EverDecreasingMog

Thanks everyone - I want to continue with my 16/8 low carb because it feels like a good plan but I will try and get closer to my calorie target. It's quite strange though as I am not feeling hungry or deprived on my current level - although this may just be because my metabolism has slowed down......... I want to be…

Oh wow guys - thanks for all the replies! I really liked the idea of 18/6 and low carbing because I really want to shift some weight quite quickly. Would it still work if I tried to eat more during my 6 hours of eating? Am trying to derive my calories from low carb food - is that ok? Thanks again everyone.

Oh - that wasn't too difficult :).

Thanks for looking - I'll try and work out how to open my diary (bit of a techno-idiot!) I am 175/5'9" and weigh 77 kg. Am off to try and reveal my private details :)

Really like the idea of 16:8 but does it have to be every day or do you think it would work Monday - Friday (as long as I stay under my calorie/carbs all 7 days)

Thanks melaniecheeks - have found the groups and joined:smile:

Can you explain 18/6 please? Is that an 18 hour complete fast , how many times a week etc, Please tell all!

Basically that's it. Google Michael Mosley for details. I don't think you can go mad on the other 5 days but as long as you stay below 500 cals for a woman, 600 for a man, you should see a result. I'm trying to make my 500 cals low carb as well and I'll see what happens! I have read great things about it and am encouraged…

Can you tell me about your 5:2 please. I'd love to hear your success story!
