are people following 5:2 diet posting in here too?...

[mitch2044]

Calorie counting is hard work. But hopefully worth it.

Is that a 5:2 sub forum?

 

[mitch2044]

Yes. But counting ur calories on an up day to make sure u don't pig out too much.

Got a low calorie bagel and laughing cow triangle for brekkie will have a miso soup for lunch and found a low calorie fish pie thingy from Waitrose to have for supper with some veggies, will all be fine as long as I plan! Not sure what day to weigh in on tho.

Hi, what make are the low kcal bagels? How many kcals?

As for weighing, after a fast day is probably best, so either Wednesday morn or Friday morn in your case. I started on Saturday, good luck!

Well 3rd week weigh in last night and lost 1 lb (lost 2 first week and put 1 on last week). Was hoping for a bit more really but will stick with it.

Half fast days - how do they work?

Hi i'm new to this diet and trying to read all i can - i see somebody mentions half fast days ? Does this mean you can do 2 of these in replacement of a whole fast day?

Not sure how it works but I would assume that half fasting means u eat more calories than the 500. Say maybe about a 1000. That's is how I interpreted it when I did a half fast. But I still did my other two fasts.

I'm on a VLCD (Eurodiet) and eventually lost 25.5lbs after 6 weeks. Stuck to the plan absolutely 100%. Thinking of switching to the 5/2 diet plan. What do others feel about this plan?

I am posting in here. Today is day 1 and I am fasting. Good luck and I hope we can all support one another as I am pretty clueless and have a sever lack of following any diet to the T.
