The FastDay Forum

Hi Everyone, so I started the 5:2 diet two weeks ago. I didn't really know what I was doing. Just read an article about it and thought it was worth a go. So I chose Mon and Thurs as my fast days as just go started. Have managed 500 cals a lot easier than I thought although I do find myself having the same thing on fast days!!! Just easy that way lol.

So I just about to start week three and have now bought the book and am starting to understand the science behind it. I also am changing what I eat.

One question - has anyone done the 4 day fast? I am thinking of doing it this week after a heavy weekend being Easter.

5lb down in two weeks - 10lbs to go until first goal for business trip on 13th May.

well done, what a good start. I am now going into week 6 today, & i to was tending to stick to the same foods on a fast day (Mon/thurs), but this last week, have made some changes, & am now on fish & veggies for evening meal (was on a ham salad originally). I think it is a good idea to make some small tweaks so as not to get bored. Keep up the good work, & you will soon reach your first goal.
