Can someone direct me? What is 5:2?



Recommended Posts

I keep seeing 5:2 posted in various forums, but nothing that explains it. Is it a special way of eating?

I read that 5:2 is for sleevers who are over 1 yr out and won't let anyone under 1 year in their group. I can't wait to join them lol.. NUTs are the nutritionists.... Hope this helps. I am 5 months out yesterday so I'm still a newbie lol....

camihsmith and LBD

not the best definition, but................

5:2 is a "diet" plan of sort - where i believe you don't eat for two days, the other 5 days you eat "normal/small portions" of course

hopefully some one can jump on the bandwagon with a better explanation :)

good luck

I think some members here have had great success with the plan, too. I seem to remember someone saying that it was working well for long-time sleevers in the final push to reach their goals. But I'm not certain; it would be great if someone who uses the program could chime in!

(I would love to have one more tool in my tool belt when the time comes!)

Some of us made it to goal and have gained weight back. We've tried losing the re gain without any success. Have you ever heard of the 5 day pouch diet? It's supposed to get you back on track.

We believe that this gets you back on track and keeps you on track.

Others in the group have been trying for a long time to get to goal and are having trouble losing.

If you click on the post that has all the links on it, you'll learn a lot about the 5:2 way of eating. The people in the group plan to keep eating this way in maintenance.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
