I wonder if any members have tried 'The 8-week blood sugar diet'-lose weight fast and reprogramme your body?
I've just bought the book by Dr Michael Mosley, and I'm going to give it a go. It's pretty extreme,but has had rave reviews- it's possible to lose 7kg in 2 weeks.Basically it's a fasting diet,cutting your calorie count to 800 daily (eek); the blood sugar diet is rich in olive oil,fish,nuts,fruit and veg,a Mediterranean stype of diet.
The diet involves cutting down on sugar,minimising starchy white stuff,a big enemy if mine-bread,pasta,potatoes, rice etc.
The book advises trying it for 2 weeks and if I'm finding things too tough, trying the less extreme,5:2 approach- 2 days of fasting (800 cals) and then a low carb diet for the rest of the week.
The diet also involves an exercise plan.
Are any members on a health drive?perhaps we can share stories on here?
I'm about 25kg overweight,the fattest I've ever been,and need to sort myself out! Wish me luck!!
