Hi, started the 5:2 diet after a recommendation from a neighbour who is also a GP.
Have purchased the book and am reading my way through it and it makes interesting reading.
I’ve completed my 2nd fast and so far so good, considering I’m a ‘stay at home Mom’ so still have to prepare meals for the family during the day while not eating myself. I’m sure there are plenty who can relate to that too.
I’ve done every diet out there with short term success, but never could keep up long term, as I always obsessed about the foods I couldn’t have to the point of being miserable.
I hope, that as I can more or less eat normally for 5 days,I won’t fixate on food and therefore will just ‘choose’ to eat well rather than be forced to.
Looking forward to feeling & looking healthier 🙂
