Is anyone here doing this? I bought and read the book and plan to properly begin this from Monday, as over the holiday it's a bit difficult what with family and everything.
For those who don't know, this plan involves you eating a very low calorie diet (it depends, for me it's about 500 calories) 3 days a week, with a more lenient diet (for me 1700 calories) the other 4 days. The idea behind this is that you only diet half the time, therefore even if you feel deprived one day, you can eat the foods you want the next.
The book's very persuasive and seems to be backed by clinical trials, and the author himself lost 35lbs in like 3 months on the plan. However it sounds TOUGH but my downfall is food and in particular bingeing, and I struggle on heavy restriction plans because I miss bad foods too much, so the fact that I'd be slightly less hungry and desperate for chocolate appeals to me.
The author recommends using meal replacement for the first couple of weeks to get you into the plan and get you used to it. So I've bought plenty of SlimFast.
God I hope this works though, this is about the only plan I haven't tried!
I'd love to hear from anyone who has followed this plan or one like it, and how it fared for you.
