The FastDay Forum

Hmmm? I've actually gained 3 pounds in 3 weeks. I've tracked my calorie intake using the MyFitnessPal and I average about 2500 calories per day and never have gone above 600 on the fast days. Last week I was frustrated and actually lowered my fast day intake to about 300 calories. I was nearly hallucinating! Stepped on the scale last night for my weekly weigh in and I'm UP another pound.

What is going on here? Maybe this plan simply doesn't work for certain people????

Tell us a bit more ie: how much do you weigh currently? BMI? Do you know your TDEE? Are you exercising? Were you exercising before you started 5:2? What are your activity levels?

Hi and welcome:

The plan works.

Betsysgr8 is right on.

Here is some info on TDEE: 5-2-diet-chat-f6/topic6600.html to help get you started.
