  • Hey everyone! I am Lily from the united states and just decided that I want to try this lifestyle about ten minutes ago haha! I am nervous because I have a huge appetite and an addiction to junk food, but hopefully I can say no..I needed help with the timing though…so for example, my last meal was last night at 11 pm….so do I eat the 500 calories until 11 pm tonight as my fast day? And then once 11 pm hits, can I eat whatever I want?

    No, you can’t eat any more than 500 calories until tomorrow and then you need to keep within your TDEE. If you haven’t calculated that yet click on how it works at the top of the page.

    Hi Lily and welcome:

    You have much to learn about 5:2. Here are the basics, plus: https://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/the-basics-for-newbies-your-questions-answered/

    Good Luck!

    Clean out your pantry and get rid of the junk food. Plan out some meals heavy on protein for fast days and shop for the foods you will use.

    Oh so 500 calories until 11 am tomorrow? I didn’t realize the fast was 36 hours and not 24…hahah stupid me
