Hi, I am fasting today. I am actually enjoying a rest from food, drinking lots of herb (rooibos) tea and calorie-counted soy shakes I’ve created. I can do this!

Yes you can! I’m actually started the 5:2 diet for the second time as with three kids home during the school holidays I struggled. So it’s head down and but up for a second attempt. It’s just past lunch time here and I have feed my 3 year old (baked beans as I am not tempted by them at all) and had a small cup of tomato soup.
I googled rooibos tea and it sounds good so will be looking for it in the shops tomorrow. Is it mainly sold at health shops?
Keep going because tomorrow you can eat like you normally would!

sim, thanks for the tips.

Mermaid, I buy it at regular grocery stores, but also order it from amazon.com.

Something came up, and I had to break my fast when I posted on the 18th, but I’m fasting today. Here goes!

My first day today too! So far so good. Usually pick at food in the evening, so that will be my test.

Shona how did you do? Second time around for me having lost a stone then put it all back on and more. On my 2nd consecutive fast day today and am feeling great. I’m doing 3/4 in a row this week then alt weeks of 5:2 & 4:3
The very best of luck to you.

First week and second fast day today. First day at work went quickly, today at home – not so quickly. Will try and stick to working days next week.
Got a stone to lose but will measure myself as inches is just as good.
Good luck to all
