Please help me!

I am 5’1″ tall (or short) and weigh 12 stones currently.

I am not very active but am trying to go for a 30 minute walk every evening…

Please end my confusion over what calories I should have on the two fast days and how many on the other days.

I am officially confused dot com!

Also, what do you tend to have on a fast day and when and what should be avoided.

I need to lose at least 3 stones to be healthy – if I am good!

could I lose the weight by January??? Has anyone been successful and done this?

Thank you so much!

Lucy

Hi Lucy

on 5:2 you will be able loose between 1 and 2 pounds per week, so a good target would be to lose a stone by the end of January, but REALLY stick to 5:2 religiously it could be over a stone and a half. Though I think to manage a stone and a half you would have to ignore Christmas!

To loose 3 stone from a starting weight of 12 st in 12 weeks isn’t something you can do and remain healthy. I imagine it took a wee bit longer to put it on – took me about 15 years.

But you could lose 3 stone within a year, and within six months if you are VERY good – but 5:2 works for people who are good some of the time, very good some of the time, and totally cock it all up some of the time – life is like that, and thus we call it a way of life.

Good luck, that first stone will make such a difference!

Hi lucy and welcome:

This thread will answer most of your questions: https://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/the-basics-for-newbies-your-questions-answered/

It has explanations of TDEE, what you can eat (anything), when you can eat (any time), and how much you can eat (500 cal. or less on diet days, TDEE or less on non diet days).

Good Luck!
