:wavey: On Saturday, August 11, 2012, I started another Alternate Day Fast (ADF) Experiment, using JUDDDD. On that date, my weight was 127.4 lbs. After 3 weeks, my weight is 125.0 lbs. My goal is to return my weight to 115 lbs and maintain around the 115 lb area. I am now at the beginning of...

Back to Alternate Day Fasting with JUDDD :wavey: On Saturday, August 11, 2012, I started another Alternate Day Fast (ADF) Experiment, using JUDDDD. On that date, my weight was 127.4 lbs. After 3 weeks, my weight is 125.0 lbs. My goal is to return my weight to 115 lbs and maintain around the...

Congratuations Hoe

Thanks Hoe, My computer food journal records tell me that for the past entire quarter (3 months-Oct-Nov-Dec) I had an average daily calorie average of 933 and maintained (back and forth) in the same weight ranges. The entire year's (2009) calorie average was 1043...and even then I had a 2-3...

Hi Guys, This year I committed myself to an entire year (2010) of Alternate Day Eating, but I have chosen not to follow the exact JUDDD plan. My details are in my Diary section. :flirt2:

Although I've been successful at a string of VeryLowCalorie (Down) days, my weight has bounced back up to it's former high. Disappointing, since I had hoped to begin my Holiday vacation with a weight lower than normal, not higher. I'll be away from the forum for the rest of the Holiday season...

Hoe, Wishing you a great weekend.

Good Luck, Hoe

Progress Thanks Hoe, No, for me the Christmas season is the most difficult time of the year. The last third of December contains my birthday, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, my son's birthday, and New Year's Eve, Plus various Holiday events and gatherings. Also my husband will be off work, so...

Yesterday I was able to successfully add to my string of VeryLowCalorie days. I've decided to stop posting calorie totals of these daily, since they aren't actually JUDDD down days. However, I plan to post here frequently.

Yesterday's Efforts Yesterdays calorie total was 435. Today I plan to add to my string of VeryLowCalorie days.

Lou, Keep up the good work.

Jolinarr, Congratulations on your weight-loss, and my Best Wishes to you for today.

Stirky, Hope your food day goes well.

Wishing you a Great Day.

Hoe, I hope you have a wonderful day.

Yesterday's Down Day Efforts Yesterdays calorie total was 351. I feel fine, and my weight is still down. Perhaps this IS the jolt my body needs to drop a few lbs. Today I plan to add to my string of VeryLowCalorie days.

Yesterday's Down Day total was 379 calories. Because I've had 3 in a row, my hunger has diminished and I find them a bit easier. This morning I was encouraged to see a big Down-Bounce to the 115 lb range. I haven't seen one for quite some time, so I like it --- even though I know it is only...

A string of Down Days. Yesterday's calorie total was 328. My weight dropped back into the 118 range. Not much recent weight-loss success with Alternate Day eating. I'm also finding more than 1 hr a day low-impact exercise impossible to sustain. My current plan is to continue with a string...

Yesterday's Down Day Results Yesterday's Down Day calorie total was 285. Weight back up into the 119 lb range. I'm thinking of leaving the JUDDD guidelines, and having a series of VeryLowCalorie days for a bit. A series of VLC days is (..of course..) consecutive down days. Since my metabolism...

Saturday's Efforts Yesterday was Saturday, and my calorie total was 1053. I did only my normal 30 minutes on the Treadmill. Today I'm hoping to be successful with a Down Day, and increased low-impact exercise time.

Yesterday's Efforts Yesterday I ate a 1499 calorie total, which would be great...except for the fact that the total calories I burn each entire day is a bit under 1100. Also, it was a struggle not to eat a lot more. :sigh: Low-impact exercise 2 hrs... (which, DietPower tells me: for my body...

Congratulations Hoe, I'm glad you are seeing Results from your Efforts.

Yesterday's Up day results Yesterday's UP day calorie total was 1066. Although today is a scheduled Down day, I'm going to go for another low Up day. The scale is still holding my lower stabilized weight. I've eaten very low calorie for a long time without weight-loss results. Right now I'm...

