Hi all,

I’m on my second day of 5.2, yesterday was a fast day and today I am feeling exceptionally hungry!
Does anyone have any tips of how to overcome this?

I too feel hungry the day after,which i think is natural having eaten a lot less than usual the day before..i’ve only been trying this ‘diet’for three weeks, i haven’t seen any difference yet to weight/ waist size bit disappointed!

Although hungry when I go to bed on my fasting day, I don’t wake up hungry the following day. But find if I have a different sort of breakfast e.g apple and cottage cheese or banana and cold custard, it boosts my sugar level and I feel great. Good luck

My suggestion- Green Tea! Green Tea has worked wonders for me in helping to overcome hunger on both fast and non-fast days. If I feel a pang come on I just down a quick cup and it’s gone within 10 minutes. Hope this helps!

I’m not sure about green tea- had one yesterday and it made me hungrier!!
Unfortunately my current ‘zero cal’ options are pepsi max and coffee…which I don’t really want to get into the habit of having frequently :/

I am on day six fast day I find that after my fast day if I leave off having breakfast I don’t get the hunger pangs. Then it’s a good lunch and dinner, I also find I don’t need to eat vast amounts to make me feel full.

I find I am also very hungry the next day, however I find that by time I’ve had a good healthy breakfast I’m back to normal. OK breakfast is bigger than I would have normally. But works for me.

I find the day after my fast day i am not that hungry. I assumed that due to my stomach shrinking the day before due to less calories and food intake, that i couldn’t ‘stomach’ too much food the next day either.
I am never hungry anymore on fast days or non fast days. I guess this is really why this works. I always say its like a gastric band without the surgery.
