Well done Zina, good luck. I’ve been doing this fast diet now for something like six weeks, and I’ve lost 3 kilos (about six pounds) and reached a healthy BMI of 25 yesterday, so I’m extremely chuffed.Since the start of 2015 I’d been going to the gym, avoiding chocolate, doing MyFitnessPal and trying to get the weight down. I found I was toning up and feeling better, but the weight was only very gradually coming off, and it was 300g off and 200g on, very dispiriting. Until I started 5:2. And it’s been great. On fast days I have breakfast of a bowl of muesli, lunch is miso soup (I was amazed to find it in the Japanese section in the supermarket) and dinner is prawn stir-fry with loadsa veggies (no rice or noodles, amazing how you don’t actually miss them) or the huevos rancheros recipe from the fast diet book. Delicious and filling. Yes, you get a bit peckish in between, but you just have to distract yourself from that. I find having lots of weak coffee / herbal tea on the go, and a flask of tap water in my bag helps keep my tummy feel full. So keep going – it works. And it’s well worth it.
