The FastDay Forum

Yes, I agree, moderation is key. For me listening to by body has been paramount to my wellbeing. So in my teens I reduced overdosing on sugar and now I have reduced some carbs as I realise late in the day they make me feel unwell. As result I feel fabulous and very happy. I eat sweet treats and carb treats and enjoy. x

i was sent this by someone outside the forum today.. seems you are talking about Sarah already

apparently the weight loss is incredible and im thinking her philosophy in conjunction with IF is a sure thing. Must admit i couldnt totally quit sugar but i can reduce.

I received a copy of Sarah Wilson's IQS book for my recent birthday and do like her approach. Looking forward to trying out some of her recipes.

I think we've all been there.

I know personally, I'm happiest when I have just a little bit of the beast that's screaming "eat me!!' Totally avoiding all things sugary, sweet and delicious makes me miserable. But I have learned that 1/5th of a piece of cake can be as satisfying as the whole slice if I take small bites and really, really enjoy them.

So much wisdom on this thread. I agree with all the people who said that the reason they love 5:2 is that we don't have to give up on the pleasure of eating, and eating what we like. There's nothing like deprivation to set off a binge. Repeat after me: THIS IS NOT A DIET.
