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!

5:2 Faster

Starting Today
29 Mar 2013, 14:10

Today is my start day. I have read the book, and I'm good to go.

I look forward to losing weight and improving my health. This is the first diet I've found that I feel I can stick to and make a lifestyle. I've put on 50 lbs. (while going from Weight Watchers to carb counting to South Beach, etc.), and it's ending now.

I live in the United States, and I think an international forum is just great: :like:

I'm glad to meet you all.

Hi! We live in California...but I love Florida. I could have easily settled there!

The Fastdiet book is such a quick, easy read. I can't wait for the cookbook to come out now.
