I have just completed my first week on the 5;2 diet and have lost 2.5lbs, im so happy! Found the first fast day pretty hard and went to bed hungry in hope that this would work. My second fast day, on the Thursday was a little easier and i made sure i stayed really busy all day. For the rest of the non fast days i have eaten 3 normal meals staying as sensible as i could. I have taken a 3 mile brisk walk half way through my week and hey presto a good weight loss at the end. I feel have a sense of freedom at last and for the first time in a long time im not thinking of food the whole time. I’m really looking forward to the week ahead.