Yesterday's Medium Day Results Yesterday's Medium day calorie total was 904. Today is an Up Day. I'm planning to work toward staying near my Guideline of 1000 calories.

Yesterday's Up Day Results Yesterday's Up day calorie total was 1139. Today I'm planning to work toward a Medium day... which is somewhere midway between my Guidelines of DD=500 and UD=1000. This morning I had a weight-drop back to my 118 lb stabilized weight. :)

Results of Yesterday'S DD Yesterday's Down Day turned into a Medium Day. My calorie total was 776, which is about halfway between my DD guideline of 500, and my UD guideline of 1000. This morning my weight was 119, so it appears to be dropping back down to my stabilized 118 lb area. Right now...

Thanks, Hoe, for your kind suggestion, but I believe that my calorie burn problem is not within their expertise. I am a very small, older "reduced obese" female with a very low metabolism, which happens more often than Experts care to admit. This is a fact I am learning to Accept and live with.

I don't do high-impact exercise or heavy lifting. However, the calorie burn I've stated includes daily low-impact exercise. For quite some time my current exercise has been: As average 1 hr of low-impact exercise per day 7 days a week. This is primarily walking on the Treadmill, free-style...

Yesterday's UP day Results Yesterday's UP day calories totaled 1398, which was almost 400 over my Guideline Budget, but still wasn't high enough to be totally Unacceptable. (Remember my Total daily calorie burn is only about 1100.) My Up-Bounce is still holding on. This morning's weight...

Congratulations, Hoe

Good morning, Sirkey, Hope you have a great day.

Congratulations, Jolinarr. Great attitude. I'm still not fond of the Down Days.

Good Luck with your Alternate Day Diet.

Good Luck today, Miss Nadene

It is my understanding that 2 consecutive DDs is the maximum.

Yesterday's Down Day My Yesterday's Down Day calorie total was 298. Today is an UP day. Despite my consistent Alternate Day eating ...and the fact that for the past 30 days I've had an 800 calorie average.... my (salt/water/waste) Up-Bounce has not yet receded. Weigh-ins for the past 3...

Yesterday's UP day was Thanksgiving Dinner Yesterday I had my family Thanksgiving dinner. My day's total came in at 1113, which was very close to my Guideline amount. :) This morning I had another Up-Bounce to 120.4 lbs. Although I am certain this is all a salt/water/waste gain, and it has...

Thanksgiving Down Day Results Yesterday's Thanksgiving Down Day calorie total was 584, which was a Success, since my Guideline is 500 calories. I ate and drank like a normal Down Day. This morning, however, my scale registered a 2 lb gain, up to 120 lbs. :sigh: I sometimes get these Up-Bounces...

Yesterday's UP day Results Yesterday's Up day was successful. My calorie total was 1121. Today is Thanksgiving Day, and it is a Down Day, but I will look forward to tomorrow's family Thanksgiving Dinner.

Results of yesterday's Down Day Yesterday's DD Calorie total was 428. Today is an UP day. :D Although tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the US, it will be a DD for me. I'm okay with that because Friday is our big Family Thanksgiving Dinner, and Friday will be an UP day.

Weight Results - 2 1/2 weeks on JUDDD Thanks for your interest. I re-started Alternate Day Eating again on November 8, so now I've been doing it for the past 2 1/2 weeks. :rolleyes: The week before I started, I was holding in the 118 lb range...(I call this my "stabilized" weight) A couple...

Enjoyed the article, AND it was fun to see some of your online comments receiving anonymous credit in print.

Miss Nadine, Hoping you have a Great Day.

Good Morning, Jolinarr

Stirkey, Hope your day goes well.

Good Morning, Hoe Hope you have a Wonderful day.

Results of Yesterday's UP day Yesterday's UP day was a success for a total of 1006 calories. :angel:

Miss Nadene X, My best wishes to you as you begin your alternate day eating plan.

Yesterday's DD was Successful. Yesterday's Down Day calorie total was 483, which was a success.

Yesterday's UP day successful Yesterday's Up day successful calorie total was 945, which is just under my 1000 calorie maximum Guideline number.

