[QUOTE="Lil, post: 688196, member: 17309"] Slow is good CB. WW recommends 1 to 2 lbs a week. Think of it this way - that's a minimum of 52 lbs a year! That's a good loss. If you lose slow, you are doing it because you are eating properly for the weight you should be - and if you continue that you can keep it off. (So speaks the woman who didn't continue and didn't keep it off - but darnit, I could have!) Personally, I think high and low calorie days are good for you...but not necessarily as regularly as this. But I frankly would have a great deal of trouble staying that low on any day. I think 600 calories six days and then eat all you want, is likely awful for you...probably worse than 500 one day 2200 the next - at least hers has limits on the "high" day. With 600 six days and sky's the limit on one, you aren't learning how to eat properly, you're just starving then binging. WW used to have something (it may have been an offshoot) called the Wendie plan. Basically, you would have days you ate the minimum of your points and days you ate the maximum. The flexibility worked for me. But the point is, you were always within acceptable amounts, so you were paying attention to your meals. The 500/2200 would at least keep you paying attention on the high calorie days. [/QUOTE]
