[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 375392, member: 6467"] [b]Re: 5:2 - warning - contains reference to bodily functions :[/b] Woo hoo! Lost another pound overnight :D I am eating 'normally' but for me that is medium-low carbing. I indulged myself for a bit with bread and pasta (lasagne and stuff) and found myself bloating up to that 13 stone 3 lbs. I was also having rice with Indian food. Now I'm off the evil white stuff again I seem to have lost the bloat and started to lose weight again. It is quite noticeable on my waistline when I eat wheat - one extra notch in my belt. Before, without this 5:2 diet and with just low carbing and sensible eating I got down (briefly) to 12 stone 6 lbs so this is a target for me this year. The other thing is I find wheat gives me cravings - if I eat bread especially I am constantly hungry and really fancying another piece. Which is a shame, because I make a stupendous seedy loaf in the bread maker with wholemeal flour and 5 different seeds. [Note: can't find a smiley for <Drooling>. :lod for lots of dribble?] So when I am low carbing, and especially when I am low carbing on 5:2, I find I don't feel hungry between meals or have cravings for food which makes life a whole lot easier. However, wheat and carbs are addictions (still waiting for the Council to designate a clean room for safe ingestion) so once I back slide it takes a major effort of will to get back on the straight and narrow (such as that prompted by weighing in at 13 stone 3 lbs with a podgy belly). Cheers LGC P.S. for those who think that just doing a week of 5:2 is guaranteed to take off nearly half a stone (I lost 6 lbs) I must in fairness point out that the start of 5:2 was also the start of a stricter lifestyle. 5:2 diet low carbing big increase in exercise - long walk every day the 2 also involves no booze two days a week which could also be significant :oops: [/QUOTE]
