    Hello all! I'm looking into this... how do you choose your fast days?

    Whichever suit you!

    I go for the days that I'm busy at work, don't have any meetings that will have scones/ biscuits/ lunches, and I usually try to have some light activity in the evening to take me out of the house.

    Mondays are usuaully a popular choice after the weekend, and then I like Wednesday or Thursday as the second one. But you can switch them around each week to accommodate other social engagements.

    I think I am going to give the 5:2 diet a go as I struggle with diets that limit what I can eat, I just can't help giving into temptation eventually.

    What sort of meals are people eating on the fast days? Would love some menu ideas if anyone has anything to share.

    It's definitely worth joining the 5:2 group on here - lots of ideas and support on there.

    One of my fabourite fast day meals is a really easy salad.

    Tesco simple side salad - 30 calories for the whole bowl.
    Tip in a pot of grapefruit in its own juice - 40 cals.

    I've been doing 5:2 for about a month now - so far lost six pounds.

    I fast Mondays and Thursdays, although do change days if it's impractical.

    Personally, I've found I have a lot more energy and am sleeping a hell of a lot better, too. It's a way of eating that really works for me.

    Feel free to add me!

    I did 5:2 last year and lost 18 pounds in about 5 weeks. I maintained for 7months until a few (~5) Christmas pounds have accumulated. Now I'm shedding these in about 1 week!

    This diet is nothing more than common sense and a fantastic new development in weight management. Highly recommended.
