5:2 diet

I’ve been overweight for 18 years and now retired I’ve decided to be more healthy if I can. I’ve tried nearly every diet going and none have kept the weight off for long so I’m going to give this a go. Fingers crossed.

Good intro

A nice quick intro if you’re considering the 5:2 diet.
Also had some good tips on making it through the fasting days.
I reckon we’ll give the diet a try as it seems easier to maintain than others out there.

I have been having a real hard time loosing weight. So I decided to try something different. This book lays out what seams like a simple program to follow. This author recommends you have your two meals at least 6-8 hours apart. She also says to split your total calories for the day into two. I find 250 is too many calories in the morning, especially if I am trying to space the meals far enough apart. So I wonder if I can split it more like 150/350. I think I will experiment with that plan. The partial fast days are not too bad, because you can tell yourself, you may eat what you want the next day. She is right about being easier to do your partial fast days when you are busy. I found it difficult if I was home all day. The kitchen called to me. But on the busy days you forget about food.

I have been please with the results so far. I have lost 12 pounds in 19 days.

Good for beginners

I have heard lots about the 5:2 diet or fast, but never really understood how it would work.
This book is packed with information for beginners like me in easy to understand language . It also has good recipes that appeal to me and would happily make.
It also has tips to help you succeed which is usually my downfall when dieting. Can't wait to get started with this one as there are days where I don't feel like eating as it is, do may as well make it work the other days.

I really don't know how legitimate this diet book is, but I did read an article in the Washington Post about intermittent fasting and the benefits for staving off disease and promoting longevity. The idea seems doable. I'll try it for a month or two, see what happens.
