I’m just starting out and want to lose 3-5 Kg. That’s about 7-11 lbs I think. Can anyone, by way of encouragement, tell me how long it will take if I stick religiously to the approach? Thanks!

Hi Moet and welcome:

The average weight loss on 5:2 is about a pound a week. You will lose a little more at the start, but it is water weight. If you do not view 5:2 as a way of eating, but only as a diet to be abandoned when you reach your goal, the water weight will quickly return, as will the pounds you lost.

Thanks for that. Yes I think it sounds like a sensible way to eat long term. I’ve been looking up recipes and they sound great.

Another question. Do the two 500 cal days have to be consecutive or just any two days in the week?

Hi Moet:

Any two days are fine. This thread will answer most of your questions: https://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/the-basics-for-newbies-your-questions-answered/

Good Luck!
