I've been on the 5:2 lifestyle for 6 months now. I started at 305 lbs, I'm now 265, so 40 lbs in 6 months. It was a little tough at first, but now it's a piece of cake. I didn't call it a diet for a reason, it's now just my lifestyle. I still have quite a bit more to lose, but i'm so damn confident now that I can do it, it's not even a question anymore. I suggest watching the video in question, it's a great watch. Good luck to ya!
In 2 months, I lost 30 pounds. Over all, I lost 45 pounds... with out exercising... I was exercising 5 months, 5 t,times a week, and didn't lose a pound.... the day I started the Fast Diet was the day I stop exercising....
Wow! It really works, right? Congrats on your success!
What did you do the 5:2?
How are you going now
RIP 😢
Few tips for your Fast days:
1) Try not to have lots of little meals to make up your 500 (females) 600 (males) cals.
a) it's likely to make you more hungry
b) your body burns fat and goes into 'cellular repair (one of the best benefits of fasting)' after around 8+ hours, so it's best to have 2 decentish sized meals (ie 200 cal breakfast or lunch and 300 cal dinner), or even just 1 big meal, to optimize weight loss.
2) On Fast days makes sure you get some protein. It will fill you up. Get some carbs but don't make them your main source.
3) Drink lots of water - Often you're not actually hungry, you're just dehydrated (we get water from food).
4)Try not to drink lots of diet soft drinks as there's some research which suggests the artificial sweeteners can initiate sugar craving.
5) If you're feeling really hungry, give it 10-15 minutes before reaching for food. Hunger doesn't so much as build as it comes in waves.
6) If you must eat more, grab for some filling vegetables like Broccoli, eat it raw if you can.
7) Always know that tomorrow (or in X number of hours) you can have pretty much what you want. You aren't starving to death!
Don't do this if you're still growing (ie a teenager) or growing someone else (ie pregnant/breast feeding), you don't want to stunt growth. If you're overweight as a teenager, exercise and cut down on sugar (tho eat as much fruit as you want- the fibre in fruit protects you from the weight gain too much sugar creates) and look on the internet for how much sugar is actually in these supposed 'healthy' low fat foods. The answer is far too much
Also, if you're diabetic, I would suggest easing into it and/or speaking to your Dr first
Ive alway noticed that people who practice fasting have such glowing clear skin... including me ;)
Yes, I fasted for 3 days and my skin looked amazing after.
Kudos for the video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you ever tried - Dinanlinson Amazing Look Approach (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one off product for learning how to quickly lose weight without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate at last got excellent success with it.
I'm on this regime - it works and it's easy! On my five-days I eat normally and on my two-days I have one biscuit for breakfast, a fruit salad for lunch and for dinner a salad with a boiled egg and some tuna (in brine) or a slice of cold meat, black tea/coffee without sugar. Or if it's cold out - it's surprising what you can put in a slow cooker and stay under 300 calories per portion. The first couple of two-days are a little uncomfortable, but the body seems to adjust and it soon feels refreshing to fast moderately. It's not natural to have a constant food supply and natural is always best.
Just thought I'd share my experience: I started 12/1/17 its now 3/1/18 and I've lost 12 lbs. I started at 127 lbs though, so not over weight which does make it harder to shed but I like have a 6 pack now! Point being, it's also great way to turn your kinda-fit body into a fit AF body. I also feel like I opened a different part of my brain: I'm not scared of being hungry nor do I experience hunger the same. It's awesome and I'd recommend it for anyone.
I do the ADF(Alternate Day Fasting) I am losing an average 3lbs a week... this is awesome.. Yeah the first two weeks were miserable... I will post my own video in about a month or so.. But folks this Eat, Fast and Live Longer program is awesome and it really works.
Hi,
I started my 5 2 diet today!
I'm praying it works for me, I'm the heaviest I've ever been.
Your video motivated me 😁
How did it go?
