Hi everyone, I'm an American living in Tokyo. I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks and have been living the 5:2 lifestyle for about 3 weeks now. In fact, I'm on my 6th fast day today!
I find this WOE great; I love only having to count calories twice a week and find planning meals for fast days really fun. It's like a challenge trying to get the maximum nutrients and satiety from 450-500 calories. I do a mid-afternoon snack and dinner on fast days. On feed days, I eat what I like, but try to avoid mindless snacking. So far, I've lost about 4 lbs.
