I say whatever works for you is great! I haven't read up much on the 5:2 diet plan. I have days where I am really good about my eating then other days I tend to eat foods that I know aren't healthy for me. I am curious to see how this diet works.

I keep trying to send you a link about this science but I think this web site won't allow it. I'll try and figure out a way I can get you more info.

Diane - I have it. Go to dailymotion.com and do a search: BBC - Eat, Fast And Live Longer By limoslight. I guess limoslight is the username of the guy who posted it. It should pop up. It is almost an hour long but WOW - worth watching. You have to skip through the commercials but otherwise good quality video playback. All I can say is my life is so much better without obsessing every day about food and weight. I feel so much freedom and it is great. Let me know what you think. Maggie

It's great that you are getting those results but it's even better that you also care about eating healthy! heheh

Good for you!!! I'm doing a slightly modified 5:2 diet, too. You're doing it right -- and you have just become a role model for me! I've been afraid to fully trust the process. So now I'm starting to try to let go of counting calories every meal of every day. I'm too anxious anyway, and need to relax more. ;)

It looks like I have gained 1.3 pounds from my all-time low in the last two weeks, so maybe you can't go as nuts as I have been going and maintain or lose. I really need to start logging my non fast days to see how my weight is affected by different total calorie intake. I have been having so much fun eating it will feel more like actual dieting if I start journaling again - kind of a hassle but would be worth it to get better data. Would be nice to know what a person can get away with on the non-fast days, and how much to cut back to go back into weight loss. Last night I helped my son polish off a bag of Cheetos and over the weekend last weekend among other things I polished off a pie. These are not healthy choices!

Logging things definitely gives one control but I definitely agree with the hassle factor ;)