I just want to thank you 🙏🏼 for this video. I’m 45 and like you gained 50 lbs during pregnancy and while my son is fully grown, I have struggled my entire life post-pregnancy to try and get back to my pre-pregnancy body (which like you is a size 4-6...I’m not very tall so at 5’4” that’s normal for me). Like you, I have been a size 10 for most of my 20s and 30s and despite so many (sooooo many) diets and times when I’ve exercised like a mad woman, NOTHING has worked 😞
.
You’ve given me so much hope tho bc your situation and even your body composition/size is identical to mine. And I too love wine! I started the 5:2 last week and came across this video as I’ve been doing research. 👌🏼❤️
.
Btw, speaking of tips & tricks for future readers... years ago I read “French woman don’t get fat” and they use fasting to “reset” their system when they gain a bit of weight. On fast days, the writer advises you to consume leek broth whenever you feel hungry. It has at most 15 cals and is very satisfying. So, if interested, boil 2 leek stalks in 2 liters (8 cups) of water. I add a 1/4 tsp salt. Once boiling, reduce heat & simmer for 20 min. This broth is VERY helpful during fasting days. 😁
I started on the 5:2 last week and so far i have dropped 4 pounds already. I am planning to weigh myself tomorrow morning and keep track of my progress each week. I also ordered the book and watched the documentary. Im excited because i have tried so many diets before and i do exercise and its been a while since i have seen the weight drop so i have hope and believe that this is the diet that will finally get me to my goal weight! I plan to also maintain this diet once i reached my goal! Thank you Sonja!
You are referring to Dr. Michael Mosley and he is a medical journalist with more than 25 years of experience. I felt he deserves a fair introduction. Thanks
Thank you for uploading this video, you are SO lovely and down to earth and I feel like I can relate to you! I am obsessed with food, I LIVE to eat. I feel like an addict! I've constantly struggled with the idea that I have to chose between my love of delicious food and being slim and slinky. Yesterday I had my first fasting day on the 5:2 diet and I am extremely surprised how easy it actually was, I don't think I've stayed under 500 calories in 5 years... sure I had cravings, and they were raging in the evening but I laughed at them and stayed strong. I'm dedicated to giving this my best shot and knowing that you only have to hold out till the morning makes ALL the difference. You get the benefits of feeling in control of yourself , instead of feeling weak willed all the time and feeling like you're punishing yourself and all the guilt...... I think psychologically this diet is so much healthier, more positive and will be easier to follow in the long run!
I am so happy for you! Your right, it is all psychological! Please let me know how your doing with this in the weeks to come, best of luck!!!
~Sonja
Hi Sonja!
Great video on the Fast Diet. Thanks for that. I am right now in my 2-week-fasting (zero eating, just drinking water) and after that I continue with the the Fast Diet, which I tried before and loved it.
I am from Austria and in my late 40's and I can confirm what you said about growing up in the 70's. No junk-food, just three meals a day and those were cooked fresh by my mum.
First of all...You're gorgeous!! Secondly, I ran across the documentary today and I am going to start the 5:2 tomorrow! My 44th birthday is coming up and I'm hoping to become the healthiest I have ever been in my life. Thanks for your testament to its awesomeness. Hope it works for me!
Can you update; just found this page and am interested in how the people said they just started this a few months are doing on it? Today is my first day; am STARVING, but hanging on until about 7 pm.
what a great communicator, down the line to the point. looking great also, well done.
If you are really over 40 girl you are doing something right! Your skin looks amazing, more like 30! I'm just looking into this diet. I appreciate your review and would love any updates!
Thanks so much, working on it! 46 in May, love my Botox, really helps!
Fasting is the best way to loose weight. I'm over 40 and every year we have to fast for 30 days in a row from sun rise to sun sets. I loose 10 pounds and my husband loses over 10. We also decided to fast Mondays and Thursdays to loose weight and religious purposes. You look great and thanks for sharing.
You are so down to earth and honest, love it
Thank you so much!
Funny you mentioned the sugar cravings going away...i have only been fasting for two weeks now and that is one of the first things i noticed. I fast 20-24 hours 3 days a week...its what works for me and I am trying to maximize my fat loss. The other thing about fasting is that its flexible and doesn't consume your every thought. Great video....please keep posting, there seems to be a shortage of clear thinkers on IF on youtube.
