Thought I'd start a thread for WeMitts who are doing this diet - might join you myself. Tell us all about it, and keep us informed about how you are getting on.

I'm a wemitt on the JUDDD diet ... just completed my first week with a 3lb loss. V Happy about that

As one of the very first guinea pigs (along with the lovely Barb), it was a bit nerve wracking dong the 'eating' thing but it looks like it might be a plan I can live with. Looking forward to the week ahead

What is the JUDDD diet please?

westhills · 28th May, 2007

My understanding is that you alternate "down" days, when you have 500 cals or so, with "up" days when you eat normally. Several people on Minimins are doing it, and there is a forum under the "other diets" section. I am always on the look out for helpful things for WeMitts - and I think this is potentially very helpful indeed.

As Debbie said I am on the JUDDD, I am finding it easy and enjoyable and can honestly say I have never felt this calm about food.
Debbie and I were both in about the same place as far as dieting goes - sick to the back teeth of it but miserably unhappy with our weight. Then along came JUDDD. It is so do-able, it makes sense and I feel it is healthy.
My first week has shown a 4lb loss, which I am absolutely thrilled with. If I can keep up a steady 2lb a week I will be very happy indeed and approaching my ideal in time for Christmas!

Re long term maintenance on a plan like JUDDD ...

I mentioned on my diary thread that I've noticed most 'naturally' slim people I know seem to eat this way without even realising it. They have days when they definitely eat more and then seem to just eat less for a day or so. It's not a conscious decision - they just 'do it'.

My 11 year old daughter is like this ... she's slim like her dad (and all his family) and we never talk 'diet' to her although she knows I'm trying to get healthy by losing weight. (Of course, I really just want to look nice in a pair of size 12/14 jeans but I don't tell her that!

)

Sophie eats like a horse for days: I sometimes wonder where she puts all that food in her little body then suddenly, she'll have days when she eats like a sparrow. I've never forced the issue - she's fit and healthy so I don't make her finish her meals etc: she eats what she wants and no more.

I believe this is the natural way for humans to eat ... I don't think we were designed to have the same number of allotted calories every day: after all, we don't USE the same number of calories every day. We may live in the 21st century, but biologically, our bodies haven't changed all that much since the Bronze age - and we certainly didn't 'allot our calorie intakes to match our BMRs' back then!

So I'd say that eating JUDDD style - but raising the cals on a DD - would be an ideal way of maintaining. I intend to try it anyway.

**Barb** · 29th May, 2007

On the Juddd website they suggest 1000-1200 on a DD when maintaining and your normal requirement on an UD. That sounds pretty sensible to me and extremely do-able. I agree about people who are slim varying their cals and could i just mention that Yorkshire Terriers do it too! Seriously, my little Ozzie has days when he eats next to nothing and days when he follows me round asking for food. he is exactly the weight he should be and I now don't worry too much as I knwo he regulates what he needs depending on how much exercise he has done! See even dogs can Juddder!

All animals do when you think about it Barb - lions in Africa make a kill, eat their fill and might not have a kill again for a day or so.
But we are just animals too after all and are biologically designed the same .... only we invented the car and MacDonalds!

**Barb** · 29th May, 2007

My Ozzie will be well chuffed at being compared to a lion, he looks a bit like one actually!

Russiandoll · 29th May, 2007

My little Pepper looks like something the lion would chase!

**Barb** · 29th May, 2007

Is Pepper a little dog?

Russiandoll · 29th May, 2007

Yep - she's a Cavalier King Charles spaniel / miniature German Schnauzer cross

A bit bigger than Ozzie ... about the size of a cat. Cute as anything!
