Combining SW and 5:2/6:1

[caremummy]

I bumped into 2 people from my SW group in Morrisons & ended up having a chat. Somehow, we got on to the fact that they combine SW and 5:2/6:1 for a slightly better weight loss. One of them has the same long term condition as me and she is almost at target. Sorry for the rambling, basically has anyone got any experience/thoughts on this ? Thankyou xxx

I've 2st 9lbs to lose x

I've been considering this, let us know if you try it.

Will do 🙂

Right, I'm going to trial it for a few weeks - 500 cal days Monday and Wednesday. Other days following SW. Xx

Don't know if you're aware - there's been a change to the calories allowed on 5:2 fast days - it's now 800, not 500.
Here's some info for you - new rules

Thankyou xx 800 is much better for me xx I'm away on a camping trip anyway so will start properly monday x

That change to 800 calories is only if you are following the 5:2 Mediterranean diet. As in 800 calories on two days and then lowish carb Med style the other 5 days.
If you are eating a normal diet then it's 2 days at 500.