This woman is 42 ? She looks so good for her age ! This diet is a winner.
Amazing! You look amazing!
Love the science behind the 5:2 life style. Thanks for sharing, your experience.
My opinion here, but I think that this is going to be the most sustainable thing anyone can do, if you've never tried it and are curious. Three key factors: 1) do clean up your 5 eating days when you're not on the 'diet'. That really just means cooking your own food, getting rid of junk food. Get it out of the house. 2) You have two days a week when you diet. Keep in mind that they're not consecutive days and you're shooting 500 cals a day, a little more if you're aggressively exercising (I mean weights or spin classes, etc). 3) Eat protein on your diet days: eggs, tuna, That fills the belly and wards off hunger. I've just started and am nearing my first 10lbs gone. BTW, I feel like this is a good approach for maintaining your weight too. I'll try that when I get to my goal BF%.
Thanks for giving your insights on the Fast Diet. I think it's great that you mentioned the mental benefits as I believe they are one of the most important gifts this life style gives you, especially when it comes to making food choices on non fast days. I have been fasting for 6 weeks and I am constantly amazed at the results, physically, mentally and emotionally.
Hope your still doing well!
On Facebook I belong to Appetite Correctness a group run by Angela Redekop. Her story is amazing because she's lost 300+ pounds.
She fasts for like 19 hours and then for 5 hours she eats what she likes. At first I thought i can't fast that many hours then pig out for 5.
But in listening to your CZcams channel for the first time 6:25am 10/12/18 I could follow the 2 days of just 500 calories. I suffer from Anxieties with a non existent appetite and this feeling at its worst has lasted 4 months. Then missing alot.( i stay out of Fb ) I return to the World of the Living.
Insomnia sets in; ankles swell
and my Appetite returns. And up and down chaotic way of living.
I can't find her group on FB, has it changed names?
Thank you. I’ve been doing the carb cycling diet where I would eat only meat and protein strictly no carbs for an entire month and take a break about 6 months to do it again. I started right before the lockdowns in 2020 and did it for a little over 2 years. I was 5’10 and 208 pounds when I first started and now I’m down to 157 pounds and I am a 31 year old male. I stated to get kidney pain from the protein diet so I stopped but was afraid to gain all of the weight back. I found the 5:2 diet and thought it was very doable and easier then what I was doing before. I researched a lot of high density low calorie foods so I would feel full even though my limit was only 500 calories on the day of fast. I usually eat soups, boiled eggs since they keep me full for very little calories. Seems to work well and even though I eat a lot on other days I seem to get back to my weight and even lost some here and there! Also I noticed it’s much better to eat your bigger heavier meals in the morning than night.
I just can't believe it. it is so awesome. I advised this diet to my boyfriend. He started after watching Mosley's documentary 6 weeks ago, started and already lost 20 pounds. In six weeks!!! I mean... just wow. And he eats everything he pleases in those 5 days.
Pippi, Any updates? Is your boyfriend still on this? Are you on it? Finally decided myself to give this a try.
Superb, really well done. I'm a 45 old male from U.K. I am going to going to give this 5:2 diet a shot. Thanks for the video
I started the 5:2 this week and have lost a couple pounds already. I nixed the nightly bourbon fix also but I still think the diet is working on its own and your video confirms that with me. I've done the low carb and failed many times and felt same as you with the hate! You took the words right out of my mouth! Thank you for your honest eval and for sharing your thoughts!!
Hallo Sonja, da du erzählt hast das du aus Österreich kommst gehe ich jetzt einfach mal davon aus das du das lesen kannst :-D Vielen Dank für dieses Video. Ich habe nun auch mit dieser Ernährungsweise angefangen und es fällt mir viel leichter als erwartet.... Ich habe nach meinen beiden Töchtern zwar 30 Kilo abgenommen (es war die reinste Qual) aber die letzten paar Kilos purzeln nun dank deines Videos. Ich liebe deine ehrliche und sympathische Art, mach weiter so. Liebe Grüße aus lecker Deutschland :-)
Did you get a chance to click on the BBC special in the description box? It is sooo helpful!
