    There is a 5:2 group with lots of members sharing their success. I've had weekly losses of about a pound a week doing it properly (and not overeating,) which is healthy for me.

    Thanks ever so much going to start reading book now , sounds pretty simple , was either that or Atkins shakes only thing is having first baby ( 3 weeks old) was bit bad time not allowed to exercise or even go for long walks for another 6 weeks so need diet that's quick and easy to do plus gained over 50 lbs never been so big and really upsetting me as weight just not shifting yet and struggling as with him being poorly and being at doctors and hospitals hard to do diet where you have to prepare. My fiancé is dead against me using shakes though!!

    Thanks SO much for the advice really appreciate it will look got the groups now .

    nothing special to buy, just eat 500 cals two days a week and "sensibly" (ie TDEE or maintenance) the other 5 days.

    I'm just getting started with my fitness again and wanted to try the 5.2 diet too!
    I'll add you on MFP if that's ok?
