    Hi JTR

    Welcome to 5:2. What sort of ‘tools’ are you looking for?

    There are no ‘tools’ required for the 5:2 apart from the book for information, determination to succeed and a good dose of will-power.

    If it’s something to track your calories I’d suggest http://www.myfitnesspal.com – it’s free and it will calculate your daily calorie needs according to your height/current weight/age/lifestyle. It’s worth having a look.

    You’ll find these forums really helpful for support – we’re all going the same way – and if you have questions.

    Good luck

    Stef.

    Hi JTR,

    Welcome to the forum! Not sure what you mean with tools? Did you get the book?

    As you probably know the 5:2 way off life means eating normal for five days and less than 500 cal for the other two. (600 for men). Those two fast days should not be consecutive days.

    A lot of people do therefore Monday and Thursday. I sometimes do 4:3 and I also try to follow the 16:8 rule whenever I can. This means trying to not eat for 16 hours and consuming all your food with in a window of eight hours. This gives your body time to repair itself.

    Otherwise as already suggested, I got an app to count calories as it is very easy to under estimate the calorie intake.

    Good luck with it!
    Stef.

    I hope the plan does what you want, especially for that cholesterol of yours! 🙂

    Did the above posts give you the info you wanted? Or do you need more?
