Hi everyone. Just made a commitment last week to start this way of living to accommodate some health issues. Having never dieted, i have a healthy fear of being so ravenous that i may eat anything thats walking past on my fast days. So am going to try one day Monday which i will try to fast for the first month and then add a second day in the next month. I am also adding some pilates, walking and yoga to the mix. It will be an interesting journey. I hope i can stay committed and writing this kinda binds me into a contract with myself. So thanks 5 and 2 diet community. I hope i too can be one od the people that says i lost a kilo this week soon. [incompatible emoji removed]

Welcome Sabrina!
I too, had never dieted before trying 5:2....
As mentioned to Mark in another thread, hunger is quite transient. Ignore it (by keeping busy) and it'll go away. Sipping coffee, tea, water (and something salty like bouillon or a stock drink) can be quite helpful.
Mild exercise during fasting has been shown to retain lean muscle mass - a good thing. Feeling a bit tired during exertion for the first week, or so, is a normal part of the process; your body needs the time to adjust.
