5:2 diet

zmikeo

Weigh in this morning and seem to be stuck at 200lbs, must be down to the stubborn fat
So this week have now been on the fast diet for 5 months so 2 stone lose is good and am feeling better in my body, and my 40" jeans are looking a bit loose on me but have held off buying new clothes yet, but think will have to get some jeans from asda till I stabilise

Hello Fasters, I am still here but have taken time off due to bereavement -a very close family member:( and also my DH is having a bit of a health scare at the moment:( No formal diagnosis as yet but thank goodness he has just lost 27lbs on the 5:2 because we are hoping this will help him. He is now at his ideal weight.

Although I have had a very disrupted few weeks I have pretty much stuck to the fast days and managed to knock off another 1.5lbs. So a total of 19lbs off so far and a 5.25" waist reduction. Must admit though I am finding it pretty hard to give as much attention to what I am eating as I should.

Glad to see everyone is doing well -keep up the great work. My next fast day is Monday.

Good morning to you all

Have been thinking about going on the 5:2 for quite a while, so yesterday I decided to give it a go, so I started my fast on friday 19:30 as I was doing a night shift thought it would be easier for me, have just come in from work and had salmon, capers and red onion for breakfast, my question is when do I finish my fast?

Pick any 24 hour period. If your last meal was at 19.30 on Friday, then you should only eat 500/600 calories in the 24 hours between 19.30 Friday and 19.30 Saturday.

Well after the ups and downs of the week, I have finally settled on a lb loss this week, so hip pip! I think when you see it going up you think it's all over. So don't give up everyone, well done to everyone so far. I am just reading about the overnight diet where you power up for one day by drinking a juice for one day and 6 days of eating fuel up foods, then my eyes glazed over! This is where 5.2 is doable, it is the first diet that is straightforward.

Should that be until Sunday morning, 36 hours?

500/600 calories (women/men) in a 24 hour period.
