Review: I enjoy my food! Consequently over the last few years I've gained weight and at aged 50 I'm over a stone over weight. It's more difficult to lose weight as I get older, as everyone will know, and although I'm not greatly over weight it is uncomfortable for me. So I bought the book six weeks ago, read it over the course of approximately 3 to 4 hours and planned for my two fast days and began. I personally stick on my fast days to drinking coffee/tea during the day including skimmed milk and a little sugar until approximately 2pm. I then have a large bowl of homemade celery soup which is filling and a banana in the afternoon to give me some energy (although I'm sure I would be ok without) and for dinner a large mushroom omelette made from two eggs with a large salad which leaves me to have a weight watchers yoghurt in the evening and a couple of celery sticks if I'm hungry. I weigh myself every two weeks. The first weigh in I lost 4lb and since then 2lb each fortnight. By reducing my calories by 3000 per week this equals a constant 1lb per week weight loss.This works for me and I've found it relatively easy! I have tried other diets and they are far more complicated, confusing and more difficult to sustain. On the 5:2 I know I can fast two days as the other five days I enjoy normal food, meals, eating out without any guilt, crisps, chocolate by sticking to the 2000 a day calories for a woman which is absolutely fine. It always fits into my week as the 'diet' is only for any two days so I can change round if necessary. The first couple of fast days are tricky but I knew I could eat well the next morning and it becomes easier over the weeks as I think the body adjusts to the new way of eating. I think my stomach may have shrunk and so I eat less on non-fast days and I'm more aware of what I'm eating but I still do not feel deprived at all. Maintaining the weight once my target is reached is simply changing to one fast day a week - easy! I've noticed the day after my second day of fasting I also have so much energy and I'm more alert which is great. Give it a go, you won't regret it with the weight loss and good long term health.

Review: As a former strongman and bodybuilder with an encyclopaedial knowledge of fitness, potentially dangerous diets and all the rest of it...who has well and truly lost his way and simply doesn't have the energy or motivation to get back onto one of his old pro-diets, because they are absolutely awful... I spent 10 years looking great, but miserable and hungry.... I was looking for a new direction. This book is absolutely not for anyone who likes simple, straight forward advice. As a man, I found the diary entries, and the disorganised mix and match format really confusing. Am I reading a plan? or am I reading how the Author felt at the time in her Adrian Mole style journal entries......... Also, 25% of the book seems to be paragraphs and reviews from other readers who have written statements about how they are doing on the diet, and how their emotional state is etc....again very confusing... am I reading guidance or someones personal journey...not really what I wanted to read about, no disrespect to the female elements among us but reading someones diary isn't interesting for a chap. The first 40 or so pages are a trawl of dull personal opinions and "changed my life" stories and anecdotes and emotional reflections that offer little but a brief insight into the mindset and emotional opinion of the author and her fans. Its a confused and very wordy book aimed entirely at the nosey beaks out there, and I'm afraid to say, the female reader who wants to follow the authors personal diary and progress...... it didn't appeal to my straight forward need for a simple, easy to follow, logical program at all. The 5:2 is allegedly a very useful way of dieting but you wouldn't think it reading this book. Im sure the info is in there somewhere, mixed in with witty diary entries, stories about how fat peoples joints feel and whimsical comments from fans of the diet and the Author, but I wanted something more structured, simple and solid content - what this book is, is a mixture of emotional statements, personal opinion and reviews buttering up how great the Author is. If you're after something simple, straight forward and pragmatic. This is not the way. 226 pages that could have been condensed to 10.
