5:2 diet

[dem maser]

that's realistic....I want to drop a stone.....by Aug!!

 

[Parisien]

Thats the way I am looking at it Frank. I am hoping that the weight comes of slowly rather than big gains instantly as it wont go back on as quickly.

Target is 13 stone from 14 and a half in 3-6 months.

Sounds good Matt........just keep at it.....

[Parisien]

But...I feel better, more energy, more flexible.....plus had dropped adding salt to everything..........have reduced my risk of developing other conditions drastically....which is what its all about...


Weight loss merely says you're doing ok at it

Frankly I think *much* of the pseudo science around *many* diets is risible. 5:3 seems about as rigorous as anything else, *but* if it provides a workable framework to support for people in correcting their relationship with food / modifying their eating habits to promote healthy weights / body composition, then all well and good.

I wish you all luck.

Cman...its not a diet...whatever gave you that idea.

Diets are almost exclusively short term.

I am aware of your belief in that (almost) exclusive meaning, Frank. I am using it in a slightly broader sense, in the same way that I (generally) eat a low carb diet:
(definition) the kind of food that a person or animal eats each day.

See what I mean?

Which 5 years, Dave

When you were a slighty overweight... and obviously slower!

Hmm
I *think* the first photo was June 2000, I know the second was Jan 2001 so 6 months.

I wasn't actively training then *but* I only weighed about 2 stone less when I was (which was down to about 20-21 stone).

Common myth #756 in a series of several million: You need to be fit / skinny / anything else to fight. Real fights are over in literally seconds. Fitness is not really a factor. Couple that with someone who's inherently lazy, and a system which active rewards taking the path of least effort (it's usually quicker and speed beats anything else), I was simply eating enough to maintain.
Still freaked out the kids who came in, skinny as a rake and unable to actually exert themselves for more than a couple of minutes.

That is very true...also I noticed your wrists are quite large. very good in close situations when torque is reqiured
