Huntingnurse reacted to TES in 5:2 intermittent fasting thread--open to all July 22, 2013

I wanted to start a new 5:2 fast thread that is open to everyone--include pre-op and post-op VSGers (there is another thread that you can read but can't post to unless you say you are at least 1 year post-op). Obviously if you are considering this plan, which involves very low calorie intake 2 days a week and eating regularly the other 5, you should do so with your RD's and surgeon's/PCP's approval and guidance. If you are losing well using traditional means, then you might not need it--but it should be up to you and your medical team if you are interested in giving it a try.
Here is some info:
dinner. For us, that would be tough to do given our capacity, unless we did very calorie dense foods at dinner.
For my "feast" days, I'm going to eat regularly (800-950 calories, up to 1100 when exercising hard, if I feel that I need them), and for my fast days I'm going to do Protein Shakes with low-carb veggies if desired. Many/most people eat regular foods on fast days. Fast days cannot go over 500 calories, so that will be about 2 to 3 Protein shakes depending on the source, plus about 100-150 cals of low-carb veggies. I'm going to continue to keep my diet high protein/low carb. I will continue to exercise and am aiming for 100 ounces of Water per day.
I will post here to let everyone know how it's going and hope that others will post about their experience as well!

This and maybe we (men) value and enjoy womens' opinions so much that we don't mind you participating in our posts in the men's area.

My six month mark was 6/30 - down 85! Averageing about 10lbs a month. Hopefully it keeps up. Only 32lbs until i can apply for Air Force and 38 to my personal goal of 180. Id technically fall into the overweight BMI but i dont care. The BMI chart says for the HIGHEST normal BMI id need to weigh 168. That sounds gross skinny for someone my build.

I went to New Orleans just a few months out of surgery. I lived on shrimp there! Acme Oyster House was a big favorite with the group I was with. I wasn't partaking in copious amounts of alcohol that trip so I tried to find other things to do. So I signed up for a haunted history tour. It was fun and incorporated my new active lifestyle into my love of history and ghosts!
