  • There is a face book group 5:2 Fasting diet . Lots of help , tips and support.
  • Hi, I'm brand new to the site and am loving it so far! Thinking of trying out the 5:2 diet to shed some pounds, I've not gone under 180lbs for the past 3 months which is a bit depressing so hopefully this will give me a boost! Has anyone tried doing the fast days from 2pm to 2pm? I read somewhere that that was a good way of doing it, but not sure if it would work as well!

    Hoping people can recommend some great 500cal veggie recipes for me!

    I started last week too!
    First fast day was Tuesday, ate 534 cals over 3 meals, then my fiance came home & put a movie on so I ended up eating 500 cals of muchies ! Ooooops!
    Second fast day Thursday, didnt expect this to go well as I had a day off & I tend to eat loads on my day off. I had a dental appointment in the afternoon and actually ended up having a wisdom tooth out, so fast day ended up going quite well haha

    Planned fast days for this week are Monday & Wednesday.

    We should start a group for this diet! I might look at doing that later, at work at the moment!
