Hi everyone looking for a bit of advice.
I have been attempting 4:3 for a few weeks now. I fast mondays wednesdays and fridays. I usually manage my fast days just fine, but I do find I tend to over eat or even binge on my eating days
I am starting to think that 5:2 may be more suited to me but I am unsure how much slower the results are compared to 4:3. I may even just do a "modified 4:3" so have 2x500cal days and maybe 1 at around 1000cals.
With exercise, I don't do a huge amount. I average 3x classes a week such as spin or body attack and follow each up with 1hr of weights. I sometimes throw in a fourth workout but I average 3 a week.
I am 5ft6 and hover between 10st4 and 10st7ish. I'd ideally like to lose another 15lbs and drop dress size (two dress sizes would be ideal in the long run but I'm ok with just dropping one for now!)
I try and average 12-1400 cals a day but as I say this often will go over as I tend to over eat on my non fasting days.
So my question is how much slower is 5:2 as apposed to 4:3? And how many calories do 5:2'ers try to average a day?
Thanks a lot for your advice. I know 5:2 may be slower but I feel it will suit me better in the long run.
