Hi All,


I'm Alice. Currently employed at a weight loss clinic and looking to lose weight too. Looking to learn and share some experiences and knowledge here. Don't have much time. Need to lose weight fast. Getting desperate.

Hi Alice & welcome - I wonder if your clinic will recommend 5:2 to its clients if you try it with good success?

Unfortunately 5:2 is not a quick fix as such, although most (overweight or obese) starters find their initial losses are higher - usually losing around a stone in 4-6 weeks depending on how much they have to lose. After the first couple of months it does slow to an average of around 1lb a week, which is a sustainable and healthy amount to lose.

The great thing about 5:2 is that it is flexible enough to fit around your lifestyle and unrestrictive enough that most feel able to keep doing it in the longterm, rather than the more traditional constantly restrictive diets which people usually get fed up of.

Please feel free to tell us a little more about your situation, what your goals are and what your 5:2 plans are and we'll try to give you some tips - and of course our support!

That's true... many diets get exhausting or just plain boring in the long run. Let's see how this one goes. Have to still read up about it. Sissy's wedding coming up. Need to lose weight for that.
