Thread: Howdy! First day :)

Hi,

I'm back to the forum AGAIN, but this time trying something new! I'm doing the alternate day diet, so slimfast every other day. Today is day one and I've started with a slimfast day, so today I'm only having three shakes, only had one so far and pretty hungry, but its not too bad! Tomorrow I get to eat "normally" abd will have about 1400-1500 cals.
Fingers crossed this is teh plan that works for me!

Hi! I have actually bought the alternate day diet book to read and I am planning on doing it with my slimfast shakes! You will have to keep me updated on how you are getting along :-)

What's the alternate diet - how does it work??

You basically alternate a normal calorie day with a really low calorie day. So on a low day I'm aiming to have 3 slimfast shakes which comes in at just under 700, following day have about 1500 and just keep doing that.
Day 2 today and its gone just fine

how are you doing on the diet ?

Seconded, I'd love to hear if this works?

Im Startin tomorow so love to hear how everyone is getting on x

How are you getting on ?:-)

They also call this the "zig-zag" diet method. Having alternate days VLC and high(er) calorie is supposed to confuse your body and stop starvation mode/plateaus from kicking in.

It will be interesting to see how you fare on this. I have about 11lbs to go and my losses are very slow now (around 0.5lbs/week) now and I have pretty regular STS weeks too..............

Stick your heads into JUDDD (johnsons up day down day) further down the forum page. It's an alternating, zig zag, diet. For me it's like being on a diet every other day and being "normal" the rest of the time!!!
