Morning All,
After having heard about the 5/2 system on the Food Programme I decided to look into it. Became curiouser and curiouser and ordered the Book, which I have now read. I am 62 years old, a vegetarian, a semi-retired translator (English-Dutch and vv) and I want to loose some weight because of my dodgy knees and because I want to grow old healthily. Not only does this system seem feasible, even in the long run, but it seems to make a lot of sense from an evolutionary perspective. So I started on the 1st of April and I've lost 1.5 kg already! My normal fast days are Monday and Wednesday, but yesterday I had lunch with a colleague, so I am fasting today. I find this site incredibly informative and helpful, so I've decided to join. Good luck all the other fasters out there.
