Or you could just eat at a calorie deficit daily instead of having two days a week where you sugar coat it and make it a shiny shiny fad like all the other "diets" people follow. I didn't lose much weight doing 5:2. But I felt much better health wise. Placebo effect? Possibly. I have wised up since then and no longer…

Yep. Who'd be a woman eh? Ha ha!

I don't follow 5:2 any more. It was another faddy load of bumpkiss. I was just trying to point out to those who assume that 5:2 is primarily about weight loss. It isn't. I have lost more following CICO than I ever did doing 5;2, Weight Watchers, Stupid VLCD's and god knows what else. Until we educate, we can never learn.…

I've read his book and followed the plan. So erm I don't need to thank you. Fasting is first and foremost about the health benefits.

I lost 0.3lb one week. I still celebrated as hard as the weeks I lost 3lb. Well done you!

It is worth noting that the 5:2 diet isn't aimed at weight loss. It was for health benefits. The weight loss is just a bonus!

I aim to please :lol:

OP you posted back in February that you had 5lbs to lose. It is now 3 months down the line and you are still looking for a quick fix for something that you could have solved by now if you had listened to the solid advice you were given at the time. SMH.

No. Just No. You are already at a low weight. Safe healthy weight loss is not done by starving yourself for 10 days. Benedict Cumberbatch is a muppet if he did this diet.

Cheetos. Oh how could I forget the orange fingered cheesy snack. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I go 3 or 4 times a day WITHOUT a salt water flush. :lol:

Chocolate. French stick with butter on so thick you can see your teeth marks in it when you bite down. More chocolate. Peanut butter. Nutella. Ooooh and popcorn. Lots of popcorn!

Have you told the doctor you are experiencing these side effects??

That would be one hell of weekend @rabbitjb :lol:

30 minutes in the gym? I'd take a nap in the changing room. I never get much time alone. Pmsl

I would never weigh after a rough weekend. I don't take well to scale fluctuations so only weigh every 2 weeks now. My weight is coming down in a nice slow trend so that's great. I don't need to upset myself with every little fluctuation. Some people like knowing. I do not ha ha! It will come off again don't worry!

I have a maple syrup and bacon popcorn. It is 69 calories for 15g which is oceans for me and I enjoy every mouthful. :lol:

Come on... I'm half asleep and Google is slow as treacle. Plus. Plagiarism. Every time :lol:

This made me laugh way harder than it should...

I'm a cool kid? Yesssss finally!!!! :lol:

I sureeeeeee do ;)

Which is infinitely better than sucking rump...

Has someone seriously flagged this as abuse? What is wrong with people?

Posh dog is posh. I like his tie!

I get this feeling that you don't even have stomach fat. But if you wanna get shirtless... I'll hold it for you! Pahahahahahaha

That would ruin your pretty face. Stop it!

Bingo! Lol Enjoy those tasty foods.

There is a weird doctor near my town that does this. I'd rather pull out my own finger nails than let him near me lol

Agree!

I don't have cheat days. To cheat implies something bad. Having a higher than average calorie meal once in a while is ok. We still have to live. ;)
