I have tried so many different diets over the years and never succeeded. I was almost 12 stone at 5 foot 6. Then I discovered 5'2 and as you can see in my profile pic - it worked! So stick at it - it's amazing! I am so thankful everyday that I discovered a permanent, sustainable way of eating.

Well done, I'm thinking of trying it but not sure how it works?
I have some slim n save packs left which I thought I could use for fast days or do you need to eat specific things?

hoppingmad don't see why not as long as you don't exceed 500 cals.
The best things to eat on fast days are veggies - you get more bang for your buck! 
And avoid carbs - save them for NFDs.
Have a look through the 5:2 recipe thread for loads of fast day recipe ideas.
As to how it works - well, it works because you never feel deprived. The mantra is that you can always have it - whatever 'it' is - tomorrow!
