Eating on the Fast Diet


The Fast Diet or the 5:2 Plan is the diet craze currently sweeping the UK. Now I'm not one for diets, in fact I don't actually need to lose weight, but Hubs and I have decided to give it a go for a few weeks before our Easter holiday. Hubs has put on a few pounds since leaving the gym in October and I want to support his efforts to shift this weight.

The main rules are that you eat very restricted calories (500 for women, 600 for men) split between two meals for two non-consecutive days a week. You eat nothing in between these two meals but on the other days you eat normally and can enjoy treats such as wine and desserts.


The health benefits linked to this diet are a reduced risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Intermittent fasting has been proven to extend lifespan in animals and when fasting your body switches from fat storing mode to fat burning mode. Also as you fast your body uses its energy to repair itself. For me these health benefits are all good reasons to give intermittent fasting a go. Its not a diet that's going to take over my life and lead to food obsession and an unhealthy relationship with food. This diet is more a way of life and diet obsession can't take over as tomorrow is always a normal eating day. I think cutting back on snacking is sensible because if you snack regularly you're never really hungry at mealtimes. It's good to feel real hunger once in a while. 


Today's fasting menu

Breakfast: 1 poached egg on toast
Dinner: Mexican pizza - passata, red onion, mushrooms, and a few slices of mozzarella on a tortilla, baked in hot oven for ten minutes and served with a little (undressed) side salad.

We haven't bought the book to support this diet but we are using a pull-out section from a magazine to guide us through and give us ideas for recipes. So far, so good - tonight's pizza was delicious and I didn't feel deprived as I had a whole one to myself. I'm generally more of a little and often eater so this way of eating does seem strange to me at the moment.


Just no looking at any food blogs until tomorrow and I can't wait for a biscuit with my morning coffee.

    1. Yes,the idea is to give your digestive system a break so you don't eat for about 10-12 hours in between breakfast and dinner.

  2. Wow that sounds interesting, but really hard to do. I usually don't eat from about 8p.m. (sometimes earlier) till 9:30a.m., so sticking to that fast would mean having breakfast earlier or having dinner later in addition to skipping all meals and snacks in between. I think that wouldn't be easy at all.

    Edit: just researched (very lightly) on the subject and it seems there is not just one opinion on when you should eat.

  4. I'm doing intermittent fasting for Lent...skipping breakfast and having my first meal of the day at 11:00 a.m. and dinner around 6:00 p.m. It's tough because I'm a morning person and am at work by 7:00 a.m., but it's also been good on many levels...including starting to lose weight and noticing fewer digestion problems. Hope it works for you too!

  5. This is very like my normal eating pattern, every 3 days or so I cut out meat and carbs, if I do not I feel heavy and sluggish.On those days I eat fresh fruit and salads. I add yogurt sometimes but usually have a glass of skimmed milk.

  7. I have been doing this too, and like it very much. It's actually not as hard as it seems, and I love waking up the next day knowing it's not a "fast" day.

  8. Been on the Fast Diet for a few weeks and it works. Gets easier to miss breakfast and I'm finding I don't eat breakfast most days. The book gives the science behind the diet, some tips and of course the eating plan. Sounds like you are doing well without the book but your local library may have a copy. Good luck with your "diet".

  10. supporting one's efforts as a team is admirable. i have been driving my husband to the train station and we have a chance to chat about things we want to do. his doctor said he needs to lose about 5 lbs. so we are inspiring one another to reduce. more moving, less consuming.

  25. I promise to share this testimony all over the world once my boyfriend returns back to me, and today with all due respect I want to thank DR.ONIHA for bringing joy and happiness to my relationship and my family. I want to inform you all that there is a spell caster that is real and genuine. I never believed in any of these things until I lost my boyfriend, I required help until I found a great spell caster, And he cast a love spell for me, and he assured me that I will get my boyfriend back in two days after the spell has been cast. Three days later, my phone rang, and so shockingly, it was my boyfriend who has not called me for the past 6 years now, and made an apology for the heart break, and told me that he is ready to be my backbone till the rest of his life with me. DR.ONIHA released him to know how much I loved and wanted him. And opened his eyes to picture how much we have shared together. As I`m writing this testimony right now I`m the happiest girl on earth and me and my boyfriend are living a happy life and our love is now stronger than how it was even before our break up. So that`s why I promised to share my testimony all over the universe. All thanks goes to DR.ONIHA for the excessive work that he has done for me. Below is the email address in any situation you are undergoing, it may be a heart break, and I assure you that as he has done mine for me, he will definitely help you too.

  26. WHAT A MIRACLE...No one could have ever made me believe that the letter I’m writing  would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker)whom DR BALBOSA have helped in getting back her ex..she also told me that DR BALBOSA is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person and also like a father to her...My name is Meyers Brown and I am from the USA... My love life was in shambles, I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn't face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he broke up with me again. I was confused and did not know what to do again, so i got in contact with DR BALBOSA. He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me and this time my husband came back with so much love,It was one of the best things I have ever done i am the happiest woman on earth and I am filled with so much joy and happiness because my marriage is saved. we are now very much happy with ourselves. DR BALBOSA is for REAL and for good. He can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back in just 48 hours!

