When I first started the 5:2 diet, I was used to calorie counting, so I stuck to 500 on a fast day and about 1200 on a non-fast day. But the book seemed to suggest that this was unnecessary and that I would naturally not want to overeat on a non-fast day. So I stopped counting calories. But I now find I am binge eating on the non-fast days.
Has anyone else had this experience? I think I might have to go back to calorie counting on the non-fast days as I’m gaining weight again.
I was hoping that 5:2 would be a good way to get away from calorie counting.
Cheers
