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? http://thefastdiet.co.uk/the-fast-diet-quickly/ |
5 to 2 are the odds on it not working.
|
I think Vicky and Lee are doing this atm.

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

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?.... |
Can't imagine going a full day without eating

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.

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 |
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.
