I have been struggling with motivation to get off my ass and lose the pounds i added during the fall/winter season.

So now i will try the 5/2 diet, which should be fairly easy (so they say).

The concept, two days per week you only comsume 600 calories a day (male) , and the remaining 5 days you eat normal.

People loose weight by doing this, so now i have to find good low cal foods, so i can still feel full on my restricted days. Cauliflower and broccoli here i come :D

Wish me luck

I believe it will work.. less calories = weight loss , that is a simple fact.

Many diet possibilities but the best is whichever diet works for the individual. Combining exercise with diet is more effective than either one alone in losing weight. Also exercise helps to retain muscle.

Restricting calories to that extent - ie starving yourself- is a horrible option.. you need to eat 'quality' calories to keep your metabolic fires burning.

Manipulating your macronutrient intake (ie your carbs, protein & fats) is a far more effective way to go IMO and from experience. Look into the 'carb night' protocol.. I haven't used it however it makes a lot sense and people who are looking to lose fat have achieved great results with it.

Work out or exercise everyday and Eat Subway. No Soft drinks 6 days a week and drink lots of water. The pounds will fall off very quickly.

That BBC documentary on fasting was spot on. Many chronic illnesses are reversed via the fasting process. Gives your body time to heal itself. Many studies indicate extended lifespan. The 5/2 is actually a tame / doable approach to other, more aggressive alternatives in this realm. Excellent choice, Good Luck!

Hello, more than dieting, try changing your eating habits avoiding soft drinks and junk food. You will feel and look better.

Then exercise by whacking off to NAMBLA videos on the Internet.

Good advice. Junk carbs are a huge problem.

I think this diet is effective, only if sustained.

I HOPE YOU'RE OK..............HAS BEEN OVER 3 YEARS!

THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN LOSING WEIGHT OR FEELING BETTER/HEALTHIER IS A COMBINATION OF DIET AND EXERCISE....................NOT ONE OR THE OTHER. WILL NOT WORK IF YOU NEGLECT ONE!

TRUST ME!!!!

LIKE JICJAC MENTION EARLIER..........DRINKS LOTS OF WATER..........STAY AWAY FROM EVERYTHING ELSE EXCEPT TEAS.........ESPECIALLY GREEN OR WHITE!