Congratulations, jolinarr

Yesterday's DOWN Day Results Yesterday my calorie total was 560. I feel the day was successful, even though I went a bit above my DOWN Day Guideline of 500 calories. Today is an UP day, with a Guideline of 1000 calories.

Wonder what the Charts say about you? Thanks, miss jelly tot I've noticed some small differences between sites, however, since the majority are based on the Harris/Benedict formula most of them are very similiar. Remember....even though one puts in one's own age, height, weight etc. the result...

Hoe, I hope things are going well for you today.

Stirky, How are you doing?

How is it going for you?

Looks like you are doing well.

Up day Results Yesterday's UP day was successful. My total calories came to 932, which is just a bit under my Guideline of a maximum of 1000 calories. Today is a Down Day, and I'm aiming for a maximum of 500 calories.

UP day = eating 100% of one's normal Burn Adding to my above-post regarding JUDDD. An UP day in JUDDD (or any Alternate Day plan) is supposed to be just a Normal, Maintenance day. Meaning a day in which a person eats his or her total, normal day's calorie burn. Bear in mind that my current...

I'm also here. I've been posting in my Diary every day.

The actual definition of a VLCD is less than 800 calories a day. I have had quite a bit of experience with VeryLowCalorieDiets. Many years ago I spent 6 months on a Dr-supervised liquid diet...i.e. shakes, where the total day's intake was 300 calories a day. Also, 17 years ago, the first 3...

Thank you Hoe, Yes, it is very difficult, but to me being small and staying small is worth the struggle.

Down Day Results - Today is an UP day Yesterday's Down Day totalled 318 calories. Today is an Up day. I'm finding it almost impossible to eat around 300 calories on my Down Day, but I'd still like to lose about 1/2 lb per week. So I'm making some changes to my Plan. I've decided to increase...

I'm here in my second week. :) You can check the Diary section for others who are posting regularly.

Up day Results I am happy with yesterday's UP day results. My calorie total was 1193. :) But.... today is yet another Down Day.

Only when comparing fruit cake to the sponge I wash dishes with. TPBM plans to eat cookies on her next Up day.

Today is Up day Yesterday's Down day was successful. 214 calories. Today is an UP day, and I am sooooo hungry. Good luck to me today.:rolleyes:

Yesterday's UP day was a bit too UP. My UP day calorie maximum is 1300, which I'm using as a guideline...Anything around that is okay. However, yesterday's total was 1705 calories, which was quite a bit too Up. Hoping for a better Result with today's Down Day. A calorie maximum of 300 is my...

Re: Computer Food Journal I, personally, have no connection to DietPower, other than my longtime use of it. However, I do know one faithful user is a female priest in the UK, so there mut be a way to overcome differences. DietPower has a food dictionary, of course, which doesn't contain lots...

Here is a copy of a brief introduction from another thread.

Short answer: Yes. The amount of food intake in a down day is not relevant to the amount of exercise one does during a down day. BTW, my personal success comes from the position that: Exercise is for Fitness; Nutrition is for Health; Low-Calorie eating is for Weight-Loss. Each of these 3...

Thanks, soozsb. I microwave my protein powder into little cookies. Many years ago I spent 6 months on a Dr-Supervised liquid diet, and since that time I cannot bear to drink my food. I agree with you about Protein on Down Days. (and I think it's also important on Up Days). According to the...

WHAT???? :eek: It is certain the reverse for me. For me it is: Down Days = :sigh: Up Days = :)

Yesterday's DD successful. Yesterday's Down Day was successful, although I felt especially Hungry all day. My day's total came to 360 calories. (46.5 grams Protein) Here is what I ate: 1 Protein Peanut Butter Cookie: (54 calories) 1 oz Sugar Snap Peas: (13 calories) 4 raw mushrooms: (12...

It is 3:30 p.m. here on my Down Day, I've been successful so far, and my plan allows a bit more food in a couple of hours. I just finished eating 1/4 cup of eggwhites with a small bit of sauted onion, green pepper, and mushrooms, topped with 3/4 oz reduced fat cheese. and...... I AM SO VERY...

That is the TRUTH.... but I am also fond of junk sweets. The Person Below Me has a Hobby.

