[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 5880594, member: 1232"] I didn't really need to lose much weight but I decided to reduce carbs a little bit and reduce alcohol a fair bit. I don't like the idea of eliminating anything as its not sustainable so I still eat a cake/ drink beer etc.. From all the stuff I've read diet controls weight and fitness will control heart/ strength/ flexibility etc. So for the diet don't eat much crap or if you do eat crap the 5/2 thing probably can work ok within reason. Don't focus too much on weight, focus on look/fatness Healthy food ideas - Porridge and hot water for brekky with sunflower seeds is a good start to the day. Its quite milky if left for 5 mins. Omlette (spinach or spring onion is nice) is good for lunch as is tinned fish and salads or soup (go easy on bread). Make sure your evening meal has plenty of veg and some carbs but don't overdo the spuds/bread. If you want a biscuit - eat one not two! Veg seems to have more going for it that fruit by and large (greens especially) - plan your meals too. Get a recipe book like the Mindful Chef or Hello Fresh or The Roasting Tin is a new one I got.
