Yes, she sounds excellent! Hope she inspires you (I would still recommend buying the 5:2 book, which is about £3 on Amazon, and reading it....)


(I'm going to put the link cos if you google 5:2 diet it brings the wrong book up. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fast-Diet-Healthy-Revised-Updated/dp/1780722370/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1419949619&sr=1-2&keywords=5+2+diet)

I could not do the 5-2 diet. I know my limitations . I would binge on the non-fast days. I'd rather spread my calories out evenly over seven days. But thanks for your interest and kind words.

I tried it and that's exactly what I did >.<

But your stomach shrinks! So you feel really full.........


For example, today I have had 3 small (one of those artisan loaves where the slices are about half the size of normal) pieces of bread spread thickly with butter and mackerel pate, a mince pie and a small bar of choc. (one of the Moser Roth plum and cinnamon ones). All rather wicked stuff, but when you add it up, hardly pig-outery, but I do feel really stuffed.......


I am only losing weight very slowly now, but I AM still losing rather than gaining, and I get all the other benefits about blood sugar etc etc...(read the book!)

I would eat and not stop even if I felt full, because I'd been 'good' the day before. I know I would. Eating when I'm not hungry is one of the reasons I am overweight in the first place.

I'm glad if it works for other people, but I know it would not work for me. I would find the low-calorie days virtually impossible to do, and if I did do them I would overeat on the other days, because I'd managed to do the low calorie days. If I didn't manage them I would overeat because I'd failed. It would be a disaster for me.

We all have to find what suits us,. I need to have smaller portions and not eat when I am not hungry, and do it consistently until it becomes a habit. With the help of this coach, I hope to do that.

Having my eyebrows done tomorrow still hoping to get my hair done that will help me feel better.

Bathed BooBoos and Porky princess so they are both beautiful I have them draped all over Froo appears to be in love with my fluffy jumper.

Thanks JM I went to buy the book then I forgot about amazons rule of having to spend £10 now I don't need anything else the really annoying thing is I placed an order with amazon earlier today grrr.

Never mind I will try to remember to get it next time I need something else. I don't need to lose much weight but have started to put weight one so need to stop that and think this might help with that. I won't start it yet as still not back to eating properly but once I am will give it a try.

I don't know what I do. I follow the instructions but it never tastes...right. There's no such thing as too hot.

Except maybe the kismot killer. I'm not that stupid.

NB Some swearing so don't watch if you don't like it.

Have you tried the takeaway secrets version? I can pop it up if you'd like I also make the chilli from that in mince for tacos and chicken in the slow cooker for nachos/rice.

Ooooh, good idea, Pyxis! WaSp uses more towels than me! One for his hair, and one each for the top and bottom of his body!

We all use the Egyptian cotton towelling robes from Dunelm its brilliant In Sale too!

If you have a load of veg you could make veg pasta sauce, or veg chilli and rice, or veg shepherd's pie or veg with noodles, or veg 'stew' with a Yorkshire pud topping!
Yum!

For all you curry lovers I can recommend a book called 'The Curry Secret', sorry I can't tell you the author as I am not at home this week, but I got it on Amazon.


It tells you how to make the sauces that are the basis for all the curry dishes you get in an Indian restaurant, and all the bread, chutneys etc. too. My favourite from the book is lamb pasanda, and it works, tastes just like the restaurant one!
