Can someone direct me? What is 5:2?



Recommended Posts

I keep seeing 5:2 posted in various forums, but nothing that explains it. Is it a special way of eating?

I read that 5:2 is for sleevers who are over 1 yr out and won't let anyone under 1 year in their group. I can't wait to join them lol.. NUTs are the nutritionists.... Hope this helps. I am 5 months out yesterday so I'm still a newbie lol....

not the best definition, but................

5:2 is a "diet" plan of sort - where i believe you don't eat for two days, the other 5 days you eat "normal/small portions" of course

hopefully some one can jump on the bandwagon with a better explanation :)

good luck

I think some members here have had great success with the plan, too. I seem to remember someone saying that it was working well for long-time sleevers in the final push to reach their goals. But I'm not certain; it would be great if someone who uses the program could chime in!

(I would love to have one more tool in my tool belt when the time comes!)

Some of us made it to goal and have gained weight back. We've tried losing the re gain without any success. Have you ever heard of the 5 day pouch diet? It's supposed to get you back on track.

We believe that this gets you back on track and keeps you on track.

Others in the group have been trying for a long time to get to goal and are having trouble losing.

If you click on the post that has all the links on it, you'll learn a lot about the 5:2 way of eating. The people in the group plan to keep eating this way in maintenance.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
