hi all, I'm currently using mfp to monitor my calorie intake on the fasting diet, 5:2.

Is anyone else using fasting to lose weight? How's it going for you? I'm on week one!

    How does that work? Just woke during if I would be interested in doing it.

    I am assuming you fast two days a week and eat the other 5. Fasting two days a week is very good for you unless you have health problems. You still have to watch what you eat though. Otherwise you compensate for the fasting.

    So are the two days a total fast like no calories?

    I tried the 5:2 for approx 2 days (and one of them was a high Cal day) and couldn't take it! The 500 calorie day was just too extreme for me, I was so grumpy! I've heard good things about the 5:2 so if you can manage it then well done! But I like my food too much to eat 500 - even just for a day! Good luck though :)
