I've been trying out 5:2, not so much for weight loss as for the health benefits. I don't have breakfast on a fast day, as ours isn't that healthy (cereal or toast) and I've not got time to cook before going to work. So I started out having a mid-afternoon 'lunch', then a light tea. However after my mid-afternoon lunch I'd get much hungrier, plus working out the tea when feeding family (which includes vegetarian and 2 meat eaters) was tricky. So I've tried out dropping all meals until the evening, and having a larger (still small) meal then, which means I feel less hungry. Is that OK, or is the idea to space meals out a bit more, in terms of time and quantity?
