5:2 for life!

Finally!

by Azureblue on 28 Jun 2013, 07:53

I have arrived back at 71.0kgs, my pre-holiday lowest weight. It's taken two weeks and I did wonder if I'd ever get here but hurrah!
Now in theory I have another stone to lose to be 'super svelte', and I shall of course carry on fasting, though reading that older ladies should be in the 25-27 BMI range for good health has rather confused the situation.
Should It stay or should it go?
:bugeyes:

Eat real food. Not too much. Mostly plants.
Embracing 16:8 by eating between 11am - 7pm.
Keeping carbs down low, my daily protein aim is 80g and mindfully enjoying the good fats of organic extra virgin olive oil and organic butter.
Always look on the bright side of life :0)

That is very inspiring, Azurblue. Where did you read that older women can have a higher BMI? And how old is that? I reckon you should go on fasting as long as it feels right to you, and never mind about the weight loss. You have been on the woe a lot longer than I have and I really hope I can do as we'll as you.

Katharina is my fasting buddy.

Hi and thanks! I can't remember where the BMI thing was now, inter web somewhere, but it related to post-menopausal women.
I certainly feel much brighter and generally better so best to carry on, and I enjoy the food rest day now.
