I am still trying although I have failed this last 2 week (had a close friends mum pass away & my other halfs cousin die suddenly, so my minds not been in the best place).
Exercise is fine on any day INCLUDING fast days. They even say that people feel more energised while excercising on fast days.
Glad your op went well Nikki May, hope your fit & well again really soon.

Ah fab what days you been doing? How you finding it? X
I find it quite easy. I'm doing Monday and Friday and my OH is doing Monday and Thursday. I'm sure that Ive gone over my 500 calories a bit, but I'm enjoying eating normal food again after being on a protein only diet.
What days are you doing?

We are still waiting on the funeral details for my other halfs cousin, she was only 45 years old. I think I'll need to wait until after the funeral before I start trying to fast again. Just hope I don't go putting loads of weight on because I'm eating ALL the wrong foods and loads of them too.

Really? Because I was advised to carb up a bit before long runs or else you get too much lactic acid and hit the wall sooner.
On a ten miler I burn around 1200 cal so I am pretty sure I would collapse if I had only eaten 200 or so cal before hand.
Am interested if anyone else who runs does this plan?

Aww the most important thing is your recovery. So pleased you came through the op well.
I'm not doing the 5/2 at the minute as I barely eat above 500 calories most days owing to bad stomach problems. Oh and I'm not losing much weight either Nikki! Sod's law!!
Hope your recovery continues well x
I have lots of stomach problems too. Im wondering if that has a lot to do with my weight. X

Watch the documentry and they say that even without eating anything they did exercise & felt invigorated, not lacking in energy at all.
Here's the documentry link again:
Eat, Fast & Live Longer HD
Watch it for yourself and see what they say, Michael does all medical tests and everything.

Bit of an old topic but just wanted to say thank you for all the information you've all posted previously on this thread. I haven't read through all of it though! Especially for the link to that program baggy bear!
Inspired me to start! Monday night here in New Zealand and the flat tummy water posted by Nikki at the start of the thread is ready, infusing for the morning - my first day ever of fasting!
I'm in the salon tomorrow so hopefully it'll busy day to keep me distracted!
Bit nervous about the first day!
Anyone still doing it?
Would love to hear some success stories to keep me inspired!

Thanks so much for that water recipe Nikki! Not sure I'd have made it through the day otherwise..
It was surprisingly easier than I had expected though I had expected torture!
Ate nothing all day like a lot of people's advice said, but had to cave and have an apple at 3.30!
Looking forward to dinner tonight - boyfriend is out at rugby training so at least I'm just cooking for me and can avoid temptation of his proper food!
Apart from a headache, not feeling it too badly! Lets hope I can keep it up! x
