I bet everyone already does this but I have found a portion of sugar free jelly @ 11 cals really gets me through afternoon. I am only on my fifth fast and am finding it suits me to have about 120 cals breakfast 80 cals lunch then 300 for evening meal.that total includes two cups of tea with semi milk and a 40 cals choc drink before bed. Other than that black coffee herbal tea and water. I find I'm actually looking forward to my fast days, will this change I wonder.....

Hi jay52,
Sounds like you've got the hang of things. Most of us have something to help us through the fast days, for me it's something salty if I really need something. I've been doing it a bit longer than you and now find most fast days I don't eat or drink anything except hot herbal teas until around 6 or 7 o'clock. The great thing about 5.2 is that there is no right or wrong way - it's up to you really, as long as you stay within your 500 cals. it's all fine. Good to see you've lost weight too - why don't you think about posting your progress with your stats? Keep posting!

Me too. 10 calorie jelly is a winner. I save all my calories for dinner. I also have a 40 calorie hot chocolate before bed
My personal take on 5:2 is;
Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays 5:2 36 hours
Green tea all day then less than 500 calories in one meal in the evening.
16:8 all the other days, wey-hey at weekends and daily weighing
It worked for me sloooowly
Height 5'4"
Goal Achieved after 9 1/2 months and now maintaining
In a fasting mainteneers fivesome with pennyforthem, callyanna, stowgateresident and auriga
