    That's the one I've got. Downloaded it onto my kindle as it was cheaper that way!

    Am already noticing I've eaten less the last two days as my fast day really woke me up to the fact that I'm eating a lot purely for the sake of it!

    I also used to get terrible stomach cramps, and bloating, I haven't since I Started this Diet last July!

    It also suggests that fasting 1 or 2 days every week, will extend your life...who knows how true this is, but for quite personal reasons this has kept me motivated. I don't think I could recommend this diet enough xx

    I make soups, veggie burgers (minus bread), grilled fish with vegetables, stir fry, bean chilli.

    BBC Good Food App is very good for healthy recipes!!

    Because my OH doesn't fast, I often found that I would use pretty much all my 500 calories in one meal, so that we could eat the same thing. But what I do now is have a very light breakfast, fruit tea and a banana (100 calories) apple at midday, (25 calories) and then evening meal. To make it more filling for hubby, I just add potatoes, or pasta or some kind of carb. Xx

    On a fast day today. I make a big bowl of salad with lettuce tomatoes cucumber pickled onions and either boiled eggs or tuna. It's about 250 calories depending what I use. I weigh it all and leabe it in fridge if I pick all day still have calories for that night

    if you are doing the lower cal "fast" days eat stuff that will give you energy for longer. heavy on the non refined carbs so potatoes, rice, green veg like brocoli, spinach, or root veggies, fruit/tomatoes and avocados which have good fats to keep you fuller longer.

    I take my hat off to you I could never do the fast days

    Today was meant to be a fast day but I got invited out for lunch and it would have been rude to say no! Got a job interview tomorrow and there is no way I can do the hungry so will attempt to fast on Saturday as we won't be doing anything! They are hard I won't deny it! Not pleasant but knowing I can have what i want the next day is a huge motivator!

    good luck with the interview. if it's not working for you with the fasting give the fatlosscure a try. You can eat absolutely loads of food (just really restricted on refined carbs) but you are NEVER hungry - I promise!

    Ok so day one of fasting was a mixed bag., didn't help I just took a notion at lunchtime to begin! I had a bowl of mini max for breakfast which was 261 of my 500 calories in future will try something lower calorie to save some! I had two cups of tea with milk and canderel, and then didn't have any more all day when usually I have 5 or 6, so I think that was why I had the most horrendous headache in the evening., felt sick with it and only just managed to get a low fat chicken caesar salad down me then hit the bed. I didn't sleep well because of headache (was afraid to make myself more sick by taking painkiller on more or less empty stomach) but took some paracetamol at 1am and slept fine then.. Headache gone by morning and voila I have lost a pound since yesterday!! Was going to go for a swim last night but hubby says not a good idea although book says it's good to exercise on an empty stomach as it burns fat rather than what you just ate. Might switch to fast days on Friday my day off so I can exercise in the morning rather than a whole day of fasting

    All in all wasn't too bad I didn't feel extraordinarily hungry except before I had dinner , which I had to go and buy and cook so left too long I think,. Didn't have trouble sleeping so it was more or less the headache not the hunger pangs which bothered me.. Hopefully that was caffeine and choosing the wrong food rather than lack of food cos I can't cope with it if that continues! I drank loads so wasn't that!

    How's everyone getting on?

    I had 300 calories yesterday. Not on purpose aimed for 500 made up a large bowl salad and picked all day on it drinks loads water and herbal tea. Then had a meeting g for childminders last night and I won the prize for best answer lol which was sweets so politely refused them and the buns and biscuits and tea on offer. Had a herbal tea I stead. Came home knowing I had 200 calories left to eat didn't feel hungry so didn't bother eating

    So I am not sure how this 5:2 diet is meant to work if you can eat what you want other days lol!! I managed to put back on the pound I lost at the weekend.. But it was a total excess
    One as we were away and attended a party so a lot of drink was had! I suppose I had only done one day fast and usually would do two..
    Second day fasting today, decided not to do Monday as I was tired after late night, also I would often swim Monday and Thursday and I know that they say you can exercise as normal but I wouldn't have energy that time of night after all fasting! Gonna try Tuesday cos it's a busy day for me and hope it will fly by and Friday as I am usually off so can swim first thing

    How's everyone this week?

    I lost 3lbs since last weds (my weigh day)

    Eating habits haven't changed, but I haven't had any alcohol, must make a much bigger difference than I thought! (I have maybe a bottle of wine spread over Friday and Saturday) x
