Good luck Amy

What’s happening July 11th? 😉 I think I can take a guess but don’t want to presume!

As for advice, hmmm… I’ve only been on this diet for 3 days, but so far, my advice is spread the calories through the day, with some protein at breakfast as it helps you feel fuller for longer. Don’t worry about snacking on non-fast days, but I already have less desire to snack; for a lot of people, being on 5:2 makes them more ‘mindful’ of what they eat, as you’re aware that overeating on feed days can undo the good work of the fast days. Try and practice being aware of how you feel, and if you want a snack then go for it, but there’s no need to eat it if you’re not hungry. The discipline you exercise on fast days can be extended to normal eating on feed days, improving your relationship with food overall.

Keep us updated with your progress!

hi amy and welcome,
“anyones advice, stories, pictures would be so helpful.”
i started out at a size 24 top and 20 waist, im now 16 top and 14 waist, this way of life has been amazing, it took me about 6 weeks to really get the hang of it, i had headaches to begin with but found by drinking plenty during the day helped a lot, what always helped me was telling myself, “ok i cant have that today but if i want i can have it tomorrow” anyone can do it for just one day.
take measurments from all over, after my first 1 1/2 stone i stopped losing, but the inches started to fall off, i dropped 3 dress sizes, so dont lose heart when the scales stick, other things are going on with the body.
look at my post in before and after,”a year of success” ive posted pictures, and do need to update them as im slimmer than that now.
i do hope that has been of some help to you and wish you all the best on your journey, keep us posted xx

if you exercise during fasting you will burn more fat, it can be hard but many here do exercise on a fast day. x
