The FastDay Forum

Hi i'm Michelle,

I've been fasting Monday's and Thursday's since 14th Jan 13 and have lost over 3 kgs. I eat what ever I want on my non fast days and still drink alcohol.

I am so glad to find other people following this plan, I want to lose weight but I am also benefiting from other health benefits. I have loads more energy, and.. and this is the bit i'm wanting to share and see if anyone else has experienced this... I suffer from abscesses, I have had such a nasty one that became resistant to antibiotics and I had been suffering from since Oct 12. After six weeks fasting it has gone completely with no treatment what so ever! I am due to see a surgeon in April and don't have anything to show him! I am so very very happy. In fact i'm noticing how happy I am, even on my fast days.

This could be due to the steady weight loss after years of trying, and feeling like I am not trying at all!

Well thanks for reading, and it's good to be here. I hope to chat to many of you, in time.

Hi Michelle & welcome!
It's great to hear that you've had such success with 5:2, especially with your abcesses, that's fantastic! You must be delighted

I know what you mean about the happiness, weight loss has been such a chore over the years and yet this is seemingly effortless *and* I still get to eat all my favourite things - a lot of the time!

Hi Marni

That's great! How interesting about your absesses disapearing. Maybe it shoud be renamed the 5:2 cure!

I've been sleeping a lot better and full of energy the day after a fast.
