That's a very low calorie smoothie, I wish I could get those in the UK!

Better from a fruit & veg viewpoint too ...

... the big problem I think with that array of food yesterday is that a lot of it (the yoghurt, the pizza, the smoothie) is (IIRC) high GI so it gives you a sugar/happiness boost quickly, when then trails off quickly .. and yes, will leave you down this morning.

But congratulations on the calories!

There's a diet called the Rotation Diet which is based on a theory that the body, when starved of calories, starts slowing down and shutting down because it's a survival thing against starvation ... so going low calorie and staying on it for a while slows down the metabolism, and then when you have a high cal day, all those calories are stored as fat just in case rather than being left available for exercise ... so the Rotation diet cycles through one week of 1500 calories/day, one week of 900 cal/day, one week of 1500 and one week of no calorie restriction (but still eat healthy), and back around the rotation again and again. It sounds like a good theory but I don't know if it is true.

Good luck!

I've heard of other similar plans, like dieting every other day. I'm not sure how well they work, but it probably has potential. Especially if you have increased activity on the off times.
