Hi,

Would just like to know how do you know

Which days to fast?

How many days between your fasting days?
I'm just starting this diet I had my first fast day on the 6th of Oct and another fast day today is that too far apart should I do another fast day this week?

What do you eat of your fast days?

Thanks.

Monday and Friday are not too far apart. You just need to pick 2 days within a week or at least average that. There is no secret to the 5:2 ratio. The author just couldn't stick to alternate day fasting so he tried 5:2 and found it worked for him. Any amount of fasting is found to have overall health benefits and weight loss benefits.

I do alternate day fasting and eat a lot of different things on my fast days but mostly vegetables, soups and lean protein, for the satiety.
