    Hi, I am new on here and new to the 5.2 diet regime, would value some support and some ideas whilst going through the process, thanks. :smile:

    They shouldn't be two consecutive days in a row. You do want at least a day in-between the fasting days according to the author.

    As far as exercise, personally, I tend to make my fasting days Tuesdays and Thursdays (but change around as needed) and I don't push myself too hard physically. Typically walking for numbers on my fitbit (10,000 steps a day if possible) and maybe a yoga or a palates video but it's really up to you and how you are feeling on the day.

    I sorta fell off the bandwagon with my 5:2 and am trying to jump back on myself! So feel free to add me for the moral support! GL! :smile:

    2. Why not eat at a reasonable calorie deficit instead?

    I'm willing to give it a try. I might start with only 1 day a week and still do appox. 1250 calories the other days.

    edit: I think this makes better sense than cheat days.

    When is everyone doing their fast day(s) this coming week? I might need companions to help me get through the day! My moving house stress seems to be triggering my stress eating...so maybe a friend or two for day moral support would help? :happy:
