Hello everyone!

I have started 5:2 Fasting Diet 2 months ago. I was doing Monday and Thursday as my fast days to star with. After few weeks I’ve realised that I cannot concentrate on my work load in the office (auditor for the bank, lots of reading on the pc and loads of meeting to conduct daily). I swap for fasting days Saturday and Sunday, but this is not working out now, since lots of familly gatherings and alcohol involved over the weekend. So I have practicaly at the stand still pont!Have not done any fasting in last two weeks!
Not sure what to do? I do wanna carry on, since I’ve lost a stone in two months! But need food while working, and 500kcal simply is not enough!
Please send some help.

Cheers, Angelika

Hi Angelika

I’ve only been on 5:2 for a couple of weeks and still find fast days quite hard.

Could you do a Friday and have all your calories at lunch, or 100 breakfast and 400 lunch. That way, if you don’t feel great at least you’ve only got a few hours of Friday afternoon to get through?

Also experiment with which meals fill you up the most. I find beef stew really good, whereas salmon still leaves me hungry. Make sure you get plenty of protein for your calories as that’s what fills you up.

Hope that helps.

Anna