  30. My names is charlie am from USA i want to use this opportunity to thank my great Dr KADUKA who really made my life a pleasurable one today. This great Doctor KADUKA brought my husband back to me, i had 3 lovely kids for my husband, about 3 years ago i and my husband has been into one quarrel or the other until he finally left me for one lady. i felt my life was over and my kids thought then will never see their father again. i tried to be strong just for the kids but i couldn’t control the pains that torments my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because i was really in love with my husband. Every day and night i think of him and i always wish he will come back to me, until one day i met a good friend of mine that was also in a situation like me but her problem was her ex-boyfriend who she had an unwanted pregnancy for and he refused to take responsibility and dumped her. she told me that mine was a small case and that i shouldn’t worry about it at all so i asked her what was the solution to my problems and she gave me this great man phone number and his email address kadukatemple@gmail .com or whatsapp +393511406759. i was doubting if this man was the solution, so i contacted this great man and he told me what to do and i deed them all, he told me to wait for just Three days and that my husband will come crawling on his kneels just for forgiveness so i faithfully deed what this great man asked me to do and for sure after three days i heard a knock on the door, in a great surprise i saw him on his kneels and i was speechless, when he saw me, all he did was crying and asking me for forgiveness, from that day, all the pains and sorrows in my heart flew away,since then i and my husband and our lovely kids are happy.that is why i want to say a big thanks to DR.KADUKA This great man made me to understand that there is know problem on earth that has no solution so please if you know that you have this same problem or any problem that is similar, i will advise you to come straight to this great man. you can email him at kadukatemple@gmail .com or whatsapp +393511406759

  31. I am FLORENCE JUKE, i am married to my husband for over 5 years and we were living happily together with our two kids, until my lovely and caring husband traveled to AUSTRALIA for a business trip; where he met this lady. Since then, he became different and hated me and our innocent kids with passion, and never care about us again. So when my husband came back from his trip two months ago, he said he does not want to see me and our kids in our matrimonial home again. He drove us out of the house at night and went back to AUSTRALIA the next morning. so i and my kids were almost on the street frustrated, begging to put food on our table.. On the process i came across a friend who told me about this great man named Dr KADUKA and the seventh spirit...at first i was scared but when i think of what my kids are going through i summons courage and contacted him immediately and he responded after a few hours and i explained to him about my situation and he said that he will help me and told me what to do and i did what he had requested of me. He asked me to stay calm for 48 hours that my husband shall come back to me. that within seven hours my husband will call me..And truly, when it was the seventh hour according to Dr KADUKA My husband called me to come back to the house that he was sorry, that he has sent the house key through his friend to me that he will be coming home in the next two days. According to Dr KADUKA my husband return back to me. This is how i get my family back after a long brake up by a strange lady. With all this help from Dr KADUKA and the seventh spirit as he likes to call it. So i said to my self that i won't just keep this testimony to myself Because i know there are many people like me out there who are facing many issue and need same help. You can also bring your problems to him no matter what it is he will put an end. you can contact him on his email (KADUKATEMPLE@GMAIL.COM OR write him on WHATSAPP +393511406759 ) or call him on WHATSAPP +393511406759. i bet you will be glad you did.

  32. MY LOVER IS BACK...
    My name is Ronald Monica from USA. I am really pleased with this service. I am one of those people who said, “I’ll never call a psychic or a magician or whatever” to help me with my problems – least of all my love problems, but I reached the point where I knew I needed some guidance, and I’m so glad I found this man called Dr balbosa, I never in a million years would have thought I’d be writing a letter like this, but when I nearly lost Andrew, my love in one of our stupid, fights (he broke up with me), I thought I had lost everything. i cry all day and think that he will never come back to me again. I read a testimony by a man called Tyce Logan about him saying how Dr balbosa helped him to get back is ex wife within 48 hours .I quickly email Dr balbosa and explained everything to him And when I was at my most desperate situation he didn’t take advantage of me. Dr Balbosa is the best and genuine spell caster. He performed a very good service for a person in true need. I don’t know how you did it, or how this magic works, but all I know is, IT WORKS!! Andrew, my husband and I are happily back together, and I’ll always be grateful to Dr balbosa...
    don't fail to contact him for any kind of help, Dr balbosa is very capable and reliable...From Monica

  33. How To Get Your Ex Lover/Partner/Boyfriend/Girlfriend/Wife Or Husband Back

    I was married for 16 years to a loving mother and wife. We had 2 children together who are now 11 & 13. I reconnected with an old girlfriend from college on Facebook and we began an affair and I left my wife. The woman I had an affair with is a wonderful woman and I love her too and our kids had begun accepting the situation and my wife has kind of moved on, but not in love with the man she is seeing. I thought I fell out of love with my wife and I felt terrible about what I did to her - she is a good woman and I don't know what came over me. I decided to try and get her back and I was recommended to Lord Zakuza for help to get reunited with my wife and within 48 hours after I made contact with Lord Zakuza my wife decided to work things out with me and now we are back together with our children living as one happy family. I really don't know the words to use in appreciation of what Lord Zakuza did for me but I will say thank you sir for reuniting I and my family back. For those in trying times with their marriages or relationship can communicate with LORD ZAKUZA through the below information's.
