how much can i lose on the 5 2 diet
Indeed, as with any diet the early losses tend to be greater as much of this is simply water weight being lost. On average it would seem that a stone (14lbs) can be lost in the first 5-8 weeks of eating the 5:2 way, depending on factors such as your starting size/BMI and activity level.Following this initial loss our statistics show that the rate of weight loss slows down to a steady 1lb per week on average.hose with more weight to lose may find they can keep losing 1.5-2lbs a week for some time longer before slowing down and those with less to lose may well find it a struggle to even lose 1lb a week.
