5:2 has helped me develop an eating order (as opposed to disorder).

I this!

Dhana, I haven't watched the programme and I started this on the day a friend told me about it!!!
Besides, I was fasting all my life without knowing it, as many f my friends did and still do. After a day of eating too much, we always ate around 500 calories worth of salad, porridge, fruit or yoghurt. If it was after more than one days, we did it for 2 or 3 days.
It's an easy way to maintain your weight, so why not to do it in order to lose weight...

My feeling overall was that those endorsing the 5.2 plan won the argument hands down.

I do agree, but the mods still closed the thread down. It is the hysterical defensive reactions that I find quite bizarre and even funny in a sad way, but you are right we shouldn't laugh at them we should educate them!

Sad, indeed. And kudos to you for having the patience to educate them. Personally, I dismiss those people like I do with those who dismiss a food without trying it first and say they don't like it. I hate having an opinion without experience!!!

I think the daily calorie counters feel threatened and envious of the fact that not only are we in control of our eating habits but we can enjoy a social life as well as losing weight and improved health benefits and that because of these factors we see it as a lifestyle, not just a means of losing weight.
