The FastDay Forum

Hello everybody - a newcomer here and just starting down the road of healthier eating and a healthier, repaired body. I've been at it for a couple of weeks and already feeling the benefits.
I started down this road after tipping the scales recently at the heaviest I've ever been when I bumped in to an old friend who I used to teach outdoor pursuits with and he pointed me in the direction of Michael's program and subsequent 'plan'. As a 50 year old I can honestly say that this may in fact be the best piece of 'life saving' advice I could have received. BMI is currently around 27, body fat around 26% with waist to height ratio of around 62% so am planning on getting these three measures back down comfortably in to the safe zones where they belong and then keeping them there
Anyway - I am intrigued for those on a 5:2 regime which days do you have for fasting - mine are currently Monday and Thursday and this seems to be very popular from what I can read and I'm interested in just how popular. Please feel free to reply and vote - cheers and see you elsewhere in the forum too.

Hi oldestswinger and welcome!

There's already a topic with a poll on this very subject here:

Welcome to the forums! Glad you are enjoying the new lifestyle!

I hope you don't mind, but I've removed the poll from your initial post as we want to try and keep all the information together on the other topic.

Good luck with your new way of life. If you are interested in statistics and how this is working, you may find lots of interesting information in the Nerdy Stuff section. Also, if you sign up for the Progress Tracker, you can see how the diet is working for others starting from a similar position as yourself.

Thank you both, progress tracker has been sorted and looking forward to contributing and asking questions as we go.
