There seem to be thousands of different active topics but I can’t find one specifically aimed at simply recording how long people have managed to keep following the Fast Diet regime and how successful, or otherwise, it has proven for them.
There was a negative article by Jonathan Leake in the Sunday Times on 31/12/2017 where a quote was included stating “…there is no evidence to show it (i.e. intermittent dieting) helps achieve weight loss lasting years or even months”.
Well, if anyone is interested I have just over 5 years of data to show that in at least one case there is precisely that evidence. From memory the Horizon programme that first discussed 5:2 was in Summer 2012, just after the London Olympics. I began my Fast Diet regime about 6 months later, on Sunday 3rd February 2013, after my wife was also convinced it was something we should try. I’ve been doing it ever since.
I don’t especially want this topic’s thread to replicate the many others from people describing what’s worked for them, or what their concerns are, or what they ate yesterday etc. I’m simply interested in knowing how many other people have managed to keep doing this for at least 5 years and what their long term results are.
The next thread will be my basic results and no more. It is likely it will be my last post until another year has passed. In 5 years I might create another topic called “10 Years or more on a Fast Diet regime?” along exactly the same lines.
