Karenlou's JUDDD diary - back on track

[Karenlou]

It's quite easy. You alternate up days and down days. On a down day you follow a VLDC - 500 cals max and on an up day you can eat what you want. Losses are about 2-3lb a week as long as you don't go too mad on an up day.

Well here I am on another down day. Went out for a lovely Valentine's meal last night and was really full so I thought I wouldn't be hungry today. WRONG! Bears are rampaging in my tummy but I will be strong and tomorrow I can eat what I like.

Buffet lunch at work today so I'll have to wander round with a plate looking like I've eaten. Thought I might invent a tummy bug so nobody tries to push food on me

 

[Karenlou]

Well I did fine at the buffet but fell foul of a bottle of wine last night - not recommended on an empty stomach I can assure you!

Ah well, another down day tomorrow so fingers crossed.

How was your down day Karen? Hope it went ok. Smile it's an up today!

Hi Crystal

Fell off the wagon big style this week but back on track today with a DD and hopefully a load of incentive. How are you getting on?

 

[Pingu6]

Hey Karen
Hope you're DD went ok. I know about you mean about falling off the wagon, I did the same! Still, back on track today with a DD.

I'm having a brill DD today - it's seven pm and I've only had 170 calories. Will treat myself to an Options hot chocolate before bed I think

 

[Karenlou]

Today was supposed to be a DD but had a friend's funeral and there was a buffet - always my downfall.

Ah well, tomorrow is another (down) day

Hi Gemma

Thanks for visiting my diary. I'm fine thanks although my mum is in hospital so I'm worried about her and I'm not sticking to the diet. Think I might give slimming world a try.

Hi
Just did a Google search of "Fast-5" and it came up with a few threads on here, but they don't last long, and are very old.

I am guessing that that means that everyone has given up on it?

Three weeks ago I started a similar thing to "Fast-5" called "EatStopEat" and I would be interested to hear from anyone who has had success with Intermittent Fasting.

I do have a thread on here, but there is only one person commenting on it, and I think she may be struggling as she doesn't comment very often.

Hi PinkPuffin

How is the fasting diet going? I'd never heard of Fast5 or EatStopEat before

Personally I've never been on a diet where I've had to fast, bud I did attempt the JUDDD diet earlier this year and lost about half a stone in a fortnight but I was also exercising quite a lot at the time, walking a lot every day x
