Hi all. I have done 5:2 for years successfully. I was strict after my second child, lost about 1 1/2- 2 stones and then used it to maintain. I have put on about 3/4 stone over lockdown and found 5:2 is not working so well now. This is probably partly due to working from home and home schooling at same time. Plus the start of the peri menopause. I have decided to switch to 16:8 to see how that goes. If I’m strict Monday - Friday but relax a bit on weekend, will that undue all the good work?. I do need to have some balance which is why 5:2 worked so well for me for ages. Thanks!
