2. I haven't had much red meat since going alternate day. I find I eat more veggies

in an attempt to pack a lot of nutrition into the one meal on my fast day.

I'm not good at following directions, so the feast/fast diet is something I can handle. It's what you don't do, not what you do that works with this diet. You skip two meals, breakfast and supper on your fast day.

I"m down to 182 now, and by next week I should be 181 to 180. When I get to 175, I'm going 5-2.

It's good to see you losing weight in such a dramatic fashion. It makes every task easier when you don't have to lug around that extra weight.


I recently went to the doctor. I had several heart tests and blood tests and the doctor said I am very healthy. We discussed the diet and she said she thinks the NIH guidelines are too strict when it comes to BMI. She said 170 should be a good weight for a man of my age. I'm 68.

Let me know how the 5-2 is working out for you.
