Your weight will fluctuate quite a bit on this method - try not to think of it as gaining and losing in a matter of days, look at the long term trend.

Good FDs on Monday and Wednesday this week. Had to be Wed even though that's my day off, but I kept busy with housework and a pamper session. My new find this week has been "courgetti", spirallised courgette (zuchini) sold in Tesco. I steamed half a carton and stirred through a couple of cubes (14 cals each) of Laughing…

I doesn't burn as much as you think it might - my weekly parkrun of 5km (3 miles) which I can do in under 30 mins, burns around 300 cal.

Breakfast - eggs, smoked salmon or Greek yoghurt with berries or flax seed. Lunch - chicken salad or a tin of tuna. Dinner - prawn stirfry with shiritake noodles, fritatta, or steak with steamed veg. Snacks nuts, hard boiled egg, cheese.

Had a good week, 2 solid fast days, including having meals I could share with husband. The scales are down a bit, though I cant see just how much (they're new scales, and I preferred the old digital ones!). Went out running yesterday without the dogs, and managed 12km, the longest distance I've run this year.

Are you sure you're recording accurately? A spoonful of peanut butter or half an avocado should get you there.
-
Porridge? (Oats) How many different breakfasts do you need?
-
Wow, so jealous! I really want to see the Aurora Borealis. Sometime's it's visible from parts of Norn Irn, but you need to be well away from city lights.
-
Not too bad! Had 2 good fast days last week - Tuesdays and Thursdays go well as I'm out in the evening. Indulged a bit too much at the weekend celebrating Chinese New Year, and also managed to fall while I was out running with my dogs, so my exercise routine will be a little more gentle this week.

It seems an extreme reaction. Yes it's possible to have a healthy vegan diet, but it wont automatically mean weight loss.
-
5 a day will mean carbs. Fruit particularly has a lot of sugar (which is a form of carbohydrate), veg also. Some people count "net carbs" which allows for the fibre content in veggies, but it's not really necessary unless you're trying for ketosis. Presumably you want SOME carbs?
-
Hi folks, trying for Tuesday and Thursday this week.
-
My breakfasts rotate between: Eggs scrambled in the microwave, with some mushrooms, spinach, ham, tomato, cheese (maybe not all of these every time!) Boiled egg with marmite soldiers, or asparagus spears One slice toast with marmite and cottage cheese, or half an avocado and a squeeze of lime, or thinly sliced tomatoes and…

Still calculate what? You could always log something, and then remove it, so your "streak" is maintained. If you don't close diary all the entries are still there.
-
Need more information! When you say fasting are you consuming absolutely nothing, and worried that your "X day streak" will be lost? Or you're consuming a very small amount and it wont let you close your diary? (You don't have to push the button)
-
What is so hard about it? Buy a recipe book. Or just google or pinterest for ideas. Is there anything you'd be interested in learning how to make?
-
You can buy 4-packs of yoghurt. And you can find flavoured tuna packs in the UK too (John West). For "stuff on toast" I'd go for a jar of good peanut butter, some dairylea cheese triangles, marmite. I also keep tins of soup in the office. Snacks - individual cheese sticks, nakd bars, snack packs of olives.

Clunk click every trip!

Chicken or turkey baked with veg (peppers, courgettes, aubergine) Prawn stir fry with spirallised veg noodles Fritatta (pea and feta is a favourite here)
-
Yeah, I think you need to work on the getting up at 3 for a snack! That's not really a great way to continue. What other things have you tried to just go back to sleep in the middle of the night?
-
Yes, a SPECIAL snowflake!
-
Greek yoghurt - sometimes with homemade granola, sometimes with berries or flaxseed. Toast - one slice with avocado, or cottage cheese, or humous, or peanut butter Banana pancake - smashed nana with egg white, beaten and cooked in the micro porridge overnight oats smoked salmon

Not good form on her part, at all.

Dieting and weight loss isn't a "one size fits all" approach. 5:2 has been around for a few years now, and has some science to back it up. It suits some people, others not so much. But there's no harm in trying it for a while - there's no special foods or equipment involved. I've been doing it for 3 years now, and I know…
-
Great work all! I'm surfing through today on a succession of black coffee, miso soup, Bovril, fizzy diet ginger beer and buckets of water. I've got some lovely turkey breast for dinner, might stir fry with pak choi and broccoli.
-
There are HUNDREDS of vegetables - you don't have to like all of them. If you've had 6 servings you're doing well! I try to get them into most meals - spinach and mushrooms in my breakfast eggs, salads or soup based lunches, snacks of crunchy cucumber or carrot, stir fries for dinner with peppers, broccoli, mange tout.

Wrap in parma ham, and bake in the oven on a bed of chopped peppers and tomatoes (Hairy Dieters Medditerranean Cod)
-
Go for the smallest item. Starbucks have little mini chocolate brownies, or else a tiny macaroon.

Bought new scales at the weekend, so I now know my starting position. It's not pretty.... Had a good back-to-back fast last Mon-Tues, but wont be able to do the same this week - a colleague is leaving on Tuesday so there will be buns aplenty! I'm also going to a dance class party that evening, which will include sandwiches…
