UpDayDownDay Diet™ Plan – How to Succeed

The 'Up Day' 'Down Day' diet. I've read the whole book and there are some very interesting medical benefits to this diet, so I am going to give it a go.

Basically it involves, only having 500 calories every other day, and then just eating want you want (within reason) on the alternate days.

Being that my big problem is sustaining a weight loss program for a long period of time, because it's so restrictive, I'm hoping that this will be a good solution, as I will only, in effect, be restricted 50% of the time.

Sounds good on paper, I'll see how it goes.

Anybody familiar with this program?

no but sounds interesting


I could do with shedding 3/4 of a stone myself. Am not fat just my clothes aint fitting like they used to - the two weeks of indulgence in Turkey took its toll


I am usually really good during the week. Dont drink , eat chocolate, gorge food etc....

But Friday at 5pm (ish) i go into binge mode. Beer spirits, takeaway - then same Saturday. Sunday meal at parents with dessert to finish etc....

Then Monday good again

I feel cheated if I dont have at least two takeaways Fri-Sunday

I know exactly what you mean mate.

This one sounds good one paper, but I just reckon the 500 cal days will be so tuff, that it may not be sustainable

Gotta do something though, I am in freefall again. Of the 7.5 stone I lost, I have put 5.5 back on

[Mark TKO]

look at the positves you ain't put it all back on so less to lose !

i am no good with calories etc.. so have no idea what 500 covers

[erics44]

500 isnt a lot

i suppose you could have 3 salads in that day and a few drinks of water

A slimfast shake is 202 cals. So you can have 2.5 Slimfasts and nothing else. Or you could count calories, but 500 cals won't give you much food
