The FastDay Forum

Hi Everyone I started yesterday on the 5:2 diet. As most of you will already know it was a very rough day and I just managed it. But this morning I'm surprised: I'm not ravenous, just ready for a good, healthy breakfast. My Fast Days will normally be (flexible) Monday and Thursday. I'll be having Breakfast and Dinner, aiming to consume around 500 calories. I'm 63 and a) need to lose weight & improve my BMI and b) want to be much healthier. Love to chat with others who have already started the journey or who also started yesterday!

It sounds like you're off to a great start, @suejen! I'm sure you'll find this place useful and supportive. Good luck on your journey

p.s. lucky you finding yourself not ravenously hungry after a fast. This seems common here. I don't exactly feel ravenous, but sort of empty, so I always eat a small breakfast (a soft boiled egg).
