Hello!

I'm curious if I'm the only Dutch one here...Like to meet other Dutchies and would like to know how you discoverd the 5:2 way of living. The BBC documentary was not on tv yet.
I'm following the fast diet since 4 weeks now. Not trying to loose weight but for the health benefits. I saw the BBC documentary on the Belgian tv and started to fast the next day:) And how about you?
Ha Dutchgirl,
there is always google translate so I will continue in Dutch...
(if anyone does not agree I will start in English again :smile: )
Ik zag in de NRC van een kleine vier weken geleden een stukje over het 5:2 dieet.
Werd aangeprezen als een van de drie zowel effectieve als gezonde diëten.
Die andere twee spraken me niet aan en deze wel dus ik ben meteen de volgende dag gestart.
Per abuis heb ik bij het registreren op het forum als startdatum 28 april geschreven; dit is dus 21 april.
Sindsdien ben ik zo'n 3,5 kilo lichter en ik hou me zeker niet in op de vijf niet-vast dagen!
Volgend mij is de documentaire op Koninginnedag vertoond op een Nederlandse zender maar goed toen heeft natuurlijk geen kip gekeken.
Ben benieuwd hoe het jou vergaat!
Dan schenk ik mezelf nog maar eens een glas water in op mijn 9e vastendag...
Joepie! Toch iemand gevonden:) Ik heb het programma van de BBC op 30 april gezien op Canvas en de dag erna was mijn eerste vastdag. Vandaag zit ik op mijn 6de dag:) Hoef niet af te vallen en hoop dit te voorkomen door op de eetdagen extra te eten. Zin om middels priveberichten erder te kletsen? Misschien wel leuk om elkaar in onze moerstaal te kunnen steunen? Hier Nederlands blijven praten lijkt me ook niet zo handig. Kijk maar;)
Hi Dutchgirl, I am not Dutch, i am British but live in Amsterdam.( not quite what you asked for-sorry !) I fast on Mondays and Wednesdays and have lost 6kg in 12 weeks. On fast days I eat all my calories in one meal at dinner time but drink lots of water throughout the day. I don't know anyone else here who has heard of 5:2 yet. Just wanted to say hi and good luck :-)
Hi there:)

Funny...you have almost the same username:)
I also save my calories for dinner. Hungry now and looking forward to eat at 18.00. I think that 5:2 can become a hype too in the Netherlands if they will notice it exist? Are you in Amsterdam temporary?
Hi, I am Dutch too!
I heard about 5:2 when I was in the UK and back home I watched the documentary on Youtube.
Ha Eep and Dutchgirl, (and dutchgill ofcourse)
I like Dutchgirl's idea to PM to support us "Dutchies".
I am 56 yr old living in The Hague. Lost almost 3,5 kilo in almost 4 weeks.
another 5 kilo's or so and loosing weight is no longer an issue, all the other health advantages are!
So I think I will keep on fasting. Now 5:2 later on maybe 6:1?
Thanks! Sending you a PM:)
Hi dutchgirl, we are here permanently ( and very happy living here !)
Hi granny well done on your weight loss, that's so much quicker than me, you are doing really well !
And hi to eap too .
Good luck to you all :-)
Hoi Dutchgirl Ik komt uit Wales maar ik sprek een betje Nederlands :oops:

Hoping to lose 10kg :cry:

regards

Sounds very cute Beach bum
Ik ben ook Nederlands, maar ik woon in Engeland (I'm also Dutch but I live in the UK).

I watched the documentary online (daily motion, I think) and read the e-book, after which I decided to give it a try. I like it very much so far (only two weeks in) and I hope to lose about 10-15 kilos.
Hi. I am Dutch but also Australian and live in Australia. Can't get my mum to try it even though she is always trying to lose weight, puts the weight back on and tries again, etc.
Oh, please keep talking in Dutch. It's so good for us all to read another language.
Zoals te zien in mijn persoonlijke gegevens zit ik ook in Nederland (Enschede). Na 3 maanden doel bereikt (10kg er af) en nu op 6:1. Bevalt nog steeds erg goed. Documentaire in July gezien (Focus) en daarna begonnen. Wat erg leuk is: mensen zien resultaat en in mijn opgeving zijn er inmiddels steeds meer volgers (van het dieet :smile: ).

Zijn er nog updates van @Dutchgirl @Granny?
