Well, plodding on, as I do, I have decided to shake it about a bit for a few weeks. I am going to do the 5:2 diet along side by side with weight watchers. 2 days fasting and 5 days sensible weight watchers.
Why ?? Because it gives me something to focus on, stops me getting bored and because I like to try new things. I am finding I am getting bored with the same foods already, and have cooked lots of meals but I am now looking for something different. So instead of going off the rails I am going to focus on the 2 fasting days and keep myself on track the other 5.
What is the 5:2 Fast Diet?
It’s a different flexible way of dieting , you are not committing yourself to minimum calories every day, missing out on normal every day food, not being able to eat what you want when going out for dinner, this is may be why some people on a diet fail.
On the 5:2 Fast Diet you chose any 2 days of the week to fast consuming 500 calories a day for a woman or 600 calories a day for a man.
You choose (within reason) what you want to eat on the other 5 days; you can still go out for dinner with your partner or friends and eat the same as your family. For some people this may make dieting easier for you as you are not always thinking about being on a diet. You can simply choose not to indulge in that dessert to help you along the way.
I did originally think that it sounded easy until i realised how many calories are in the foods I eat on weight watchers. 89 calories in a banana, anything between 100 - 200 for a cereal bar. Maybe it will turn into a valuable lesson in the calorie count of foods, something I have never paid much attention too as the points value was what i followed.
Hopefully it will give me a boost into the Christmas challenge I have joined in with on the Weight Watchers Support Group, either way it has got me raring to go for another week.
Little black dress season is in the near future so I have to try something.
