Perhaps just end up on a Friday and plan not to do anything too stressful on the weekend (but stay active of course). The worst i've had is short-term tiredness and headaches. By Monday I was fine.

Some excitement, realistic goals & expectations and the right motivations are the keys to success. I'm not so sure there are many tangible health benefits to lemon in water. But hey, if to you it adds some flavour then i'm sure there isn't anything bad about it - minor amount of fructose is...

congratulations Katie

I've seen the documentaries regarding this type of dieting. Based on my own internet research (but focusing on actual documented studies) it seems the proposed benefits of the 5-2 studies were done in mice and does not readily translate across to humans. By benefits I mean the cancer-prevention...

And more than once I've not slept an entire night and have never felt any negative effects. Doesn't mean it is good for your body / health. Have a look around this site about people whose weight loss has stopped and only re-started loosing weight after eating properly/healthily

What is your concern here? Whilst Phentermine is not methamphetamine - they do share very similar chemistry. Even if it does produce a positive in a road-side police drug test, it needs to be confirmed by proper laboratory testing. In that it will definitely confirm what it is, so the risk of...

Hi Issy, wow, there are so many posts I could reply to, I've chosen this one since you state "consume nothing but water" and are focused on weight loss in a defined period of time. Firstly, you need to eat. Irrespective of how little appetite you have, you need to eat. Take the lack of...

Any updates Will?

How did the measurement / update go?

You'll no doubt lose some weight from residual food / digesting food leaving your body and not being replaced. Accompanying that, the "water-weight" loss. But for sustained weight loss and changing your habits you'll need to eat an appropriate amount of calories for your body. Especially if you...

As mentioned in other thread, I started adding more fibre to my diet and that helped get things back to normal. Helped with the plateau!

It will really suppress your appetite, so much that you can probably go the entire day without eating. But you need to ensure you still eat breakfast, lunch and whatever healthy snacks you need to reach your target calorie intake. The goal should be for a lifestyle change of exercising...

Congrats FeeFee (Fifi?), I haven't worn a heart rate monitor for some of the exercise I do (squash and skating), but I did notice a couple of times being more lethargic, but I put that down to the reduced calorie intake rather than 'doing more' in the same amount of time.

Rather than looking at the branding of the protein shake, have a look at the protein to carb and sugar amounts. Generally speaking one main difference between the "meal replacement' and 'protein' shake is the carbohydrate amount. Again those 'mass gain' protein shakes have tons of carbs and...

Well done - excellent effort!
