The FastDay Forum

Hi

I'm Mary - started 5:2 this week, fasting on Tuesday and Thursday. So far so good, both days went OK - I had a light lunch at 12, and dinner at 6, around 500 cals each day. I'm concerned about feast/feed days though, as I feel I have an unlimited appetite, and without calorie counting, would eat enormously. We shall see.

Great site !

Hello & welcome, Mary!

Sounds like you've got a plan. I personally like to leave 2 days between fasting days, so it's usually Monday & Thursday. For me, that helps me not go overboard on eating days... I think if I had only one day, the Wednesday, I'd go for everything in sight on that day!

Hi - thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm going to be Mondays and Thursdays from now on - last week was an experiment. TBH its the weekends I'm worried about - already got a fair few meals out, pub sessions etc looming this weekend, never mind the rugby !
