I've been using the diet for one month and have lost 7 pounds. I probably would have lost more but I went out to eat 3 times during the month and overate quite a bit on those days. I'm wondering if it would be okay to add another fast day after one of those times or should I just accept a slower pace of weight loss? Thanks!

Hi agmartin & welcome 
7lbs in 4 weeks is great and well above the average of 1lb per week! Your loss probably will slow down to around that rate in the next month or so, but don't be discouraged by that, what other way of eating allows you to enjoy all your favourite foods, eat out and still lose around 1lb a week?
It's so liberating!
If you feel you want or need to add in an extra fast, that's no problem. Some people do 4:3 instead of 5:2 although for women at least there seems to be little difference in the losses achieved with the two methods.
Having watched 'The Men Who Made Us Fat' (there's a link in the resources forum) I realised that sometimes when we overeat, it is a good idea to balance this by eating a bit less the next day. For example, if I've had a big meal out and still feel full the next morning, there's no need to have breakfast! Listen to what your body needs rather than what it wants and you can't go far wrong
