I’ve been on the 5:2 for six months now. After a bit of juggling the weight loss has been good and we have managed to keep up the recipes. I have become more flexible with food and mix and match the different recipes from the book. Occasionally we may have the commercially prepared frozen lean meals, the calorie count is about right. I have checked out other meals on the net and want to try some of these too.

The concept of hormesis I find very interesting. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Sounds dramatic but in
small ways I have found this belief has become part
of my life not just with fasting. Generally I now make more of an effort with activities, gym classes, getting along with people, I suppose just trying a bit harder with life in general. I’ve even taken up some online study. All rather exciting.

Thanks for that, I’m Australian, but will have a local search and be mindful of the averaging of calorie content.
Onward and upward – Cheers
