Thinking of doing the 5:2 plan

[Fair2bslimLady 72]

Hi fellow sleevers, I am approaching my 1 yr anniversary, and my lost is at a stand still, I eat healthy and workout but the scale dont move, well thinking of giving this 5:2 plan a try, would love some feed back on how it works for sleevers, so far my calorie intake is 1000.

It works great. I had regained 15 lbs and I was so depressed becasue I could not seem to take it off, even with low carbing. It didn't take that long to get back to goal, and I have been maintaining for a couple of months with no trouble.

What is the 5:2 plan that I hear about? Please enlighten me. Thanks

Thanks Georgia . One of these days I will learn how to make links. I am pretty sure I know how to do it but I knew somone who actually knew how to do it would chime in.

I have to go out to the website to "copy" the link at the top of the page once I am IN that thread. I can't seem to add a link from phone app.

You just type it or paste it in. Like http://google.com.

If you mean getting the URL for a thread from the app, go to the top of the thread and click the thread title. That will open the thread in a browser window inside the app. Wait until the page loads all the way, then click the arrow thing at the lower right and click Copy Link.

Then you can use the back arrow in the upper left to get back to the app and go to the thread where you want to paste it. It is a bit of a pain.

I started the 5:2 plan this week and I'm really happy so far. It's definitely doable. I'm a little over a year out, not where I wanted to be weight loss wise. Today I felt a lot of restriction while eating chicken and I haven't felt that in a long while. I was amazed! I think the fasting has actually helped get my tummy back to feeling right again. I honesty missed feeling this much restriction so this was a pleasant surprise!

Feeling a lot of restriction seems to be common with those doing 5:2! This is one thing I love about it!

So awesome for you! Yes, that is exactly what I felt also. More FELT restriction plus just eating correctly.

The more you can manage good fasting days the better restriction and the better u gain control. I find during my fasting days it helps me learn to say no to the head hunger and is getting control to say not today at a tempting sweet. We are all human and fall short. But 5:2 is helping. Good luck!

5:2 really seems to have taken away my appetite. I was such a night time snacker, it's no wonder I gained weight. 5:2 completely cured me of snacking after dinner.< /p>

I just love how the morning after a fast day, I think, almost every time... "is this a fast day?" because I'm just not that hungry and it would be easy to fast the next day... And the restriction is so much better the day after a fast.

[Fallenangel2904 494]

I notice this too. On non fast days by appetite is drastically reduced. I kind of have to make myself eat Breakfast. It's also helped me cut down on snacking a lot. I used to eat 2 Snacks a day between breakfast as lunch and between lunch and dinner. I haven't had the desire to have those snacks at all since starting 5:2. Just really happy with things!