You are an inspiration to me about doing this plan, I am also over 40 and have been hoping on and off diets for a few years now, and nothing seems to work. Thanks for the tips and tricks
***** I didn't catch the supplement, what is it? Thanks that would help!
Life After 40 Here is a link to this GREAT documentary on vimeo...vimeo.com/103656060
I got my free trial bottle from facebook.com/My-Lifestyle-1653272541612978/?pidid=7c1698af-6ab8-463e-b1f7-068226631fd8 I have lost 9 pounds since I have been taking it. I have not even had to exercise. If you take the pills you will lose weight. My weight loss story, The Fast Diet, 5:2 Diet
Life After 4
This is really amazing and
Your are amazing !
You know what is crazy.. Is that in islam it´s VERY good to fast on Mondays and thursdays because the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Deeds are shown (to Allaah) on Mondays and Thursdays, and I like my deeds to be shown when I am fasting.”
And as i am obsessed with diets, i often stoped myself from dieting because i thought i couldnt fast while dieting.
Anyway i can't wait to begin !
Thanks
Slmz please let me know if you lose weight. This diet seems too fantastic to be true. And jzklh for the hadith. I will also choose Monday and Thursday. Wsalm
BentK Esme i was thinking the exact same as i was watching this!
Excellent video with concise information! Thank you for motivating me!
Thank you posting this. Just started 5:2 today, got the book and watched the documentary. really just wanted to watch something that was motivating to start the first day with and this video was great! You're so pretty by the way!! Thanks again!
Just wanted to say hi and thank you-you've inspired me to give this a go. You look fabulous and what youbsaid struck a chord with me. Wish me luck!! 😀 Sonya Dinsdale, UK
You're so funny omg :'D There's something about the way you express yourself that just pulls me in. I couldn't stop smiling and laughing. I don't know how to say it haha but thanks a bunch for the great video! I just heard about this and I think I'll most definitely give this a try! :)
great video! I'm thoroughly enjoying this doc. thank you!
I started 3 weeks ago and feeling very good, also lost 2,4 kilo. Greatings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Excellent video. Been doing 5:2 for about 6 months now and have lost over 40lb. As you say, if you're creative with your fast day meals and careful on your feast days it's easy. Only thing I'd mention that's I don't thinks covered here is to go for foods high in protein on your fasting day. Fills you up for longer and helps fuel the repair benefits the diet is famed for.
I really gonna try it - love how well you sale in it haha! So funny to watch! :)
just wanted to say I enjoyed your video about 5:2 diet. You are a very real person. I hope that you are still experiencing the things you want to achieve from this life style (diet) and have kept the weight off and that you feel good about yourself and are healthy. Blessings to you.
Thanks! I had a great uncle that was Serbian!
~Sonja
You're beautiful. I'm back to fasting. I'm looking forward to putting some distance from starting so I can see results. Lost 11 lbs so far.
Hi Sonja, great positive video!
On my 7th Day of Fasting, and I've lost maybe 4kg already, coupled with some exercise. I almost think the scale is faulty as I can scarcely believe it works so well. At 31, it's the first diet I've ever tried, and hopefully it will be the last one I need.
To echo you: You neither starve completely, nor overeat on the next feed day - it just doesn't seem to happen for whatever physiological/psychological reasons. You feel awesome too for getting through a fast day and the first thing you even eat always seem to taste extra good.
Thanks for spreading the word!
So happy for you!😃😃😃😃😃
Great information, Sonya. I'm retired military and I was in great shape until retirement. Then I gained a few pounds because I don't have the mandatory regimen of exercise that I did in those days, and sometimes I'm just too busy to work out. I'm going to give this diet a try. Thanks!
