I have ordered the book, just re-watched the Horizon programme, and am very excited and also a little anxious/nervous about starting this w.o.e so it is really great to read your post Dancersmum!!
Will it work for me?
Will it really work by fasting for 2 out of 7 days?
Would you see faster weight loss by having 3 fasting days?
Is it best to do consecutive fast days or split them up, or does it really not seem to matter?
Is it ok to still exercise on the 5:2, perhaps rest on the fast days?
Being a serial yoyo dieter I know I will actually do fine on the fast days as some of my drastic attempts to diet in the past have meant that I've done the odd fast day and managed it fine...... only to cave in at bedtime and eat the fridge! I will easily (i hope) be able to do a fast day properly if I knew I could eat normally the next day..........
I currently have about 48lbs I'd like to lose on this path to healthy weight and healthy body overall. I would really like to lose as much as possible in the next 6-8 weeks as this is when I will be seeing my husband again! He's working away at the moment and so when I see him again, I want him to say 'wwwwoooooowwww'!!....... and then also be able to convince him to adopt the w.o.e too.
Have a great day! My first fast going well so far (lol, its only 10:30!! lol)
