Anyone doing/ attempted the 2/5 intermittent fasting, my doctor has recommended this and I am a little apprehensive, wondering if anyone has had any experience with this diet???
Thanks

    That doesn't sound healthy to me at all.

    It's not as bad as it sounds, 2 days a week you keep under 500 cal eating protine and veg only.
    No way in hell I could completely fast for a day and not end up binging myself.

    That actually doesn't make it sound any better. What is the rationale behind this?

    Is your doctor aware of your binge eating? A first step recommendation for bingeing is usually to keep blood sugar levels stable by eating every few hours. Fasting does not seem like the best idea
