Well so far so good,i have had 2 cups of coffee with 100mls of skimmed milk i even measured it out:-) i had an apple and i am going to have an asda chicken noodle cup of soup now.my cals equate to 128 so far.

ive not started mine yet ,need plan wot days im fasting on ,can any1 tell does it have be certain 2 days i need to fast ? i never saw programe,im doing 5/2 and wot day do i weight myself on?

I'm getting myself confused.

Is this right?

You eat normally (within reason) one day then restrict your calories on another day?

How many days do you eat normally before you have a restrictive day? (i've seen every other day but how are you doing it?)

On your restrictive day how many calories are you allowed to have?

Amberspy, i would weigh yourself the morning after your last fast day. I would swap the fast days around so your body doesn't get too used to it.

Rasmus, there are different ways of doing the plan, one way is to eat normally for 5 days then fast for 2. The other way is to eat normally every other day and fast every other day so one week you fast for 3 days and the next for 4 and so on...
On your reduced calorie day the ideal calorie intake is between 400-500 calories.

Feeling hungry now! Need to drink more!

Hi Everyone, I am Dawn . I have lost 3 stone this year from eating better and going to the gym 4 times a week. I really fancy trying this diet and seeing how it goes. I go on holiday next week so I will be starting this on my return. I think I will buy the book today as that will be a great read for the plane. I hope everyone has great results. Oh and I have more than a few stone still to lose. Hopefully we can all help each other.

Heylo - thought I would join in too as I've been doing this for a couple of weeks.

About 18 months ago I was just over 12 stone and I lost just short of 2 stone in the run up to my wedding last month - by running and tracking on myfitnesspal.

On my wedding day I was 10 stone 1, which was the lightest I'd been since university. Since then, I've put about 8 pounds on in 4 weeks!

I'm trying to be realistic so I'm hoping to lose about 4-5 pounds before I go on honeymoon in 3 weeks time. Then I might have to pause whilst i'm in Disney but will be back on track when I return!

Good luck everyone

Hello Ladies,

After doing most diets, im going to give this a go. I weighed 13 st yesterday and counting that as my food day, today is a fasting day due to not working.
Would eating/fasting on this rota be ok ?
Monday Eating , work day
Tues Fasting, rest day
Weds Eating, work day
Thurs Eating, work day
Friday Fasting, rest day,
Saturday Eating, rest day ,
Sunday Fasting, rest day.
I would like to lose 3 stone if not a tad more.
I think I will struggle to only eat 400 so aiming for 500 on my days fasting.

Good luck

Welcome everyone!
Icequeen, yes i think that sounds realistic. It's a good idea not to have fast days together so you're doing the right thing

i'm on a down day today and relly determined to stick to it today after going slightly over on the last fast day lol

so far i've been really good. been to town which usually means breakfast in the cafe but stayed away and bought a pot of pineapple cos i was hungry lol

having ham salad for dinner later but am hungry right now. just bought some of the batchelor cup a soups from tesco but they had a 'diet' version with only 50 cals per cup so i bought them instead

just trying to decide if i should have a dry piece of bread with it lol

How healthily are you all eating on non fast days?
