Is it ok to eat really high quality tasty gooey chocolate cake? It is a non-fast day and it was a birthday and the cake was extraordinary and home-made - wasn't like it was a box of Mr Kipling's!

Hope so, I've just stuffed down from homemade chocolate biscuits with some ice-cream...

Absolutely - that's one of the delights of this WOL. I've just come back from a friends 50th birthday and have had a small plate of sandwiches - 2 scones, jam AND clotted cream AND a piece of birthday cake. Fasting on Monday will compensate for what I've eaten today and tomorrow will be a feast day too, though I won't go over the top - lots of veggies with a roast Sunday lunch in preparation for that fast on Monday. Don't you just LOVE this WOL

I do so on a regular basis, so if we're not supposed to, no-one told my scales
It's a feed day, have what you like, just don't pig out (well not too much!)

This WOE is heaven-sent - so overjoyed to hear you are indulging in cream teas and home-made biscuits!
Looking forward to my roast dinner tomorrow too!
Thanks ladies, this guilt-free eating is revolutionary.

Yes.
And in the words of Forest Gump,
'That's all I have to say about that'

I've just posted my hot cross bun recipe on the recipe board:
http://www.52fastdiet.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2562On the subject of cake - I've never eaten so much cake since I was a lad, now I'm practicing IF. It's a requirement on this WOL, isn't it?
There are several dead easy cake recipes on my blog - there's even a calorie counted chocolate cake, containing only 5 ingredients, that will set you back all of 70p!

I had a Waitrose pain au raisin for breakfast
The frozen ones you heat in the oven are really good and fresh. Going out for lunch as well.

I've eaten cake more often since beginning 5:2 ( on feast days of course) than pre-5:2. 5:2 is fantastic, still lost enough weight to now be on maintenance.
