[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2479110, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=4]Hi [USER=521901]@Glyko[/USER], I think the 5:2 is a great idea. I had a giggle at your doc telling you to avoid eggs, btw ,for your gallstones. I eat a bucket-load of eggs (and see my last entry on ACV somewhere in here, on how I dealt with my golf ball in my gall bladder). Something many folks don't know is gallstones come from [I]under-using [/I]your gall bladder - it is empty, and stones form, and cause problems in the event you do eat fat again, as we all do, that fills the gallbladder and the stones rub around on the duct. They don't come from [I]using it. [/I]You are supposed to use it!That's what is there for. The worst thing you can do, actually, is do a low-fat low-cholesterol diet. (I am not pulling this out of my dizzy head - had a great consult with a gallbladder surgeon about this stuff.) And, Most medical professionals know as much about nutrition as anyone else in the community, is my experience. Don't listen to them when it comes to diet unless you think they say sensible things about food and drink backed u0 by evidence, and not Ancel Keys' dodgey study. The role of healthy fats in the diet is one of the biggest contemporary balls-ups in medical history. And many of us with T2D are here to tell the tale. (And without their gall bladders to boot!) Anyhow - desperate weight loss. If you really are desperate, then there is nothing like not eating for periods of time to lose weight. And the 5:2 is a good way to do that. Your body may respond very favourably to that gentle entre to the intermittent fasting world. But it's not just about loss, it's about maintenance, and the 5:2 is great for that too. Any overhauling of your diet is the key to maintenance, and how you do that, lowering your carbs-wise, is a matter of your personal taste. The 5:2 uses the mediterranean diet which is the darling of the medical community as well, which is a handy thing. If you use the 80/20 % stat, which I think is very reasonable - 80% of the weight loss will be about what you are eating and drinking (and NOT eating and drinking) and 20% will be about physical activity and exercise. So if you are desperately wanting to lose weight - up your physical activity, but be aware of it accounting for about 20% of your weight loss - but a whole lot more for your cardio vascular heath - yay! The rest will be overhauling what you eat and drink.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
