I find my stomach acid needs something to work on. My reflux gets worse when I am being serious abut my dieting.

I am sure the weight loss would help though. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't thing.

Let us know how you get on with it aglassofroseplease...good luck......Love your 'name' lol.

Thanks Shirley. I asked my doctor about diets and she was fine about it. Although I didn’t mention 5:2 as I wasn’t thinking of doing 5:2 at the time I spoke to her. I’ve looked up Michael Mosleys list of health conditions that he advises people with against doing the fasts, and he doesn’t mention acid reflux etc so I’m going to try an 800 cal fast and see how I get on and take it a day at a time - if it helps shift the weight then that’s good ?

I'd say you would need GP or a dietitian advice regarding doing the 800 with your hiatus.

The only experience I got of it is that I have the book and looked through it lol. I haven't actually done it....I shall try it out one of these days .
