I have the Mosley one.
I'd point her in the direction of this documentary bbc.co.uk

Thanks - I just ordered the Mosley one for her and will give the link. Quite glad it hasn't expired.

Kieren - the book I have is 'The Fast Diet' by Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer. It explains all the science behind the idea of intermittent fasting, but in a way even I can understand so it is quite accessible! It also has some sample meals/recipes as well. There is a good group on Facebook for the 5:2 as well - quite supportive - so it might be worth her checking that out if she's on FB.

I'm very happy. I was 12st 13lb this morning - the first time under 13st in about 2 years.

Thank Schnecke. I have ordered the same book.

Being the chief technical phone support line for all things computer, I think I won't mention online support groups. I think the book & oysterboys link should be enough. :)

It's a fast day for me too. It's someone's birthday and they have put donuts, biscuits, cakes etc next to the coffee machine. Bastard!
