Can I do the 800 cal diet for longer than 8 weeks?
I have been successfully losing weight now for the last 5 weeks (18lb in total) and I’m scared if I stop after 8 weeks then I will have 1 and a half stone to lose but may put some weight back on and/or lose motivation to get back on it after a period of being off the diet?
Does anyone know if there is an important medical reason for only being able to do 8 weeks of 800 calories a day?
Also how many weeks break should I have before I can go back on it?
Anyone’s help and advise would be most welcome.
Thank you 😊

Welcome Peachcake – brilliant results so far and there is no reason not to continue with the 800 programme until you hit your target weight. Many have done just that for months on end until hitting their target and moving into maintenance. I know that this route has been approved by the BSD Admin Team when the question has been raised with them, so if you are happy to continue it’s okay to do so.

If you do want to take a short break of a week or two, that is fine too and during that time, you’d just stick to the BSD principles, keeping carb low but increasing calories a little.
