Just a thought, but with so many individuals experiencing this, I was wondering if Xmas was the trigger.
Being at home, and or socialising, and not having our usual routines, did this confuse our "inner faster" and we are all now re-setting.
I'm only wondering as we are all at different stages of our own assault course which is 5.2.
I for one have had the light bulb moment and all the high fat, low carb etc, 4.3, IF talk. I've gone back to the beginning and thinking that 5.2 works all on its own. Eat less twice a week. And if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
Hi Carie @carieoates ..yeah xmas can be a tense time and a trigger for so many things going pearshaped! Sometimes literally heehee as several of us have been struggling over the last few weeks!
But FR can happen any time of year - and it can happen time after time,so i'm glad the scientists have an explanation and can tell us how to counteract it..
When FR hit me,it really DID feel like an assault course .. ( great description
!)
I think the fact i managed to lose two pounds even in FR shows how hard a battle i was fighting.
I agree with you,the 5:2 WoL is fab while its working, but we can't stop the hormones and chemicals kicking in and upsetting our well laid plans,so it's good to be prepared for the counter attack when/ if it all starts going wrong! X
