Just had my first fast day on the 5:2 challenge and was surprised that I managed really well. I didn't feel tired or hungry all day, I had an amazing dinner, feeling a little peckish now, but not hungry. I will have a higher protein content for my next fast day meal, to fill me up better. However I am looking forward to 3 meals tomorrow haha

Well done! It sounds like 5:2 is going to suit you 😀 I kind of find some days go better than others, though. I suppose it all depends on your physical and possibly emotional state at the time. You're right about the protein though, it does help. My favourite meal of the week is definitely breakfast after a fast day!

Oh yes my breakfast this morning was heavenly, with you on that one!

I find varying the days better than having fixed days. I did a little research and found the minimum stated by many is not based on any scientific fact. It stands to reason that the minimum for one person is not going to be a minimum for someone else of a different weight. I would use a minimum of 50% of your RDI at most.

Hmm that is an interesting thought Mindfull_Body, my RDI is at 1800, so would be a 900 calorie intake instead of 500, quite a difference. I have obtained a copy of the 5:2 diet book and plan to read it over the weekend, will see what it suggests for each person.
