I snack on babybel chesse or a handful of unsalted nuts xx

I find if I eat fish (predominantly Salmon) that I can get away with a few boiled new potatoes without any effect on my levels, which is a bonus as with Chicken it spikes me so I avoid. I think it is to do with fat/oily content of the fish.

have you worked out the calorie amount in these? might be helpful for people on a 5:2??

great thanks :)

These sound yummy, do you wait for them to go cold to enjoy, or do they need eating immediately? thanks

I fast on 5:2, eat a meal of 500 calories at lunchtime on a Monday and Wednesday, eating a low carb diet on my normal working days, my body has got used to it now and I don't feel hungry on my fast days, drinking plenty of water and tea helps to fill you up. On the normal eating days, I don't...

I have been taking 500g x 2 a day for 4 years now, it hasn't done anything for me with regards to weight loss and luckily I haven't suffered any side effects. I am losing weight on 5:2, low carbing on normal eating days, this works better for me. I am aiming to be medication free within the next...

Lidl protein rolls are perfect for this, you can fill them with any filler that you would fill normal bread, they are very filling and so only need 1! x

ooh I must try this, we don't have a Waitrose that close to us, but by coincidence I am going to be in the town that does have one this Thursday after school!! might have to get some and try it......purely for research purposes!!!!!;)

Hi, since the new year, I have lost 1 stone and 3 pounds, steadily losing a pound a week using the 5:2 approach, I have found it fairly easy to do, it's a part of my life now, I need to lose another stone and half to get to 10 stone, then I will be happy with my weight, I'm never going to be...

I keep a pack of sugar free polo mints in my desk, also sometimes have the odd werthers sugar free, but never too many as they contain a laxative effect!

My employer always needs a copy of any appointment letters to explain absences, it's not a problem, just for HR to keep in your file, that way, you can't be accused of taking time off unnecessarily (some of my ex-colleagues used to think I was skiving!)

I eat quite a lot of cheese most days, it fills me up, stops me snacking on carbs and is part of my 5:2 diet, I am steadily losing 1 pound a week (with a small pause before Easter) and am happy with that. :happy:

2 eggs scrambled for breakfast (with butter) , feta, beetroot and walnut salad, Greek yogurt with berries for lunch and for dinner tonight is chicken with veggies. xx

I keep mini babybel cheeses in the fridge, they're great to snack on x

I have found the same with sweet potatoes, in a casserole they do not affect sugar levels, but cooking whole (roasted as wedges etc.) spikes me, thankfully not too much, so I also think that in casseroles, the sugar is dissolved into the liquid.

I'm a long way off from retiring, however, I am lucky and get all the school holidays to not have an alarm call - I might add that I do still work during those holidays (marking, prepping etc.) I can just do it in my scruffs at the kitchen table! ;)

I used to eat breakfast on my non-fasting days, since I was off school for Easter holidays however, I tended not to bother, just having a cuppa and then waiting until lunchtime to eat, since coming back to school I tried breakfast at the usual time and found that I didn't feel hungry at all and...

thanks for this. I usually eat between 1500-2000 on my non-fasting days, all low card, I think I just hit a plateau and it seems I'm back to losing again, slowly but surely! thanks x

I bought my slow cooker from Tesco about 10 years ago and is still going strong, so for me that was good value (around £30)
