Hi everyone, I've been doing 5:2 with varying success for the past few weeks. I'm in a calorie deficit anyway using MFP and have lost 2 stone over the past few months. I want to incorporate the fasting too as I'm interested in the health benefits and I've found the weeks I have managed it it has really boosted my loss from 1-2 lbs a week to 2-3 lbs a week (I still have a lot to loose).
I'm finding it absolutely fine during the day. Not a big breakfast person anyway and just having a low cal (100 or less) homemade soup for lunch which fills me up. My problem is after dinner I'm still so hungry and a number if times I've had to have something to eat otherwise I can't sleep. Tomorrow I'm going to try and skip the soup and just have a 500 cal dinner so maybe this will help. But every time I have went over my cals it has been night time snacks and I just don't get why I can control my hunger all day but not at night.
Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do? I'm very frustrated with myself
