Thread: Newbie to JUDDD

Going to start this next week once I get rid of all the xmas goodies!

I think I can handle the DD no probs but I am concerned about the UD. Is it best to count calories on the UD to make sure you are not well below or well above the recommended amount? Not sure what I am going to eat on the UD as it will be alot more than I usually eat on a normal 1300-1500 calorie a day diet.

Welcome .
I personally don't count calories on my UDs, but I do make sure I go to the gym. I guess if you wanted to, you could count them for the first couple of UDs, just to see how you're doing. Good luck, it really is a great diet

I personally count my calories on an UD, but thats personal preference as I like to know where I am so that if I have a good loss I can look at the calories.
Its surprisingly easy to increase 1300-1500 cals to 2000. Just increase each meal a little, especially breakfast. You will find the DD's much easier after a good UD. If you try to do DD's off low calorie UD's you will feel much more hungry and are more likely to get headaches or dizziness. Anyway, welcome & good luck!

Thanks, looking forward to starting.

I counted my up calories for ONE SINGLE DAY and I gave up counting lol.

Saying that I've stuck very STRICTLY to my downs, in fact nowadays I fast entirely (asides a cup of tea or two with semi)

I've lost over 30lbs since the end of july

Everyone does it differently because different methods work for different people. Don't be afraid to experiment once you get to grips with the plan. xx
