[quote=Anonymous]I've been doing 5:2 for almost a year with very few missed fasts.   It has been the only diet that I have ever had long term success on.  For me, I fast from after dinner Sunday night and do not eat a thing until 7 pm on Monday.  I do the same thing on Thurs.  I stay well hydrated during the day with water or lemon water.  I feel just fine and am at my goal weight.  Getting used to the fast probably took a few weeks.

Let's be straight, I wouldn't say I "enjoy" it, but it has been a fine way to keep my weight in check.  I am better on some non-fast days then others in terms of eating clean and healthy.   The one thing I insist on for myself is absolute mental freedom on non-fast days.  I do not beat myself up, period.  I feel far less obsessed with food overall.

I do not waver on a fast day.  Never.  My friends who want to have coffee, lunch, etc. have had to learn that this is my way and I'm not wavering.  I am happy to meet and not eat.  My friends thought I was crazy at first, but now that I have maintained for this long and been so free on non-fast days they are always asking questions, etc.

This is not the diet for everyone, it just works for me.  Just my two cents.  [/quote]