I'm also finding this to be true.

I disagree with you. :tomato: I think any 1 lb loss in a week (no matter what one weighs) is Terrific. Keep up the Good work ! :)

This is the 6th day of my first week back, and I'm happy with the way things are going. :queen: My weight has dropped about 3 lbs, but, of course, this is an expected salt/water/waste loss of the first week. From this point on, I would be absolutely thrilled to see an average loss of 1/2 lb to 1...

I'd love to see some JUDDD tips which you find individually Helpful. :secret:

Congratulations, soozsb :0clapper: One pound lost is Great !

Way to Go, Purple Butterfly. :party0011:

Up Day Results Yesterday's UP day was successful. It was a relatively normal (higher) Maintenance day, and my calorie total came to 1383. Although 1300 is a bit above my daily burn .....according to my past year's detailed food records data..., I'm still using it as a Guideline for my Up days...

A terrific free weight graph useful to JUDDDers. I weigh every day and watch the averages. By The Way, for those interested there is a very helpful free graph, called a "weight loss charting tool" on a website named: eatqod.com eat QOD is the site of an alternate day diet very similiar to...

It's great to see you doing so well.:jelous:

Today is an UP day for me, but had to attend a funeral of an old friend so it has been a bit of a downer. How are things going for the rest of you?

Hi Mrs. Justin, How are you doing with JUDDD?

I need to Watch Out. Today is an UP day. :gimi:

Hi Jolinarr, I also recently returned to an Alternate Day Diet. I like the way you post your daily food intake. Looking at another's food is interesting and helpful. For the present I've decided to also post my DownDay food here in the Diaries. For the past 5 years I've used a software food...

I'm looking for your Threads, and will respond to them if I can.

This quote in your signature really made me laugh.

Yesterday's UP day went well. I feel that yesterday's UP day was successful. I ate a bit above my Maintenance Level, but my day's calorie Total was 1356. This morning is another Down Day. I am feeling Hopeful. :innocent0002:

I am over 60 years old, and I am in good health, needing no medication. Due to my age and physical ability, I can do only Low-Impact Exercise, along with a bit of light strength training. Now that I've retired, I live a rather sedentary life in general. However, for the past several years my...

Dr. Johnson's calculator is based on the Harris/Benedict metabolism formula, which is based on one's sex, height, weight, and age. However, Harris/Benedict is only an approximation, and many people are 10% to 20% lower (some are even lower). Harris/Benedict is still the standard formula...

I think Eating more is definitely the best thing about UD's.

For me, the best thing about DD's is that I get a lot done, because in order to keep from eating I stay busy.

Hi. It's about 5:30 p.m. my time, and my down day has gone well... ...except that I'm hungry and tired. :gen157: I'm looking forward to my UP day tomorrow.

Thanks for the helpful information. I was wondering why I didn't have the ability to use my picture. :)

I feel hungry. This is my first DD on this round of JUDDD. It is almost 4 p.m. my time, and so far I've done very well. I plan to go to bed very early...even for me...like in just a couple of hours. My usual hours are up at 4:30 a.m. and bedtime around 8 p.m.

Thanks for the Support. BTW, UP day 2000 and Down day 500 equals an average calorie intake of 1250 per day. Most younger women of average size or larger will lose weight on that number. Unfortunately, that is at least 150 calories a day more than my current burn...including my activity factor...

Day 1 completed, Starting Day 2 Yesterday was an UP day, and my calorie total was 1283...which was right on for my goal of a maximum of 1300 calories. Today is a DOWN day, and I'm going for a maximum of 300 calories (which is about 23% of the UP day total) I'm going to start my day with a 53...

The idea behind any kind of alternate day eating plan is that it works because if one eats within reason during UP days, one's average calorie intake (which is your UP day total added to your DOWN day total) divided by 2, will be low enough to lose weight. One needs to take into consideration...

Today I am restarting JUDDD. There are 53 days left in 2009, and I am hoping to continue with this through the end of the year. I'm starting with an UP day, and have arranged my schedule so that my big 4 Holiday Celebrations are all on UP days. My goal for UP days will be a maximum of 1300...
