The Strategic Approach

I have decided to take a very strategic approach to this weight loss journey. As already mentioned I have a lot of weight to lose to be considered healthy and I am factoring in that there will be period of zero weight loss, perhaps for several weeks at a time.

As I noticed yesterday The 5:2 Plan is working for me at the moment but I imagine that after the first (or maybe second) stone the weight will stop going and I will hit a plateau. This is where strategic planning comes into it, I have deliberately started this plan with little or no exercise and I will be using the following methods for kick starting the weight loss again;

Plateau 1: Introduce bi-weekly 30 minute workouts at the gym

Plateau 2: Increase to tri-weekly 30 minute workout

Plateau 3: Increase intensity of workouts to 1 hr

Plateau 4: Switch down to 4:3 fasting

Plateau 5: Increase to 5x weekly workouts (ouch)

If I plateau again I’ll make a short switch to ADF (alternate day fasting) but hopefully it won’t come to that. My theory is that with 5-5.5 stones to lose I will plateau around 5-6 times.

Any thoughts? Any better ideas?

Using the Right Activity Levels - (or don't lie to yourself)

How active are you? Can you answer this honestly, without padding it with extras you assume will constitute a higher activity level than you actually achieve? You might think that being a parent of an energetic pre-schooler would keep you active, but the sad truth is that it doesn't. What about all the washing, cleaning, cooking, laundry, and playtime? It doesn't account for much besides the average daily movement. You need to ACTIVELY increase your activity levels for it to make any difference to your estimated calorie intake. Doing active things that are part of your daily routine is normal. Otherwise, we could quantify every trip to the kitchen to make a drink or walk to the bathroom as part of our regular exercise. This is not the case. TDEE vs BMR The calorie calculator that I use on my weight loss journey is from the 5:2 Fast diet website. It's one of the better ones for accuracy and tweaking for activity, and weight down to 0...

Hot Weather:Activity Ratio - It's terrible

No matter how determined you might be, when the weather gets too hot, motivation to move goes way down (unless you have a strange fetish for being drenched in your own sweat). Hot weather has thoroughly beaten us here in Cyprus. While we're used to the usual Mediterranean climate, this year has been weird. Winter, winter, (can't be bothered with Spring) mild winter... Crap, it's May already. Here have SUMMER! And BOOM! Straight from low 20s to high 30s (that's degrees Celcius) in just a couple of days. I won't lie, it has drenched me in my own cooling fluid for nearly a week, and my motivation to move has been somewhere subterranean. Just as I had gotten into a routine of walking and quick bursts of high-intensity activity, I now have no desire to move at all. Don't Beat Yourself Up I have a half-baked theory that we shouldn't try to push ourselves too hard in extreme temperatures. I'm heavy, and like many others who struggle with their weight, it ...

Finding Normal - The Transition from Overeating to Correct Eating

If you're overweight or in one of the next obesity classes up, there must be an imbalance in your eating habits. It's probably crept up over time, not realising that you were putting a little more on your plate, the extra snacks that turned into a habit, even finishing the kids' leftovers after dinner. Maybe you started drinking more, or you stopped exercising. Perhaps you also quit smoking and transferred your oral fixation onto food instead. When you begin a diet much of the time, you feel some deprivation. You're not just eating what you should be; you're eating EVEN less. I'm switching things up this time. I'm eating what would be reasonable for a person of my size, weight and activity - Okay, perhaps I'm underestimating the activity level a little. NB - Diets that claim you can "eat as much as you want" don't help you get back to what should be standard for your body. They maintain the over-stretched stomach and don...
