The FastDay Forum

Hi everyone!

This is my first week on 5:2 and I'm on my 2nd fast day of the week today. The first one went ok and i am looking forward to seeing the results when I get weighed after a full week.

Notice people are using MyFitnessPal - for any Aussies out there I've found EasyDietDiary app (its free) which is also very simple to use and caters for Aus brands.

Now off for some more exercise today - every bit helps!

Welcome to the forums

Good luck on the regime, and welcome! Feel free to let us know how it goes!

Hi
I'm also a new starter, did my first fast day yesterday, which I found quite easy, not sure when I should start eating again, should I just eat normally today? Or should I wait until later in the day, perhaps I should read bait more about it!

Hi wonderwoman (I have to sing your user name in my head to the tune of the old wonder woman series )

Probably you've already decided whether to eat breakfast! If you don't feel like eating, it's ok to eat a bit later but it is best if over the day you eat more or less up to your daily calorie requirement so you get a nice big difference between intake on feed days and fast days. I usually have a late breakfast that is smaller than normal because I found that eating a normal breakfast at the normal time on the first feed day left my stomach hurting!

Hello i'm new too! I haven't even bought/read the book yet but so excited to get started after chatting to a friend last night. I'm off to WH Smiths at lunch time to get the book (hopefully in stock) and will read up tonight. Any suggestions for when i should actually kick start this? My friend reccommends fasting on a Mon (easy after a good weekend) and Thurs (knowing you have the weekend to look forward to!)but i obviously want to read up before starting on a fast day

Is it a good idea to gear up to my first fast on Monday?

Wooo this is exciting!!

Hi
I'm going to try and stick to Wed & Fri as these are my busiest days, thought it would help as I won't have time to think about what I'm not eating!
