2:1 fasting for me. 2 days normal 1 day fasting and repeat. It means that some weeks I have 2 fasting days, the next week I will have three. But I will also throw the time table out the window if there a social occasion going on and adjust as need be.

I've only just started the diet but have decided to do my fast days on a sunday (not a fan of sunday roast) and a weds too that way with 3 days between a weds and sun if I have feel I might have over done it on my calories I can always fit another fasting day in before sun again

I fast Monday's & Wednesday's. Monday's are sometimes difficult as I have every second Monday off work. Wednesday as my husband isn't home for dinner. It is definitely easier fasting at work.

Either Monday / Wednesday or Monday / Thursday, depending on what's going on that week.

I vary the days. I decided on the WOE because my lifestyle, which requires attendance of 3 to 4 evening functions a week played havoc with any diet plan or just healthy eating plan. I used to only fast on non function days, but sometimes I have something to attend every day. I am now so aware of what 500 cals is that I can now manage to do a fast day even when I have commitments over lunch or dinner, usually choosing a soup if it is a lunch and eating very small amount if an evening and sticking to drinking water. Of course I prefer not to do a fast if I'm out, but have now learnt that I can if I need to. When I first started this plan, I weighed and counted every gram and calculated every calorie. Now I can just tell. I find this way I get less obsessed about it.

Mondays and Thursdays. I didn't realise that most people do the same. I guess it makes sense though.

I've just started but I don't think I'll be sticking to the same days each week as there's too many variables in my life. They will probably all be work days though, I couldn't imagine trying to fast on a weekend.

Im starting tomorrow and im thinking im going to do Monday and Thursday.
Monday because its the start of the week, so start as I mean to go on sort of thing lol, and Thursday because I go to my mums on weds nights for tea, so its not possible to fast then.

I also need week days, as I would never be able to fast on weekends!

Monday and Thursday for me. It began due to what Dr. Mosley had done but has become more. If I have had an extensive weekend of eating, Monday seems to reign me back into some semblance of self-control. Thursday just fits in well. I get two days of feeding before my second fasting day, then comes the weekend again.

I've only just started but it's Tuesday and Thrusday for me. Mondays can sometimes be taken up by bank holidays or long weekends whereas Tuesdays I'm at work which I think will be easier.

My work rota varies and I have to fast whilst at work. My favourite days to fast are Monday and Thursday but I have done plenty of Mon/Wed and Tues/Thurs. I tend to lose less on Tues/Thurs weeks, I think its because there is a bigger gap between fast days from the week before. Could be in my head though!!
