    For those 500cals on the "low cal" days...do you just eat a 500 cal dinner at the end of the day so that you've had like 18-24hrs without food, or do you spread it out over the course of the day?

    I'll have dinner the night before then on the following day (fasting) I eat lunch no snacks and then dinner bulk of my calories is at dinner time

    Amazing! Congrats, you look great, and the difference in your health that you've outlined is fabulous. I'm on my first week of 5:2 and am feeling really positive. I heart Michael Moseley anyway so... :-D
    Well done, you're an inspiration.

    I have my last meal on a normal day around 8pm then sometimes I will eat breakfast the next morning - something light around 150 calories or I have nothing until around 1pm when i have a light lunch around 200 calories - I then have my main meal in the evening consisting usually around 4-500 calories...I sometimes graze on little bits of fruit which i dont count..only things like small berries or a chunk of pineapple..nothing that adds up greatly

    Fantastic job, it's nice to see results of someone who has been doing 5:2 for a longer period of time.

    I started it in April and I still struggle to stick to 500 cals (today was low calorie and I think I finished around 650), but hey I've lost over a stone in 8 weeks so I'm happy :D
