Hello everyone I hope I can join you here for support. Been doing 5:2 for about 4 weeks now and already I have lost 5lb. I can't believe how easy it is and hopefully sustainable. I'm really attracted by the health benefits having watched the programme last year. It seems to make sense. I could do with a couple of stone off, though I'm tall and active so not too worried and I'm not usually a fan of strange diets. My choice is normally healthy eating and reduced portions to slim down a bit but of course you get fed up with that after a while and the cake tin calls. When you feel 60 approaching rapidly it focusses the mind.

Hi Gill & welcome! 5:2 certainly seems to be sustainable, I've been doing it 6 months now and don't feel like stopping 
I've tried various diets, as well as just plain old reduced portions, cutting out the 'bad' things and exercising more but I found I couldn't keep at it and that now I'm in my 30's it doesn't work as well as in my 20's. 5:2 has been a revelation!
