Anyone done/doing it?
Any advice, info or recommendations etc etc
Thinking of trying it out as I am uncomfortable about my weight and body.
I'm 125kg large built guy although well built rugby player, would love to shift a few stone by September. I have tried many diets in the past and failed after a few weeks. I have read that this one is not such a chore, as the 'fast' only lasts for 24 hrs at a time which is more manageable than prolonged food restriction.
If anyone is currently on it and has any tips then please drop me some advice.
Thank you  |

"Faddy.
Stop doing 'diets' as you say. Eat less crap, move more. It really is that simple.  "
Have done the eating less crap and lost about 1 1/2 stone and now it's time for the gym sessions |

Hi I did it last year for my wedding but in reverse - did if 5/2 lol. Are low carb on the 2 days and used Cambridge diet products the other days.
I did lose stacks of weight quite quickly but it's not really sustainable unless you have stacks of discipline. I'm 2.5 stone up since my wedding day - size 16 instead of a 12 - boo!
Have just started slimming world last week and going to the gym / swimming 5 times a week now so here's hoping to be back to 12 by Xmas ! |

I have the discipline as I've been overweight for to long, hope you have luck with the diet and swimming is the best exercise you can do. |

Ive just started it. I don't think it's a "fad" diet anymore than anything else you may try. It's been around years, but only recently become popular.
I think it's quite sustainable to stick to the 500 cals twice a week. It makes you more aware of what you are eating, which can only be a good thing in my opinion.
Good luck to you!  |

Some great advice thanks all
I do find that even if I eat healthy all week and then have a blow out on the weekend I more often than not stay the same or in some cases gain weight.
I have struggled with my weight all of my life. Although very active. I just can't seem to shift my extra lumps and bumps.
This 5:2 job is hopefully going to be the game changer for me.
I will keep you posted of my progress.
1st fast day today!
Weight....124.9 kgs
Cheers all |
