Hello, I started the 5:2 diet plan on July 25th. So far I have lost 9 lbs - Yay!. My question is: I am finding that I am full just shy of the 1200 calories alotted on feast days and worry that this will trigger starvation mode. Does anyone know the answer to this?

Thanks in advance.

    Why on earth are you eating so little on your 5 days? They should be "normal eating days" not a massive calorie restriction.

    This is not the way 5:2 works - you are eating far too little and not following the 5:2 plan at all.

    I having been paying attention to why I eat and trying only to eat when hungry. Maybe I will try to eat more and see what happens. I really don't feel deprived at all because I am not hungry. I never ate vegetables before and now I am and loving how they taste. I am also eating a lot more fish and the only thing I have omitted was chips and bred (my downfall).
