Are you over eating by more than 125% on non-fast days perhaps? Maybe, it’s a little early to see the results? For example, if you have a lot to lose maybe 2 lb won’t be so noticeable however you say you are less bloated so I think that is a good start! Well done for getting to your fourth fast day. Starting this is an achievement in itself – keep going, you are doing fab.

You can check if you are eating too much on your non fast days using this calculator http://thefastdiet.co.uk/how-many-calories-on-a-non-fast-day/

It does mean you’ll have to do a bit of calorie counting to see if it’s just food related.

I’ve seen some posts from others who have not lost weight but have seen their measurements reduced.

I know it’s really off putting when you don’t lose weight when following a plan. Give it a few weeks and see if it starts to make any difference. I’ve done other plans where my initial loss has been greater than on this plan but I’ve always put the weight back on.

Don’t be disheartened and good luck on your next weigh in.

I used to get very bloated. Since new year I have started listening to what my body was streaming out and telling me! I gave myself smaller portions for my evening meal, which helped a lot. I also don’t eat the foods as much that give me problems such as heartburn. I hardly ever suffer with either now! Happy me! And over 2 stone lighter! Only been doing the 5:2 thing 2 weeks, lost 2lbs and feel great! Good luck!
