happy reversal & nonfastdays & fastdays & 5/2 & 4/3 & 6/1 & adf or 4/2/1 or 3/3/1 or 5/1/1 or adf w/1 & the fdl (fastday lifestyle) 😀

Hey Clare, welcome! After a few fast days the hunger will go down, don’t worry about that. Just have to push through those first few times!

I’m sure you’ll do fine!

Hi Clare
Welcome to you and your husband 🙂
Over time you will probably find the hunger easier to deal with, as Nika says, though there can be days that are harder than others, depending on what else is happening in your life! But you soon learn how to deal with these – lots of herbal/fruit/flavoured tea helps me, and a coffee or two – and the fact that you are getting results and want that to continue. Almost everyone does start to show results after a few weeks, or much sooner if you are lucky (others have advised newbies to give this way of eating at least 6 weeks before expecting results).
One of the many beauties about 5:2 (if you don’t have consecutive fast days) is that it is only ever a day until you can have what you crave on a fast day – with the added benefit that often when you get to the next day, you decide you really don’t want it after all.
I, like many others, have found that over time we do start to choose healthier foods more often, and reduce the less healthy foods. But for many there is still room for the less healthy foods on non-fast days if that is what you want.
This is also the first forum I have joined, which I didn’t do until I was many months into 5:2. It has helped me stay focused and given me motivation to get back on track when I lapsed. So make the most of the forum – seek help as you need, share stories and give help as you feel you can.
Good luck with it all 😀
