I suspect you needn’t worry about that. In The Blood Sugar Diet, where such speed of weight loss is quite common, Michael Mosley tackles the issue of speed. There is well conducted research indicating that speed is fine, and that contrary to the myths, people who lose quickly are more likely to keep it off. The BS diet is 800 cals per day combined with low carb eating for 8 weeks, giving a very low cal count per week and across the period. The only risk of low cal dieting seems to be potential lack of nutrients, and he emphasises the need for variety of foods, colour range in veg ( colour indicating nutrients) and ensuring there are sufficient fats in the form of olive oil, butter and fatty foods like avocado, cheese and yogurt for calcium and oily fish.

Some people on that site discuss with the dieticians there staying on the diet for longer and many do so. Others go onto an augmented 5:2 using 800 cals for each of the FDs, then a low carb Mediterranean style diet in between. These seem to combine well for both weightloss, maintenance and keeping blood sugars stable (which is the prime issue for many who take up that diet).

It may be that cutting the carbs, as that diet does, helps with belly fat in a way that just lowering calories doesn’t. I don’t know of research on that, but in any case, to ensure you get sufficient nutrients, the range of foods he suggests instead of hi carbs would be a help anyhow.

I started the diet on January 1st and lost 5 lb for January and February. I start worrying that I am losing too fast, but I wish I did not worry about that. The worry get me off the track, and I lost 3 lb in March and only 2 lb in April because I did not stick to a plan. When I started I did 36 hours no calories fasts twice per week, now I cannot complete a single 36 hour no calories fast for a while. When you get off the track, it is hard to be back.
I suggest, you continue and be happy that you are losing until you hit your target.
Exercises are helpful to tone the body and to build up some muscles to replace the fat.

Anyway, we are all so different, and what is working or not working for me could be really good for others. The best way is to listen to your body and your feelings.

Great job so far! Wishing you to reach your goal soon!

Glad to come across this post. Today is my 6th day on the diet and I’ve already lost 11lb! I’m happy and shocked, but also wondering if it’s safe that I’ve lost so much. I do have a lot to lose though, started at 106.8kg and I’m only a 5’2 woman.

On non-fast days, I have been watching what I eat and try to keep under 1200cal. But I’m still tweaking that to see whether I should up it to 1600 per non-fast days. Some days it would go up to 1600, when I would snack more or have desert with dinner. I’m not depriving myself of anything that I want to eat on non-fast days. Just watching more closely on what is it that I’m consuming and how much of it I am having.

Hope this fast pace is OK. I do worry about lose skin at this rate. Any tips on how to prevent lose skin? Any types of food to help skin elasticity?
