Pre-Diet Introduction

Hello Everyone

Firstly, Thanks for coming and reading this. Hopefully over the next few weeks months it will get interesting and you will keep reading along and checking how I’m doing. Please share this blog with friends, or if you know people who are starting diets, get them to come and have a read.

For people who don’t know me, im sure a little context would help right about now so ill tell you a little about myself. My name is Kenny Davies. I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with dieting and my body in general. About 3 years ago I dropped from around 22 stone to 17 stone. It felt great. Unfortunately, I couldn’t keep it all off.

It seems that no matter how hard I try, I always fall short somewhere along the way and little by little it piles back on again. It doesn’t help that i adore pretty much anything that can be eaten.

So here’s what I’m going to do about it. I’ve recently been reading a lot about intermittent fasting, more specifically The 5:2 Diet. Here’s how it works. For five days (Feed days) a week I can eat regular food, nothing insane but nothing out of the ordinary, just regular food. However, the real struggle is the other 2 days. On the other 2 days of the week (Fast days) I am limited to 650 calories. No carbonated drinks, no fatty foods, no starchy foods, no snacks, no NOTHING! Plenty of water and will power with a little food on the side.

What really appeals to me about this diet is that for 5 days I can pretty much (with some small changes) continue as I normally do. I admit the Fasting days are a little daunting to me but I hope that I can ease into them without too much trouble.

So here’s the bottom line. Whatever happens during this diet, you will know about it. If I mess up, put on weight or just have a bad time in general, I’m going to share it. Hopefully this will make you come back and by sharing with you, help me be a little more strict. I promise to be nothing but honest.

Tomorrow is my first day. A Feed day. I’ve decided my first fast day will be Thursday (that should at least make for an interesting post). I will share what I’ve eaten daily and ill share my weight (scary) on Mondays. I just hope I can keep this interesting enough for you to keep coming back.

Thanks
