I fasted from Nov. 1st – Dec. 8th 2014. In these 5 weeks I lost around 5 kilos and I wasn’t hungry at all on fast days. My mind kind of accepted that I would ‘eat again tomorrow’ instead and that was ok.
On non-fast days I ate A LOT, too much. And not always healthy food. Still dropped in weight.

I gained what I had lost over Christmas but is now back on the 5:2 diet. I consider this diet to be superb to other diets since I would feel very restricted if I would have to diet every day.

Now, I have been 5:2’ing for five weeks, and absolutely nothing has happened. My body is stalling and I feel super super hungry on fast days.
On non-fast days I enjoy good food, but I don’t feel any need to overeat like last time around and I even eat more healthy. Not losing ANY weight.

I don’t get it, I really don’t.
I started tracking my calories very carefully on fast days, to make sure I get exactly 500. But I’m so hungry all day long and I’m having a tough time due to hunger and not seeing any results.

Any advice? Should I just stick it out?
Why is nothing happening when I’m doing a better job now?

Thanks!

I haven’t taken my measurements, I can just tell from the scale and my clothes that nothing is happening compared to last time. Hmm. I will take my measurements tomorrow and keep track from then on!

I tend to get obsessive with restrictions resulting in over eating, so I’m trying to be as natural as possible with this diet, and I would say it’s going pretty well. but maybe I should try a food log for just one week.
