I have been doing the 5:2 for about 5 weeks now and the first couple weeks was losing about a pound a week which was fantastic. I was orinally 58.4kg and now sitting at 57.1kg (3ilbs). My current BMI is 21 so not overweight as such, but determined to look a bit better. Is it normal to have a plateau this early on,or am I subconsciosly overeating on my normal days? wondered if you're BMI was normal to start with plateau's maybe come quicker?? help...i'm losing faith at this early stage :confused:
Hi Michael well as you've said it could be your body is happy where you are right now, I personally wouldn't think its a plateau at this stage, so check out your calories on all days, and do this weeks fasts as if they were your very first ones
( the ones where we're very cautious ) thats what shook my body up when i thought i'd hit the plat :clover: Sue. :clover:
Hi and welcome:

You are not very much overweight. That means you will lose weight very, very slowly. This will explain why: 5-2-diet-chat-f6/topic6600.html
