    My Story: on June 23rd I started doing research on diets cause the scales tipped at 155 and I was shocked. I started at that time limiting my calories to 1200 a day and walking 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes. Imagine my shock when I got on the scales on July 9th and it said 160! I cried. I was like what …….. this ain’t working so I found this diet and thought no way can I do this bc I I like food but I kept to eating 1200 healthy calories and fasted on the 10th the 16th and the 21st. Because I thought it would be hard to do it twice a week. Today I got on the same scales and it said 152, and I lost an inch from my hips waist and 2 inches of my thighs, I was happy! So with that said starting now I am going to do twice a week because I have evidence this works, starting at Once a week let me know when my hunger pains started so it helped me plan when I should have my meals without being cranky and wanting to go nuts on people! This really does work and I can’t wait to lose the remaining 20pds for my goal.

    Here are tips I located on line that has helped me

    There are several steps you can take to help prepare you for a fast. Before you start consider any fasting, you certainly may want to have a close look at your eating habits. It makes little sense to fast, when before and after the period of fasting you still continue with poor eating habits. Proper food from the point of view of pure, fresh and high content of Prana contained in the food you eat is what you want to learn to eat day after day.Properly preparing your body for a fast not only makes the fast itself easier, but also improves the results.

    1. Educate yourself as much as you can about the fasting technique you are going to use.

    2. Write down all the instructions for your fast and organize a plan and schedule on paper before you begin. This is important because once the fast begins, you might try to convince yourself to quit. The schedule can then act as a contract you have made with the fast that you must keep. Remind yourself why you are doing the fast and remember that it is important.

    3. Taper off your addictions in the days prior to your fast. Cut down on caffeine, salt, sugar, cooked food and meats, etc. If you cut them off all of a sudden, expect to experience headaches, stomachaches and a general feeling of discomfort.

    4. Begin eating smaller meals prior to your fast. Resist the temptation to eat a big “last supper” the night before the fast. Cutting down your meals a few days before signals your mind, stomach, and appetite for the fast.

    5. Gather everything you need for your fast before you begin.

    6. Eating a plant based diet …. can support you in creating harmony and health. Prefer to eat things that are fresh rather than cooked food, i.e. salads and fruits. Fruits of any kind, i.e. fruits, berries, nuts, natural cereal … are of highest quality in their vibration. Select organic fruits and vegetables that have been grown in natural sunlight and that have completel ripened in the Sun.

    7. Drink the highest quality that you can find. Water is of highly purifying quality. The minimum for purification of your body should be 1 – 1.5 liter per day on cool days and up to 2 – 3 liters.

    8. Use mild herbal teas. One or two cups of the right herbal tea may support the purification and best possible function of your body.

    9. Drink all the fresh fruit and vegetable juices you like especially the dark greens.

    9. Eliminate dairy products, eggs refined flour prdoducts and sweets.

    10. Use only olive and coconut for cooking. Use no more than 2 tablespoons of oil per day. D not use butter or margarine of any kind.

    11. Do not use salt. Use spices and tamari in small amounts.

    12. Do not use any caffeine, alcohol, stimulants or recreational drugs.

    13. Do not eat any fried foods.

    14. If at all possible consume a warm cup of fresh lemon water with ginger tea. Also a “green drink’ each day.

    Interesting, Arobin, but drinking juiced fruit is never a good idea. You need the fibre from the fruit and you will consume much too much fructose. Eat whole fruit always. PVE

    I started this diet (after putting it off for months) and am just at the start of week 4 and have lost 5 lbs so far. I think the counting of calories effort was putting me off and what to have for 500cals. I then hit on the idea of buying off the shelf reduced calorie meals which all come in at around 350cals. These are tasty and I can add vegetables or salad to them and even a little dressing if I am careful plus a low calorie dessert. I manage to have this quite nice vening meal by eating a late breakfast of a peach 60cals and drinking water of tea without milk the rest of the day.

    I try to keep busy and take my mind off food and have found it surprisingly easy. Knowing you can eat normally the next day makes it so much easier to do. My target is 2 stone (28lbs) reduction.

    Once I get down to the target weight I will do 1 fasting day per week to maintain it.

    Also like the health benefits too.

    I started the fast diet on April 17. I am now finishing the 16th week. I added some exercise at least 2 times a week (biking) and whenever possible another fast day. 17 April/ May was mostly 5:2, June was entirely 4:3 July was mostly 5:2.
    I weight myself after a fast day in the morning. my first measurement was after the second fast day in April.
    April 21: 199 pounds
    July 30: 177 pounds
    22 pounds in 15 weeks : 1.46 pounds per week average.
    Goal: 165 to 160 pounds ( I am getting closer)
    It works … but you have to be persistent and add exercise and maybe another day if you have a tendency to not eat “normally” sometimes.
    I hope it helps other folks trying this.

    I don’t have any set day for weighing….have been doing the 5:2 dit for 6 weeks and now have 9 lbs off. I haven’t been doing any organised exercise as such but do heaps of housework everyday and have been walking lot. Now my old ankle injury has flared up, I will either go for a cycle or go to the gym and do the interval training on the Concept 2 owing machine and bike. That’s a great idea Carole….I’m going to buy a few ww meals for those emergencies when I’m not organised + could easily be tempted!

    I have just been reading all these comments and they have really spured me on. It is my first fast day today and am starting to struggle but with all the great successes you guys are having it is keeping me going. Wish me luck 🙂
