Hi I'm on the plan and I really struggle with managing my calories. I'll overeat on the first 3 days of the week and then fast or limit my calories for the rest. I don't know if this is healthy or not?
Last week I lost 1.5 kg but it could be water weight, and tomorrow is the a weigh day for my second week. Fingers crossed ,hopefully I lost more!
Hello and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum Purplesquirrel 😊
We all have different ways of doing things. But in general, it’s important to get out of the binge/starve/binge cycle. Maybe have a look at what you are eating, carbohydrates for example are notorious for causing hunger. Have a look at this for more details healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

This is a very busy forum with lots going on, and nothing beats joining in, reading posts and replying to others. Our group Weigh-in and the Daily Diary are probably the best places to start.

Hi, Purplesquirrel , welcome.
When we were hunter-gatherers, a fasting/fasting cycle was normal - and if you are losing weight, you are not "feasting" too much. Losing half a stone initially is normal - but, I think you should try to limit your weight loss to one or two pounds a week.
If you "slim smart" weight loss is not so hard! It is not all about motivation and masochism.
Some of us here find that what works is a combination of The Low Carbohydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet (see the forum here on Health Unlocked) and Not Snacking All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:
Fasting in itself isn't unhealthy when it isn't taken to extremes so you become undernourished or alternate fasting with binging.
There are fasting groups out there but few are run by particularly responsible and knowledgeable people.
