The FastDay Forum

Introduce Yourself!

Our Frequently Asked Questions topic will answer many of your fasting & weight loss questions!

If you're new and have a question or need some advice, please give us as much information as you can about your situation in order for us to be able to help you as best we can. For example, it's helpful to know your BMI/weight, how much you want to lose, any medical conditions which might affect your weight and (if you've started fasting already) how you do your fasts in terms of splitting up your calories, what you eat etc. Thanks!

fasting and depression
20 Mar 2013, 22:45
Hi all
I'm still fairly new to this WOE, it's only my second week. just a quick question, more out of curiosity than anything (sorry if this is in the wrong forum) - as someone who has suffered major depression for most of my life, i have noticed a big reduction in my depressive symptoms since starting 5:2, has anyone else had/seen this happen? Far from complaining - i am LOVING this unexpected change :grin: but it sure was a surprise!
let me know what you think :smile:

Dr M mentioned this potential effect on one of his TV appearances in the UK. Great news that it's true! How brilliant for you! :-D

Yes. Particularly on fast days. Tend to go manic on feed day's and totally hate them!! Think it's the poison they put in processed food... :frown:
