    New Year New Start

    I've only just got my head around it lol. It consists of up days and down day, one day you eat upto 2000 kcal ( obviously good stuff) that's an up day, then the following day you eat no more than 500 kcal. There's a calculator on the website that tells you what kcals you should be eating on this...

    Sooooo...JUDDD?! LETS DO THIS!

    Yeah I can see me finding it harder on up days! 2000 calories is alot of food! But it will all be good food so I'll try not to feel guilty. Lol.
  26. marzipanda

    Sooooo...JUDDD?! LETS DO THIS!

    Even though today is meant to be an up day it don't feel right starting a new diet by eating 2000 calories on the first day lol so I'm going to do the down day today and up day tomorrow just this week... And then next week it will be in the order of my second draft.lol.
