[QUOTE="paula121s, post: 1466162, member: 258856"] I tried the 800 BSD last year with varying results. While my big went down slightly, I didn't lose much weight. After 3 weeks on it I found I was getting constantly hungry and craved carbs. I am now doing a mixture of the low carb diet and the 5.2. I like the 5.2 because I don't find I get hungry, as long as I drink plenty of water. The days I am not fasting I limit my carbs. This is trial and error. I was aiming for under 100g carbs a day but have found this is still too much carbs. I am now reducing the carbs to under 50g and see how that goes. I am disabled so I struggle with exercise, this doesn't help much with either but I do do as much as I can during the day. As others have said, it is very much down to what suits the individual. I am certain that for me these will help me reduce both my BMW and BG, but it is not going to happen over night, so patience is key! [/QUOTE]
