The 5-2 thread
 
Anyone tried this diet? I have a couple of times, it's hard but something I think you get used to when you have a few dishes down that fit in with the calorie restrictions.

Also called the fast diet it was made popular following a BBC documentary Horizon presented by Dr Micheal Mosely.

The focus is on intermittent fasting, for 2 days a week (non consecutive) you restrict your calorie intake to 600 cals for men and 500 for women.

Sounds easy... It isn't, but I'm having another go.
Anyone else willing to give it a go?

5 to 2 are the odds on it not working.

"600 cals for men and 500 for women",
the norm is 2,500 and 2000 respectively.

Thanks kaz, think it is something you get used to should have stuck with it before heard nothing but good things about it :D

I know what the 'norm' is but who set the norm and is it not good to challenge it if there's a better way?....

You do eat, you eat a quarter of your usual intake is all. :)

The guy in the video doesn't sound overly healthy, gasping before every sentence :suspect:

It does sound interesting though.

I did this last year and it works well - it's quite fun too trying to think up how to get the most on your 500 cal fasting days, you can come up with some very inventive dishes.

It doesn't do the body ant harm to lay off so much food for a couple of days.if people are sensible with it,it's fine.:hugesmile:

Kizzy 06-09-2013 02:23 PM

True and I haven't seen any reports of adverse effects after a day, longer would obviously. found some juice recipes that will be great for fast days, are you having a go kaz?

Started this a few days ago. Lost 2 lbs on my fast day, but it was probably just water :laugh:

From reading about, seems it works, and works well. Hope so :p

Lee. 06-09-2013 03:34 PM

I was talking to a customer who has just lost 3 and a half stones on this diet.. He said he was exercising too though.

Hi Kizzy I lost just over a stone but then was taken into hospital (not diet related I might add) so had to stop doing it :(

My favourite recipe was steam lots of veg then flash fry them in olive oil with garlic and chinese 5 spice and add a few noodles comes out to around 250 - 300 cals depending on the veg!!

Kizzy 06-09-2013 04:47 PM

Kizzy 10-09-2013 04:17 PM
