Gemmill 44864 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Just so you know btw, it's actually impossible to lose 1 3/4 pound of genuine weight in 3 days. By all means starve/dehydrate yourself and put it back on on the 4th day though if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hasn't he effectively just done your wonder diet this week though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44864 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Not that I'm aware, no. The entire point of my "wonder diet" is that you don't just do it for a week though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 At the end of the day another 1 3/4 equals a stone that's gone and me moved from obese to just overweight.

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Conclusion Due to the very real uncertainties about the 5:2, especially as little is known about whether it could be harmful to health in the long-term, most health professionals would recommend you stick to the tried and trusted methods for weight loss and disease prevention: http://www.nhs.uk/news/2013/01January/Pages/Does-the-5-2-intermittent-fasting-diet-work.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what you are saying but changing from a poor diet to a good diet and moving from obese downwards can only improve your chances of staying healthy. Simply losing weight is not my only overall goal, but initially getting back to my historical weight is my first overall goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply losing weight is not my only overall goal, but initially getting back to my historical weight is my first overall goal. Then that makes sense as part of a wider plan, definitely. It's just that sometimes your focus on the weight side of things (especially at this time of year) can come across a bit like "if I make my target I can eat pies again!" - the long-term trend is far more indicative than what happens from day to day. (And I realise I'm hardly one to talk on that front. ) But aye, an improved diet means further weight loss should come naturally too, if you're sticking to that after this month as well. In which case, my apologies for inadvertently prompting you to buy the Silver Spoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44864 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 No, his tried and trusted methods are different: - 10 months per year spent with obese BMI - 1 month of tuna salads - 1 month of rapid weight gain - Zero exercise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bias 3 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) As long as you're not confusing "losing weight" with "becoming healthier", then that's fine I guess. A goal's a goal. I think a lot of people get confused with that. Being in the Army I would say I've been physically fit and a decent weight for the past 5 years but not healthy. It's not until the last 7 weeks that I have sorted out my diet that I realise how much shit I use to eat and drink. Anyone can run a mile in 6-7 mins but it doesn't mean your healthy. As I've said before on here MyFitnessPal is the way forward in my opinion Edited February 26, 2013 by 2bias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bias 3 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Out of interest CT what is your diet right now and what exercise do you do daily? Also since you've started have you lost much with your current method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bias 3 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 he's lost over a stone in a month or something just changing his eating, then he goes back to normal. basically for a 4week period every year he's where he wants to be That can't be healthy.

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Out of interest CT what is your diet right now and what exercise do you do daily? Also since you've started have you lost much with your current method? Anything as long as I stay under 1500 calories a day, however an example of recent weeks would be.... A banana and apple for breakfast. Garlic mayo Tuna, cherry tomatoes and cucumber on cracker bread for lunch. Beef stew packed with vegetables for tea. Rather than having a very unhealthy diet previously, it was more a case of not realising how many calories I was actually taking in every day. Im pretty confident I can eat or drink anything now, stay around the 1500 calorie mark and lose weight. I do zero exercise because I hate it. However my goal is to get to near enough the weight I want first and then try and get more involved in an exercise routine of some sort be that cycling, treadmill or just being more active. My first target was to lose a stone during February and I need another 1 3/4 pounds off my Friday to achieve that first goal. I also use My Fitness Pal app and swear by it.

That sounds good, My Fitness Pal is amazing. Do you find that you consume your calories you've also burnt off? IE you gain calories by going for walk etc or do you just eat your daily allocated? The hardest thing I've found is sticking to three meals a day and not snacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really burning any off so dont have that problem. As for snacking I do, although it tends to be on healthier things or items that dont really impact to high on the calorie count. IE, Fruit or go ahead crispy slices or cottage cheese on cracker bread etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
