Hi all, I started my 5:2 experiment last Sunday, 3rd Feb 13, the day after I bought the book and my wife is joining in tentatively on a 6:1 schedule. So far I love it! Neither of us is conventionally overweight (I was 10st 4lbs last summer, for 5' 10" height, so BMI sub-21) but the dark months and Xmas excesses meant I had gained half a stone of obviously unnecessary fat and more worryingly my aches & stiffness from 62-year-old hip joints had become very worrying. I am following the Fast diet mainly to see if it will control the inflammation that leads to stiffness & pain, and so far it looks as though it will (and I have already lost 3 pounds!). I keep active by jogging, biking & rock climbing occasionally, and do parkrun most Saturdays. Would be interested to know about other parkrunner's experiences (improvements in performance etc.)
