The 5:2 Fast Diet
I get through a lot of sugar free chewing gum on fast days (sometimes there is a not very nice taste in your mouth when fasting).
I didn't end up fasting yesterday because I ended up going out for lunch. But the nice thing about the diet is if you fail one day you just fast another day instead. I was 8 stone 13 this morning, so under my goal of 57kgs after 8 weeks on the diet, waist 65cms (25 inches). Definitely just maintenance from now on.

First fasting day for me too today, had a very good cream of tomato soup from this site for lunch (113 cals), doing ok so far.......have been having milk in coffee though and still have about 300 cals to go yet, so it'll be grilled chicken and huge salad with a good dressing I think.....
Are you doing 2 consecutive days fasting Enid? I thought they were supposed to not be consecutive...

That's alright then, I'll let you off! OH has had sugar in his tea all day, toast butter and marmalade for breakfast, bread with his soup at lunchtime and is insisting on a baked potato tonight. Have some work ahead of me I think....
LV - I couldn't do 2 consecutive days either, struggled enough today but do need to plan a bit more I think.

I just don't think I could go all day perhaps cos I'm an old bird now! I like the veggie low cal meals and a day without coffee and no wine. I don't usually eat desserts so that's no hardship but I do like cheese. Knowing I can have some tomorrow is something to look forward to. I really need to lose quite a bit of weight so am calorie counting on non fast days too and having one glorious who gives a monkeys day each week when I eat and drink whatever I like.
30 calories in a plum for heaven's sake! I'm with you there Enid, I've got loads to lose too, gave up smoking 8 weeks ago which added another half a stone so I've got at least 2 stone to get rid of to start with.
