The 5:2 Diet - Week Three


So at the end of last week's update you might remember me saying that after my not as successful second week, my positive attitude had been restored. Well, that's only slightly a lie. I found the fast days easier this week as I've got into a routine of what works for me, it's the non fast days which are my problem. I seem to think that 'eat what you like' really means I can eat what I want. Now, I was out for dinner two nights this week, but I also consumed a number of creme eggs and snacks that perhaps I didn't really need to eat. 


I did make a brilliant discovery this week though, in the form of Boots Shapers raspberry jelly. A decent size, with actual raspberries for only 25 calories. Plus they only cost £1 each. This was literally the highlight of my week!

So my fast days went like this:

Day 1 - Monday

Breakfast - Porridge sachet with water (98 calories), one teaspoon of golden syrup (16 calories)

Snack - 1 clementine (35 calories)

Lunch - 1/2 pot of Spicy Red Lentil & Tomato Soup (150 calories)

Snack - Boots Raspberry Jelly (25 calories)

Dinner - 1/2 pot of Spicy Red Lentil & Tomato Soup (150 calories)

Snack - 100g raspberries (27 calories)

Total - 501 calories

Day 2 - Thursday

Breakfast - Porridge sachet with water (98 calories), one teaspoon of golden syrup (16 calories)

Snack - 125g raspberries (34 calories)

Lunch - 1/2 pot Tomato & Basil soup (120 calories)

Snack - 2x Fruit & Spice Oatcakes (84 calories)

Dinner - 1/2 pot Tomato & Basil soup (120 calories)

Snack - Boots Raspberry Jelly (25 calories)

Total - 497 calories

So this week I have learnt that you can actually eat quite a lot for 500 calories, if you choose your food carefully. I have also decided to focus more on my non fast days now that I am in a good routine the other two days. 

Wish me luck!

  10. Hi there! This article couldn't be written any better! Reading through this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He always kept preaching about this. I most certainly will send this post to him. Pretty sure he'll have a great read.

  11. Perineoplasty (or Perineorrhaphy) has an objective of making
    this area look normal by cutting out excess skin and flaccid
    skin tags. I would also like to dismiss the earlier
    notion that developing of genital skin tags should not be misunderstood towards
    developing any sexually transmitted diseases. You will find that
    your custom shapes are now available from the shape menu when
    you have the Custom Shape Tools selected.

  13. First of all, unlike having to eat 6 times per day
    every day your training should only be done 1 time per day 3 days per week with
    at least one day of rest between training days. You can
    readily adopt a complete training plan that allows you to work on all of your muscle groups.
    However, it's also easy to lose weight, even if the process itself can be slow.
