5/2 diet
-
<p>There was another diet I heard of for fat burn which was the opposite - 5 days on, 2 days off. From the guy who did the Spartan Program.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Each of the 5 days was basically the same thing: calorie intake down to 1100 based on a strict menu of a basic mince meal and a basic shake (I've got the recipes somewhere). Only other intake was water or coffee for stimulation if you want it. No sugar, grains, or anything carb pretty much. On Day 1 go for a 45 minute run to burn out all the glycogen, the idea being the protein/fat based meals will switch your fat burning on when there aren't any carbs to supplement it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Something like that anyway. Haven't had the nerve to try it yet, because 1100 calories a day when I'm at work is a bit nuts, and at home is nigh on impossible when you're out and about looking after the kids.</p> -
<p>1100 a day for 5 days would suuuuck!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>750 a day 2 days a week is bad enough that I dont really look forward to the days!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BUt it is working, so once I get back to 90, increasing the calorie intake (to about 1000 or so) or doing only 1 day (@750) will be the options I will look at.</p> -
