glad you all took the time out to become so interested in a thread. I am very self conscious and this is an easy way to gain advise (yes, some good which is appreciated) but some - absolutely arsey comments which are sarcastic and really not needed for someone with low self esteem, so for all the keyboard warriors I have actually already lost half a stone which isn't easy when I have such a tiny frame. not through that diet through going to the gym and eating healthily. so thank you for the constructive comments, to all the others who have referred to me as "lashing out" " she could've done this" bla bla seriously find something better to do! lol its laughable! all I wanted was some advice....

OP are you serious? Really bad idea.0

I can see nothing wrong with it, I am sure the magazine wouldnt leave themselves open to legitation by advising something dangerous0

How is it our responsibility to decipher what we think you mean versus your responsibility to say what you mean? "500-600 calories every day for 10 days to lose weight " ... your original post ... nothing to do with an intermittent fasting program.
In this post you lash out about people commenting about you lashing out ... necro thread road to irony (and proving previous posters correct).

I would be HANGRY(hungry -angry) if i only ate 500 calories a day, even for 10 days that seems a bit extreme unless your under dr supervision for medical reasons.0

Nothing like a little shot of irony with my coffee on this Monday morning...
OP since you originally said you had 5 lbs to lose and have now told us you lost half a stone (which I think is 7 lbs if my conversations are correct) does that mean you are now transitioning into maintenance?
