    Re: Overweight to Raceweight g

    New technique discovered, the patent has been submitted.

    My kids were on a 24 hr fast (with the church choir) on Sunday so my wife and I decided to do it as well. So slap-up meal to be finished by 6pm on Saturday. Two hr run on Sunday morning followed by 1.5 hrs playing footie with my 8 year old son in the park (I lost 15-8) followed by an hour of Badminton in the afternoon. Then gorging my self for an hr at 1 second after 6pm on Sunday.
    Monday morning weight check 70.5 Kg. :thumbup:

    I too must confess, I have sinned this last weekend.
    Back on the straight and narrow again now.

    Oh, Doc I'm on the 5:2 fasting diet and its working a treat for me and my lifestyle.

    What do you mean? do you only focus on calorie control Monday to Friday. If so I am similar definitely eat more on the weekend so I need to run to counteract it!

    2 days I fast, well I am allowed 600 cals in the day.
    5 days just eat sensible but choc and beer is ok in small portions.

    This week I will fast Monday & Thursday.

    Weight has dropped off at around one pound per week and just keeps going down.

    If I go crackers like Christmas I put 4lb on but dropped it off again in 4 weeks so life is good.

    This morning I did a 5 mile recovery run. Tuna in un butter white bread for dinner and Heinz Big soup for the tea. Only water for the fluids.

    If you want more info just ask.

    I am trying to easy myself into this, not sure I will go the full hog with it, maybe just change the way I eat to higher protein less carbs but not the full Paleo.

    Stick with it Tahr, the sluggish feeling you are experiencing is your body adapting to using fat as its main fuel source. This adaption phase can last from 1 to 3 weeks but will pass as long as your carb intake is low and your insulin levels are stable. Once complete your body can tap into the massive natural energy reserve, this is known as being in the ketogenic state. You will then find massive gains in endurance and negate the need for that constant on the move re-fuelling.

    83.0 kg Not surprised it's gone up as I've been over-indulging for the last couple of weeks. I am surprised that my body fat % has dropped and my hydration % has increased.

    163.2lb up by 0.8lb but I know I have also over-indulged with my birthday and half term last week.
    On wards and back to framing now.
