Has anyone else noticed a change in their desire for certain foods or the quantity of food since starting 5:2?
I was out for a meal last night (non fast day) and found that I just didn't fancy eating half the chips or indeed clearing all my plate in general. This is not me!!! I don't do this , not without conscious effort (as in the old calorie/point counting days). I even looked at the dessert menu and though, "no thanks I really don't fancy one today". I wonder if it's because nothing is forbidden on feed days, there is no working out if you can 'afford' a certain food, and therefore it's no longer so desirable. Also I've barely eaten a piece of chocolate since starting 5:2. On every other diet I was always trying to work out how to squeeze some in. What are others noticing?
