The FastDay Forum

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

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 Sue.

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
