Good job, you two! And once you lose the weight, consider the 5:2 to be a way of life.

Thanks, @fasting_me 🙂 Definitely.

Oh, that’s good @amy! And good idea – I work from home so I have to try and keep myself busy while not getting tempted to go look in the fridge when I’m bored – or “hungry”, as my stomach tries to convince me. But I do think it’s wiser to do them on week days, nevertheless!
I had lunch and dinner on my first fast day on Monday, but only a dinner on my FD yesterday, which I tried to push back as much as possible – ended up eating at around 9pm, with no stress and no scarfing down the food! It was quite a surprise!

I’m planning a third fast day on Sunday, just to kick things up a notch. May increase the calories to 800, but not sure yet. 🙂

My biggest problem is the NFDs right now… I feel like I am hungry all the time. I hope it’ll eventually die down.

How much do you want to shift? x

Oh, understandable! Actually, I’ve also put on 2 stone from medication, over the past 6 months. It’s so frustrating…
I want to shift 6 stone, at least. Then I’ll get back to the weight I was at in 2014, when I’d just done 5:2 and lost 2 stone. 🙂
And you’re right about the water! When is your next fast day? x

Good job on the weight loss and sticking to the program.

To keep from feeling hungry on Slow Days, drink water [as Amyb says] and eat foods that will keep you feeling full: tree nuts, lean protein, and cut down on the carbs a bit. You will find as time goes on that less food is all you need, since your appetite will decrease. That said, every once in a while I get really hungry on a Slow Day, or have a craving for snack food. So, yeah. It happens. And then there is a Fast Day to set it to rights.

Keep on Fasting!
