The 5:2 Diet - Week Two

The 5:2 Diet (aka Intermittent Fasting) Week Two.

This week has been a more successful in that I tired to eat closer to the limit to avoid overeating/overcompensating afterwards and succeeded. Last week I went from 90/91 to 94 because I ate quite a lot in the weekend and constantly snacked, which is something I have not done in a long time - over 9 months now.

This week I managed to move the fasting days and keep non-fasting days on a more sensible level - despite the claim you can eat whatever you want, that is obviously not true but you can eat sensibly and at normal levels on your off days.

I moved the fasting days to allow for a family meal with the in laws, Xmas BBQ lunch at work and will do so again this week to allow for Xmas day feeds as well.

This week finished the second day at 91.3 - regaining the ground slipped away from last weekend.

Over time I suspect this is very effective provided you also are sensible on your off days. I have had takeaways twice this week (first time in a while so close together) and still managed to keep losing, but also noticed that a couple of times I stopped eating because I was full. The trap not to "push past it"  to finish whats on your plate.

Max also losing weight, this diet seems to work well for her and does not mind it as much as the daily restrictive one.
