Hi Lydia
I have done 3 days water fasting – not consecutive days. The first 2 days I was surprised how easy it was. The third time I did it I found it quite difficult. Don’t know why. Anyway I have given up on it for now and I have just finished 3 consecutive days on the Indian GM vegetarian diet. You can lose 5 kilos or more in 7 days on that. I have done the diet 3 times now and now only do days 1 to 3. This time I lost 2 kilos in 3 days – honestly. Here is the diet:

I use it to kick start the 5:2 whenever I reach a plateau. My BMI is 24, so I could go for maintenance now but I want to have a BMI of 22. With the Indian diet you can eat as much and as often as you like, as long as you only eat the things allowed each day. I love fruit and vegetables, so it’s easy.
Sorry I can’t be your water fasting buddy. I don’t think I could cope. But good luck to you. If the water fast is too hard, you could always do the Indian diet and get the same result in the same time.
Good luck.
