I'm seriously struggling with weight loss. I Very low carb 95% of the time. I will admit I do have bad weeks, but I think that is often due to feeling low cos theres been no weight loss = vicious circle. I am considering different options. I did consider the Newcastle diet but not sure I can manage that. So looking at the 5:2 fast diet. I think I could do that well. I would very low carb 5 days a week then under 500 calories 2 days a week(still low carb).
I was wondering, 1 if anyone else has done this and had success? and 2 can you give me ideas for the fast days. I feel I would need some kind of breakfast, even if it's just a cheese string, otherwise my liver dumps glucose making me feel ****. I make homemade soups for my week day lunches anyway, is this a possibility for fasting days? Maybe I could have soup for lunch and dinner?
Thanks.
