Hi. I’m Caz from Australia. I have just begun the 5:2 diet after spending the last 2 months on a meal replacement diet where while I had lost 7 kg but I was getting major carbohydrate cravings. The idea of 5:2 appeals to me as I am a mum of 4 kids and being austere with eating all the time was pretty boring and hard watching them enjoy food. Yesterday I did my first fast day. I am trying to use up left over meal replacements to make up the 500 cals but they left me feeling unsatisfied. I might try using them occasionally till they are all gone. Fast day again tomorrow which I’m strangely looking forward too!
