Hey y’all. I am super brand new to this. Just ordered the book. Been hearing about 5:2 for ages, have a great friend who has had amazing success and now I’m in a place to want to do something more for my health.

I’m a 42 year old American chick living in Scotland, certified personal trainer, focusing on women’s fitness. Just been diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst and am awaiting surgery (bloods are clear, nothing sinister) but I want to do everything I can to be as healthy as I can be and I’m hoping 5:2 is going to help get me there. I am about 20lbs heavier than I would like to be, I don’t feel fantastic, low energy levels and a lot of it can be attributed to the cyst. But, I know I have lots of room to improve my nutrition and I’m ready to give this my best shot. Drkensdebx
