The FastDay Forum

Well said, Shanti. That's a vigorous reply to a lot of people with closed minds! and speaks for those who know 5:2 works on many personal levels.

What a brilliant post Shanti,

Thank you, everyone - and yes, TML13, I totally agree - to each his own. My ranting was inspired by those 'others' not leaving me to my own.

Probably a side effect of working in the medical profession and being surrounded by other medical folks, but I'm constantly getting comments about the 'dangers' of fasting and why this is just a 'fad' and so on. It's irritating and I had to rant. This was a safe place to do it.

Thanks for listening!

If there Moogie offered a prize for the "best post of the month" Shanti, you would score it most definitely.

Totally on the money every point you make Shanti.

This WOL works and has turned so many people's lives around for the better. The disbelievers will continue to disbelieve probably cause they don't want to change their own bad habits.

Great post. It also makes me realise how grateful I should be that I have encountered very little negativity. I haven't told lots of people but those I have, have mainly been curious and pleased that it's worked for me - although I have had the odd 'you don't need to lose weight' comment (I know don't NEED to, I just want to reduce it a bit then stop it creeping back on, thank you - and I want the health benefits!) and a couple of 'I couldn't miss breakfast' comments, which I always thought I couldn't survive without either, but I am finding that breakfast has less of a stranglehold over me now....

Identify Completely and now I'm careful about who I share this wonderful way eating/living. Tis a shame but that's the way it is.
