I'm on my second day of fasting on that 5 - 2 fasting diet.....

you know, eat normal for 5 days and fast for 2?? and I'm starving already. I've been up for an hour had my one cup of coffee and my stomach is growling so bad......gonna be a tough day today, I can tell. I've already lost 8 pounds and have been on this diet since March 11th. So, looks like I've got to start drinking my water now....it helps with the growling noise.

and break up the 500 calories into two separate meals....250 each. It seems for me at least the only way I can actually see the weight loss. Thanks for your concern.