You are good at vlogging! I appreciate your conscise information. Straight to the point. Congrats on the weight loss! I'm going to start doing this when I do my night shifts (nursing). I finish dinner, go to work, come home, shower, sleep and wake up to have my under 500 calorie oatmeal and coffee breakfast and eat dinner as usual a few hours later. That should work a couple days a week, right? *Fingers crossed!* Lol
One of the most common responses I hear from people is "No way, I love food too much". The thing is, you enjoy food WAY more when you do 5:2 because you appreciate it that much more when you have to restrict your intake occasionally.
Very good presentation of the real experience of 5:2 fasting.
I've already dropped the weight but I did it by learning to eat the right foods. Fasting is something I tried before, but just saw this show last night. Looks great--as in it might be just the ticket for everyone who wants to keep eating all the crap foods out there. That is mega powerful. "Fasting" with a 500-calorie "meal" should be rather easy as I've only fasted with zero calories before-which ain't so easy, but is tolerable for 24 hours.
Michael Mosley is a DOCTOR, not a journalist! His wife is also a doctor.
So excited to start this on Monday, i agree weight gained due to pregnancy is so hard. I simply cant get over that ur not late 20s/ early 30s. Hope the new lifestyle change is still going well. Going to sub to u now. Happy new year
Thank you! How has it been going?
Thank you for this video!! I'm starting today after watching you! :) wish me luck.
Are you still doing the diet?
Thanks for linking the documentary. I have had a lot of issues with weight gain over these last 10 years and as of now am around 40 pounds over weight. I have tried fasting before but always over longer stretches and it's just not achievable to continue with that regularly. I just heard about this "diet" lifestyle and thought wow this I can do, this would be easy for me. I too love different foods and eat fairly healthy but haven't had good luck. Today I fasted and now after watching your video I am watching the documentary and yes this feels right for me, thank you!
I wish you the best of luck, I am back on and doing great so far!
Great video! I would love it if you updated us on your progress and foods you eat on your fast days. I'm definitely going to look into this and try it! Thanks!
Thank you! I am thinking about doing a Vlog called 5:2 Fridays! I LOVE lisalisaD1! She is my favorite youtuber!
A Vlog is a great idea!
You're awesome. lovin your energy and these videos:)!!
Love your video! You look amazing! Question for you..are you still eating this way? I did this in the past and lost 30 lbs! I felt great! Then I let someone's negative comments get the better of me. So I stopped and gained it all back and more. I'm starting again. Hopefully it works as well as it did for me in the past. Thanks again for your video!
I'm am going to try this ! You have motivated me ! Love your personality ! Thanks for sharing !
I hope you have great success! Thank you for the kind words, best of luck!
I did this years ago to lower my blood pressure and it worked, losing some lbs was a side effect. Once I got in the groove I was looking forward to my fasting days!
Thank you! I'm an 80s child growing up on Australia but raised in delicious German food, and like you we had breakfast and went to play then lunch and went to play.....dessert was an occasional treat.
You really look young!
So your video inspired me to start the 5:2. I'm over 50 y. o., I'm 196lb and need to loose 81.57lb... I tried so many things that didn't work. Please, are you still posting videos about your fasting? You are very good at talking to the camera, so I decided to follow you!
Thank you for your words.
❤️💕
So so great to see this video, my granny has been doing the 5:2 diet for a couple of years now and had great results after years and years of struggling with her weight, my mum is also playing around with it to and even though not committed to it all the time she is seeing results. Im just finishing my first fast day and can totally see how this is manageable!!! I had Oatmeal for breakfast, sautéed mushrooms and spinach for lunch, an apple, a coffee and mashed cauliflower with parmesan for dinner, Its really okay! Im excited to see how it goes! xx
Awesome! I will be really interested too, to see how you do! See, you don't really starve if u pick the right foods, great job! Keep me posted!
~Sonja
Very straight forward, not complicated thanks 🙏
I'm doing a 30 day expirement with this right now coming from OMAD. I have found, I can gain weight, even on OMAD, if I eat too much at one meal. So I HAVE to open my window some days. I feel full on my 500 calorie omad days. I also clean fast. I love your video! Straight to the point!
