Has anyone had much success on the 5 2 diet? Thinking of giving it a go.

That's actually what got me to try MFP. I was doing 5:2 eating 500 cals on the two "fast days".

After a few weeks it got pretty easy to do 500 cals so I figured why not do the right number everyday, it would be easy. So here I am lol

I'm the same. .. joined the 5:2 group on here... they're a lovely bunch.

I lost weight on it but struggled to rein it in on the off days.

Thank you. This site and app are working great for me so far. 24 day streak..hope to make it a 365 day soon ☺
I think a one day fast once a month or so for me personally anyway clears the bs I may be telling myself about being deprived about eating.
Plus this method allows any food. It's a number only. I like that.
Oh and I learn so much on these forums, it's great!
