The FastDay Forum

Hi all,

Just discovered this forum - what a lovely bunch!

I first heard about 5:2 about a month ago from my mother, a nurse who has always hated the fad crash diets promoted by the media. Therefore her interest in 5:2 and the scientific research into its health benefits immediately caught my attention. Last week I finally bought the book and watched Michael's Horizon documentary and began to get excited. I started the 5:2 plan the very next day. I'm currently on my second fast day and am finding it remarkably easy and if anything feel more focussed and relaxed. A good start. I hope it continues!

I'm keen to shed a few pounds, a stone would be lovely, but I'm more interested in the other health benefits. I quit smoking in the New Year and really want to start treating my body with more respect - you only get one after all.

Good luck to all the other new recruits.

Hi Rachel and welcome! It always pleases me when I hear about medical professionals who are interested in this way of eating. I'm sure its no fad and that it could change millions of lives. Do let us know how you get on, won't you?

Thanks Moogie! Will do. xx
