5/2 diet??????????

has anyone tried the 5 day 2day diet? the one where you eat normally for 5 days then eat a maximum of 600 calories the next day??????

Just replied to another post on this haha!!

Ive been doing alternate day fasting for 5 weeks now, i love it!! Lost 5lbs but i havnt got very much to lose so really happy with a 1lb/week average! Hit a plateau on weightwatchers so went for a change and i dont think ill ever go back!!

Come join us in the Johnsons Up Day Down Day Diet forum, JUDDDD for short! It's an awesome diet, everyone is really positive and helpful! Hope to see you there! x

how do i get to that?

I'm planning on going onto 5/2 when I come off Cambridge. I want to do it as more of a lifestyle change than a diet, the scientific results for this way of eating are fantastic. I'm not just talking fat and weight, it's all about repairing current cells, rather than creating new ones.

I'm planning on doing 2 days eat, 1 day fast, 2 days eat, one day fast etc etc

We are in "other diet options" !

Ps bayboy your spot on, I'm really interested in the scientic aspect to it, reducing your risk of certain cancers and heart disease, helping prevent Alzheimer's and dementia, and helping your cells to go into repair mode!
I'm viewing it as a lifestyle change and hope to continue doing x
