The FastDay Forum

I am doing a Food Science degree at Cardiff Metropolitan University and my dissertation about analysing different diets, including 5:2 fasting diet, and comparing them to the UK government’s healthy eating guidelines. The other diets I’m looking at are low-carb ones.

I was wondering if anyone would please complete a three-day diet recall, including a fast day and at least one weekend day via an online questionnaire – a bit like filling in a diet diary on My Fitness Pal.

The link is: https://cardiffmet.eu.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0UMPQnML3XSzmst

The recall can be done as you go along (please keep page open as it doesn’t seem to keep what you’ve already entered – sorry I can’t use any other system) or you can do the three days in one go at the end.

If you give me your email address (space to put it on the questionnaire) I will send you a detailed analysis of your diet over the three days. It’s all completely anonymous and please feel free to ask any questions.

It shouldn’t take very long and I would be very grateful. I think it is a really interesting project and your contribution would be invaluable.

Thank you

Hi all,
I have just approved this post for anyone interested in assisting some research.

Thanks Deb

If anyone has any questions please get in touch and I'll be happy to answer. Or if you know anyone else who does fasting and might be interested, please pass it on.

Thanks
Louise

I'm outside of the UK. Is my participation valid?

Hi Cyclonet

Yes, your participation will be valid.

I am analysing diets using Nutrimen which uses common UK foods and will give results in what is recommended by the UK government (DRVs) measured against what your diet contains from the three day analysis.

Thank you
Louise
