I am new to this forum but not new to intermittent fasting. I have slowly gained weight over the years up to a point where I felt uncomfortable in my 28 BMI. I finally decided enough is enough and decided to try low carb diet which had worked for me successfully in the past but I got pregnant during my diet and needless to say I am back where I started and then some. After having a baby I tried the low carb again but I felt so unhealthy and tired and a colleague of mine had lost loads of weight on 5+2 diet (and I’d heard other people mention it as well) so I thought I’d give it a go. I’ve managed to loose a total of 1 stone and 4 lbs but I had a plateau just before Christmas and since then I’ve been on and off on 5+2 not really loosing any weight or one week losing and the next week gaining what I’ve lost.

I’ve now started 4+3 for a set 6 weeks and I’m finding it so hard! I lost 4 lb during the first week and have just started 2nd week. It feels so much harder than 5+2 but I’m determined to make it since I really want to loose final stone. Anybody else got experience on 4+3? Tips to make it easier? Success stories might give me a good boost as well 🙂

Thank you Milena! That sounds perfect, exactly what I need! I’ll find the thread and post there 🙂
