Hello I'm new to this forum

I started the 5:2 last week after reading Michael Mosley's book Eat, Fast and Live longer.

My first fast day was hard, snacked on yoghurt and fruit until I reached 500. The next fast day was easier with two small meals at lunch and dinner. Then this week on Monday i went through until 8pm and had the whole 500 calories - this suits me much better plus I fasted for 24 hours. I then randomly decides to fast Tuesday too which I managed but will do non consecutive days in future. So far I've lost 6lbs and have finally found a diet which works for me!

Hi & welcome :)

Sounds like you're doing well so far, not only with the weight loss but already having found which way works best for you. I also do a full 24 hours followed by my up to 500 cal dinner. Consecutive days are harder - I've only done it once. Well done on trying that so early on!

Welcome to this forum anewkezintown. Hope you've settled in well. Well done on your weight loss. The thought of 2 consecutive days of 500 calories only is too scary for me. I love this 5;2 WOE and may do a 4:3 this week if hubby isn't thinking of taking me out for dinner on Fiday night at the pub.
