Has anyone tried doing the 5:2 diet alongside slimming world? So two days fasting and then rest if the days following the slimming world plan?
Why would you do that?! Why starve for 2 days when you can eat plenty 7 days a week following SW??
There's a diary floating around by CheekyChinchilla who's trying it at the moment, I'm following her at the moment as considering it when my weight loss starts to slow down. I think 5:2 really works for some people, and slimming world is a healthy eating plan, so I can't see why the two together wouldn't speed up your losses. Realistically not everyone is happy with the rate they lose weight on Slimming World alone, if you have the will-power to try it with 5:2 rather than doing 5:2 with a normal probably worse for you daily eating plan then good luck! I think I'd struggle, but I'd be willing to give it a go!

Try success express instead of the 5:2, there's nothing to gain by practically starving yourself for two days.
Whilst in theory I agree with this, if it sped up her losses it would benefit her, there are apparently a number of health benefits associated with the 5:2. Of course, I love food, that's the reason I'm big, so starving for 2 days would suuuucckkk for me, but you don't have to do it on 2 consecutive days, and you'd be amazed with what you can with 500 calories.
I know if definitely doesn't work for some people! I hate lettuce, but I think I could come up with some really tasty ideas for 500...though not sure how filling it'd all be!
Because I've lost 6 stone in weight already and I've been struggling for past year to lose final stone. So I'm looking to stick to the healthy eating of slimming world but also speed up my weight loss
