Hi all,
Havent posted for quite a while, but just wondered what peoples thoughts might be pls.....
Started on the 5:2 back in Feb this year, and apart from a couple of 'relaxed' weeks, have stuck to it, with Mon & Wed generally being my Fast Days.
Started off at 15st 7lb, and currently, 14St 10lbs.....so all good.
I feel better, fitter, and more comfy in my clothes & skin, so nothing really to complain about.
But, and I dont know whether this is something that other Fasters have found.......I seem to have plateau'd as far as actual more weight loss is concerned.....and thinking back, I did hope that once I got to 14stone, I'd have to re-assess.
My 'Fasting Days' are generally .....
Maybe 2 cups of tea in the morning, with Semi skimmed milk and 1 suger....
Perhaps a Nespresso Coffee with Milk at lunch, again 1 suger.
No food so far.....
Another Tea or Coffee PM.....
Come Teatime, sometimes a 'light meal......Jacket Potato & Beans, or soup,
or similar.
Never absolutely rigidly 600cals, but pretty meagre for a 6' well built bloke !
On most days, I walk the Dog at least twice, and as he's a pretty lean German Pointer, that can be 3-5miles, and up to an hour and a half, and on some days, I've played Golf in the evening too, with no ill effects or 'tiredness'.
In fact, I did meet Michael Mosley in a pub back in June, and after introducing myself and chatting, he said that recent findings showed that exercising too on Fast Days was good, and doubled the effect, or words to that effect.
So here I am, 7mths in, feeling fab, but also wanting to achieve 14stone if I can, which at 51, would be as light as I have ever been since I left School as a very well built Rugby Playing 18yr old....
But - in all honesty, am I doing something wrong that is holding my further weight loss back now, or perhaps have I naturally Plateau'd at my 'ideal' weight of 14-10lbs.......???
Cheers.
