The FastDay Forum

Hi! I am starting 5:2 today. I have two books, The Fast Diet, and the 5:2 Diet, and I can't read enough about it! Here in the States this eating plan is just getting its footing. I hope it becomes popular; it's a wonderful concept I feel I can live with...finally a way of eating that clicked immediately with me.

I have started eating a plant-based diet, have a lot of weight to lose, and today is my first fasting day.

So glad to meet you all!

Hi Sheryl and welcome!

Good luck with your first fasting day.

Thank you Jemima. This is the year I shrink out of my clothes too! Just love that signature!

Good luck to you. Keep us posted on your progress. I'm looking to start next week after I have read my book. Seems simple enough.

Hi, welcome and good luck with your first fast. It gets easier as you go along, the most surprising thing is your attitude to food on non fast days. I love to snack in the evenings, at least I did, now I rarely think of it.

Thank you for the welcomes!

Welcome! I just started on Monday with my first fast! It actually wasn't too bad at all.

GOOD LUCK!!

P.S. I love your signature, too!

Hi there! I'm new too - first fast day today, feeling absolutely fine and so motivated.
Like you I've got both books and the plan sounds great.
Keep us updated with your progress!
I lost 8kg on Dukan last year (nothing like a wedding to motivate a gal!) but have fallen back into bad, piggish habits and I'm hoping this way of eating will be much more lifestyle-friendly.
Good luck everyone!
