Hi Heidi,I started 3 weeks ago after seeing my sister lose over a stone in 3 months doing the 5:2! I lost 3lbs in the first 2 weeks (I’m getting weighed every fortnight -) and am feeling great. It is tough at first, but now I’m in my third week its becoming more natural to fast and I definately feel much better. Good luck with it 🙂 !

Good luck, I am sure it gets easier the more you do it. I am in my third week and 7th fasting day, eating lots of salad. Porridge in the morning as it keeps me full all day.

I’m new as well, bought and read the book and decided to start today since I had oatmeal and blueberries for breakfast. I lost 60 lb 2 years ago doing something similar (1000 cal/day then normally on the weekend), recently my weight is sneaking up (maybe weekends got longer!) lol I decided this will be easier to follow. Haven’t browsed all the forums, but would like to know if sugar substitute (Equal etc.) is allowed and the feeling about diet soda. I don’t drink coffee but get my much needed caffeine from Diet Coke. Would appreciate any comments.
