This may help those that are trying this to lose weight and not to feel discouraged you will see results if you are persistent and have patience.
I started the fast diet on April 17 2014. 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. 16th and 17th weeks were 4:3.
I usually weight myself after a fast day in the morning.
Results:
April 21: 199 pounds
August 14: 172 pounds
27 pounds in 17 weeks : 1.58 pounds per week average.
Goal: 160 to 165 pounds
Adding exercise and another fasting day when possible is better if you have a tendency to not eat “normally” sometimes. (eat normally though when non fasting).

Hi loulob that happened to me too I put on 2 to 1 pounds some weeks and lost 3 in others. The fluctuations are normal, keep pushing. I try to eat normally on my non fast days, my diet is mainly protein red meat chicken and veggies , Greek yogurt and nuts . No sugars very little carbohydrates , some fruits strawberries and oranges. I occasionally had pasta and cheese. I love cheese so plain Greek yoghurt with nuts helped me stopped the cravings for cheese and raw almonds(be careful on the amount) was a great bread replacement. Not counting calories…. but adding exercise and a 3rd day sometimes.

Very inspiring. Thank you. I’ve found I have trouble doing a true FULL day of fasting (36 hours) so I’m sticking with 24 hours and adding a third day. Best part? I’m not nearly as hungry on my feast days as I used to be before starting this. How weird is that? It’s like I’m used to a little hunger and I know I’m not dying.
