Ok people out there in lap band world, I have hit a plateau and I'm going insane!! Eating 1000-1200 calories a day tracking with my fitness pal and I can't drop anything significant!! Driving me crazy feeling like a failure, it's been atleast 3 months since I have seen a good change on the scales. I have heard about this 5:2 intermittent fasting and I'm interested in doing it. I have read all I can find about it online but I'm interested to hear about anyone in this forum whose tried it, how it's worked for them and any tips!! ????

I'm doing it since early September and it helped jostle my weight loss again. There's a thread I started but I don't know how to link to it from my phone.

I'm trying to find the convo of yours on 5:2 but I can't!! I would really like to hear more about it.

I actually up my calories in a stall (with healthy foods) but I go up to 1200-1400 calories for 2 days, then back to my 800-1000 and so far it has worked. I think it gives a reset - at least to me. I also increase the carbs a bit more as an overall percentage of my fat/protein/carb ratio. I do 100-150gm of carbs for those two days I increase.
