    I'm going to start 5:2 in two weeks. Right now I am doing 18:6.
    IF is great if you need help controlling the hunger, in my opinion.

    Hi fellow52ers :)

    Please feel free to add me. I've been eating this way for quite a while now and I've lost 6 stone so far. Got another 4 stone to go. Can't imagine eating any other way now.

    Xxx

    Hi Wannabeskinnycat,

    How long did you take to shed the 6 stone?

    I keep busy and drink black coffee which helps stave off hunger.

    But it's not for everything, and it's not magic. You can lose weight without it just by creating a deficit. I just find it easier to do two days of a big deficit than every day a deficit.

    Hi you can all add me too. I am back on 5:2 after been off it for almost a year. When I first did 5:2 I found it really successful and lost about 2st in about 10 months.

    Morning, I started this yesterday too! Do most people do 2 days fasting? Only asking as other have mentioned doing more.

    Depends...........more aggressive (3 days) is more appropriate when you have more weight to lose. If you have a ways to go losing lean muscle mass is less of a risk.

    I just do 2 days (supposed to be 500) and 5 days at maintenance. I'm over 50 and not interested in losing (more) lean muscle.

    Hey just wondering what this diet is??

    2 days at 500 calories.....5 days at maintenance

    Your entire deficit comes from 2 days. Not for everyone.

    What is this? Does it work?
    It is 5 days at 1200 and two fasted days at 500 but you can eat liquid foods or other foods. You can google it too.

    NO!

    This would be the Very Low Calorie (bastardized) version of 5:2

    Started on the diet Thursday - with Friday and this Tuesday (tomorrow) being my fast days. Down 3.2 lbs already but not officially weighing in til Thursday. I can't believe I am actually losing weight eating under 1800 cals! Being used to 1200-1300 cals per day - this makes me feel calorie rich! lol I had chocolate custard with m&ms, oreos, chocolate shavings and chocolate syrup yesterday!
