    I'm starting 5:2 today....I'm halfway through my first fast day and it's really not that bad! I have 100 cals left for this evening, but I seem to be ok with small meals. I'm finding in this heatwave we're having in the UK at the moment, I'm not wanting to eat much anyway!

    I agree this hot weather is certainly helping me not want to go overboard with my eating! I did my 6th fast day yesterday and it felt like the easiest one so far!

    The UK heatwave has definitely helped me fast this week too.

    Is anybody doing this while incorporating a strength training program? Seems like it'd be very difficult to do a bit weights workout on a fast day.

    I started this week and so far it's been easy. I forget to eat some days so this way of dieting works for me.

    I find I don't get particularly hungry on fast days beyond the occasional rumble, usually around 3 or 4 pm in the afternoon. My energy levels are generally good too. I think the key is in the planning.

    It is mostly, mind over matter.
