[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 374281, member: 6467"] [b]Re: 5:2 - warning - contains reference to bodily functions :[/b] Do you have any source for this? I think you have got your numbers mixed up somewhere. Given that a kilo is roughly 2.2lbs then a 7 kilo weight loss would be about 15.5lbs or over a stone! I suppose that if you are a great deal above your ideal weight you could achieve this kind of loss in a week, but if your overall aim is to lose about a stone to get down to your ideal weight then I don't think that any safe diet could achieve this in a week. I have heard that most people can lose around 4lbs quite quickly and that much of this is water but this is a long way from 7 kilos.

Clearly if you find that difficult you can increase, but you won’t see so much change. I do it Mondays and Thursdays, you can choose which days you want. Doesn’t matter if consecutive or not. On this you should lose around 1lb of fat a week; the apparent weight loss will be more because you will also lose water. Drink loads on fasting days." So on the 5:2 diet Michael Mosley expects the average person to lose a pound of fat a week plus some water. Losing four pounds of fat a month plus a bit extra due to the water is pretty good - I will be happy to achieve this. So far, having lost 3lbs over the initial low cal day I have managed to keep this off (just) and I will be more than happy if I take off another pound or two after the second low cal day tomorrow. I am assuming that the first loss will include spare water and that any subsequent loss will be a bit slower. Cheers LGC [/QUOTE]
