Hi everyone

I just read about the 5:2 Fast this evening, and I'm going to start on it this week.

Is anyone out there doing the fast at the moment?

    I fast, but not the 5 : 2. There is a group for intermittent fasting, it's very helpful. If you haven't already, I'd really recommend reading "Eat Stop Eat" by Brad Pilon, you want to go into it with as much information as you can!

    Hi, I'm doing the 5:2 diet and I've lost 2kg in the first week. I weigh every morning just to make sure its not fluctuating.

    I'm finding the starve days hard, but I have them on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I tend to end up with brown rice and vegetables for dinner, porridge (oats so simple plain made with water not milk) for breakfast. Skipping lunch is really hard but its worth it so you have most of your kcals at dinner when your more likely to fall off the wagon!

    Good luck and let me know how you get on. Apparently its a life changing regime and can do wonders for you health.

    PS. People are saying on your 5 days you can eat what you want. I recommend you still stay within the 2000 kcals and use fitness pal as you would normally. I'll be back to a normal size 14 in no time. I just want the tummy and back fat to go away.

    PPS. Still do your exercise too!

    I have started today, and need moral support!!!

    I am following my friends plan which is to skip breakfast and have a 180cal tin soup for lunch, and then rest of cals at dinner time. My days are Monday and Thursday. I am feeling hungry now but am determined to follow it (for at least 3 months and re-evaluate).

    Who is finding this eating plan really working for them?