One thing the other videos about the 5 2 fast don't explain that you did, is how it's really hard for the first two weeks and then it gets a lot easier after that. I am so glad to hear cause this is day one and in having cravings but you've hel0ed motivate me and I'm gonna do this !
Rachel Smith - there are 2 camps regarding how fasting works. One is fasting is "calorie reduction" and the other is the hormone theory, when insulin levels are low on fast days. Insulin is a fat storing hormone, so the lower it is, the more fat you will burn without exercise. This is also how the ketogenic diet works, by mimicking the fasted state even though people are still eating foods low in carbs. It doesn't matter which method you believe works, calories or carbs, the fact is that it works. Low carb diets will help fasting because they cause you to not be hungry, so doing this fast with a keto diet or modified keto diet (like cyclical keto), can really help prevent hunger on fast days.
Thank you Sonja! I am going to give this a try. Your video is very encouraging, concise and practical!
+Pamela Pollock Thank you! please let me know how it goes!
I started doing this recently but I do 3 days of fasting but I don't eat anything at all which I practice for 2 weeks prior and it's super easy now. I find I am way more alert and no brain fog. I actually feel calmer. Love the feeling way more than when I eat. Will start easing into working out now.
Wow, that seems hard, but I know what you mean about the brain fog! Best of luck to you!
Perfect and succinct. Yes, it works!! I am almost 62 and it's the only way I have ever found that works for me. (you look amazing!)
I would like to be updated. I actually just started the 5.2 lifestyle on this Sunday April 1st
Thanks for posting this video Sonja.... Straight to the point - really motivating .. God bless and kind regards.
Such an incentive. Thank you for this. How are you doing now? I think you need to do more videos like this! A diary. More!!!!!! Awesome
Thanks so much, not doing so well last few months, my son has been ill, but getting back on! Hope your doing well!!!!!!!
Thanks for the great information about your experience! I watched the documentary and several CZcams videos. I'm going to give it a shot!
I definitely want to hear updates
+Pili MF I sure am going to try!
I got my free trial bottle from facebook.com/My-Lifestyle-1653272541612978/?pidid=7c1698af-6ab8-463e-b1f7-068226631fd8 I have lost 9 pounds since I have been taking it. I have not even had to exercise. If you take the pills you will lose weight. My weight loss story, The Fast Diet, 5:2 Diet
I am so excited about that and yes- I don't seem to eat as much on my feed days!
Thank you. Today is my first fast day and it's 6:20pm and I'm still sipping on herbal tea. I appreciate your post!
Paula, Are you still managing to stay on this program? Thanks. I'm about to start it. :)
Thank you for this! I'm over 40 and love my food. I think I can handle this!
Love your energy and passion! you're glowing :) xxx
Awesome. Thanks for sharing !!
Thank you for your video. I am
starting tomorrow 🤞 I agree the documentary is fabulous. It is available on the BBC iPlayer for people who live in the UK and I would just also like to say Dr Micheal Mosley was amedical doctor and a medical journalist just to give him his full credentials he has done incredible work and will be sadly missed.
hi Sonya..someone referred me to the 5:2 fast diet last week and I found your CZcams video this morning while researchng the diet. My question now is after four years, how are you doing with this? Thank you for posting this.
I love fasting! unfortunately it's so misunderstood in the United States. The health benefits are amazing!!!
Daniel, it's now 2019 - is intermittent fasting Still misunderstood in the U.S?
I'm Austrian too, but my English is not as good as yours. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this diet, really highly appreciated :-)
Ok. You convinced me .. I've been thinking about it. Now I'm gonna do it.
I've tried so much, I just hate my body (the fact that I can't control it, not the body it self even though I'm to big) I'm just sad and depressed with myself. And nothing seems to work. So. . thanks! I'm starting my first fasting tomorrow! ❤️
Very well explained. I saw yesterday the documentary. I have followed other diets, inclusive Dukan, and this one, as you say, is the first one that makes sense. I will start it soon.
