The FastDay Forum

Just thought I'd say hello to everyone as I've only just joined. I've been doing the 5:2 diet for 3weeks now. Today is my 6th fast day. My aim for doing this is to lose weight but also hopefully benefit health wise as well. So far I have lost 4lbs (2lbs each week) and hopefully some more when I weigh myself tomorrow . Does anyone else find it easier to save all their calories for the end of the day on fast days? I find if I eat earlier on then I'm hungry all day but if I don't eat I don't think about it until my meal time. Will see how I go on doing it this way

Hi Nickims4 and welcome, I'm new to this too but I just don't fancy going all day on just fluids or light snacks. So I eat breakfast then nothing till the evening. Still I may chose to experiment at a latter date.
Good luck x

Welcome Nickims4, yes I go all day and just have dinner, I find it a lot easier...good luck

Hi there, Yes, I tend not to eat untill 6pm on a fast day. I find I dont get hunger pangs if I do it that way, having breakfast just seems to make me really hungry throughout the day and it weakens my willpower.

Thanks for making me feel welcome. Just been trying to find my way around the forum. It's huge!
