This is my second 5:2 diet. My first was in 1990 and I lost shed loads 
! At the time, I was recovering from having my gall bladder removed, and during my recovery I felt fine for a few days (and ate normally), and poorly for a couple of days (when I ate very little). I was doing the '5:2' diet even before it was invented 
It really does work - I'm not kidding. Now I have an under-active thyroid, I'm having to do a second attempt at the 5:2 diet as I am turning into a porker! Hopefully, it will be just as effective.
Good luck to everyone else on it
