[QUOTE="lovinglife, post: 1082744, member: 22428"] My husband did the 5:2 diet with low carb on the other days about 90g carb on the 5 days. He's not diabetic but he lost 2.5 stone. The five days you still have to be mindful of what you eat - you can't really eat whatever - he had about 1800 cals on those days made up of protein healthy fats such as avacado, nuts, cold olive oil, some butter and milk, above ground veg and a couple of slices of burgen bread. You can conbine the 2 but you have to keep off the rubbish such as processed food, cereal, and starchy carbs such as potatoes, rice and flour. Write a weeks menu and buy only this, any cereals etc that push your blood sugar up bin them - try not to eat sweet stuff - train your palate to not want it - if you really need something to hit that sweet spot try a couple of squares of dark choc or sugar free jelly. Addiction to carbs is just like any other addiction that's why it's so hard but you can do it have faith in yourself. Sometimes you just have to take one day, one hour or even one minute at a time.
