It is just every other day for most people to have 500 calories. Some people have three Down Days a week and some people one or two. During induction I do every other day. Once you are off induction you can experiment with a rotation that is comfortable for you, say 600/1900 or 700/1800. You...

Congratulations on losing six pounds! You said it is hard when your hubby cooks dinner. Can you save all of your 500 calories for dinner and eat with him? I do this sometimes. 500 calories can be an adequate portion for one meal. Just keep telling yourself during the meal, "I can have a second...

Dr. Johnson has a free website that explains the diet and how to do it. The website is free. It was down for awhile but is back up again. Just do an on-line search for Johnson Up Day Down Day Diet.

Thank you for your response, Albibe. I can feel your concern in your post, and do not feel criticism. As I posted earlier I have been clinically diagnosed as hypothyroid. I take thyroid meds, but still need to restrict calories a little bit more than most people. Also I am almost 60 years old. I...

Yes. I do think JUDDD is just another way to calorie cycle. I have done other calorie cycling plans, and they worked. However, I did better on a more routine plan of every other day rotation (500/1900). It's easier for me to plan my meals. Also, I don't have a lot of variety for my DD's, so I...

1900 is okay if I go for volume. The healthier the choices, the better. A lot of calories can be wasted on sweets. I am not doing low carb, so potatoes and hot cereal can really help to feel satisfied. I am going to have one free day (at least that's my plan) a month to have whatever; then get...

Sammy: I noticed you and I are about the same height and weight. I read your blog and you stated your UD's are 2500. I think that is great that you can lose at that high a calorie level on UD's. 2100 is my ultimate limit. I try to stay around 1900. I am almost 60 and have a low functioning...

JUDDD is one of the most resiliant diets. So easy to bounce back after an indulgence. I count DD's (500) and UD's (1900). DD's are very manageable for me; but UD's are always a challenge. I find that if I have my food planned a day ahead of time and calories all counted, it is easier to stay on...

I lost 10 pounds on JUDDD the first 10 days. Then about 2.5 a week after that. I regained cuz I went waaaaaay off plan and ate whatever I wanted. Kind of a 2 month binge. I expect to have to have a maintenance plan when I reach goal, and we can do that with JUDDD. I know of a couple of people...

I lost thirty pounds on JUDDD a while back. I gained about half of it back. Was going to restart today, but it will have to be tomorrow. And, I am really looking forward to a good DD. I really need it. Good luck to everyone restarting.

I am restarting (again) tomorrow.

Good luck, Itsme. I'm trying to get back on track with JUDDD myself.

Hi Sherby, Are you still doing JUDDD? I am restarting tomorrow. Hope you are finding success.

Hi Itsme, Congratulations on doing so well with JUDDD. I lost quite a bit of weight a year ago with JUDDD and am restarting tomorrow. I love the Up Days.