+Pablo Cortés Carranza hope it is going well for you!
I think the fast diet is easy because it does not rely on complicated calorie counting.
Calorie counting definitely works but it takes a lot of effort.
The 5:2 diet just keeps things simple, basically no eating Monday or Thursday - I don't go with the 500 calorie meal as for me it's simpler just not to eat on Monday and Thursday.
Monday and Thursday are good days because I am less likely to go out for a meal on those days.
That is so true. It is amazing to find out that how little food you only need to keep your body functioning.
I think it's so interesting too! I am starting to think there is a conspiracy in this country to keep us over weight!! Lol!
Awesome! I'm looking to do the Fasting-Mimicking Diet, which is just once-monthly cycles of 5-7 days of eating about 1000 calories the first day and 700-750 calories the remaining 4-6 days. Valter Longo is the lead longevity researcher at USC in California who has had amazing research results with this diet. I'm personally doing it not just for optimal weight, hunger regulation, and lean body mass gains, but also for its potential to reverse autoimmune disease, regenerate every type of cell in every nook and cranny in the body, and to aid in detoxification.
The 5:2 Diet I think is excellent as well, although I think everything exists on a gradient scale. Water fasting over long periods of time shows absolutely miraculous benefits, this FMD shows excellent stuff, and the 5:2 some pretty awesome results. It all depends on how active you have to be in life, how serious you are about preventing, treating, or reversing diseases in your past, present, and future as well. Since I work and am saving vacation days, I'm not going to be doing a water fast anytime soon, I will be doing this cycle (as well as the 5:2 diet perhaps on off weeks) once a month continuously if this first one goes well. The benefits are just astounding.
Sounds really interesting! Hope it goes well for you!
16:8 is pretty easy. I stop eating at 8PM and don't eat again until 12noon. Then eat anything I want until 8PM. So I'm not eating for 16 hours at a time. I'm 58. I maintain body fat under 20% with out any problem. After 8 hours from your last meal, the body starts cranking up HGH levels and many other positive benefits. So weight loss is just one of many benefits of fasting.
My 5:2 diet is : don’t eat anything for 5 days and eat what you want and how much you want for 2 days. It’s the only diet that works for me.
Great video. I have 2 questions.
1. Theoretically if we stop eating for example, at 6pm the night before if it's a day aka 24 hours. Shouldn't we be able to eat after 6pm the day after? I make it all day but struggle around the evening.
2. I heard it was 650 calories or is it 500 for women and 650 for men?
Thanks in advance
Thanks. You are really a sincere and genuine person. Please display the name of books,author,fitness app you mentioned.
I am also a "food crazy person" of German decent (made me laugh) I did my first fasting day yesterday (after watching a re-run of the Michael Mosely documentary this past weekend) and it was miserable! But I know I can definitely do this! Thank you so much for you motivating video!! You are gorgeous!!
Thank you! It's not always horrible, some days are really easy, others are not, I think it depends on what is going on around you too, good luck!
I just started the 5/2 diet and my plan is to commit to this till April and go from there. I think you did great with the video! I really need to break the sugar cravings that have and figure this is a good way to do it.
In the process of losing baby weight - have a 16 week old baby. Appreciate your comments on the challenge of losing that - and the encouragement that it can be done.
How are you doing now?
I forgot and wanted to tell you I found your channel through @lisalisad1 she is super nice! I subscribe and support all the 30+ CZcams ladies! Great job on your videos.
thanks for your knowledge and experience. you are great inspiration. im on my 3rd week of 5:2 during my 5 i have even gone to 2 meals and during 2 just drink coffee with mct when im hungry. i was stalled but now im losing again. 25lbs to go✌
Sounds good, I'm going to try it! Thanks!!
Hey thanks for your feedback. As s Brit, surprisingly hadn't seen the documentary before you suggested it! Fantastic viewing and I'm definitely going to try the diet out! Would love to hear how your getting on with the 5:2 since you uploaded you video? Best regards
+Tommy Correa updates coming, not so good, but giving it another go now that summer is over!
