LighterLife has joined forces with Superdrug to launch the first exclusive 5:2 Fasting products on the UK market. The Fastpack range includes porridge, shakes, bars and meals in a variety of flavours. Eating four of these products on a Fast day provides all the nutrients you need in a convenient way containing a ready calculated 600 calories. It's very, very easy and fits in with busy lifestyles. You don't have to cook separate meals for yourself or calculate calories or nutrients. As you use them just two days a week, it is easy to work them into your weekly eating plan. The meals, soups, porridge and shakes are easily made up using water so you can take them with you on the go, at the office or when away from home.
I was asked if I wanted to give the 5:2 diet a try for myself. I am always happy to give diets a go as I am never more committed to healthy eating than when reviewing a diet plan! After the excesses of Christmas, January is the perfect time to focus on healthy eating and shedding any gained weight. For a short term diet plan, the 5:2 diet with Fastpacks sounds really easy and I am very interested in the concept of intermittent fasting as it is said to bring its own health benefits.
So today, on the first Monday of 2014, I will be embarking on my own 5:2 diet and reporting back weekly on how I am doing and how well the Fastpacks deliver on taste, convenience and satisfaction. As a vegetarian, I was delighted to see the Fastpacks are all veggie friendly, even the savoury meals which contain soya and not meat products.
You can follow my journey here and I'll be updating on Twitter @wendymcd83 where I'll be using the #tryfast hashtag.
Available exclusively at Superdrug stores across
the UK and Ireland, the new range start at £7.99 for a box of four FastpacksTM –
