Hi I just wondered if anyone on this forum was doing the 5:2 diet and recording their calories on here and if so what success have you had with it?
I started it this week and so far it's going well, my fast days are actually easier than non-fast days! I'm doing 4:3 this week in the hope I kick start my weight loss as I don't want to lose much weight (only around 8 or 9 lbs by the time I go on holiday in June. The health benefits of this diet are supposed to be great too - lower cholesterol and blood pressure, less viceral fat and a whole host of other things.
Any comments welcomed.

I'm trying it, although I'm falling in love with counting calories in general. Thanks for the group link, I'll go join that too!
Good luck Karen0
