    500 calorie days!?!?! thats lowwww. You would feel a lot better if your carbs were moderate and you just maintained a caloric deficit. That low cals cant be good for your metabolism. Check out my blog https://redphox.wordpress.com/ for my fasting approach

    Read up on 5:2 and the science behind the different types of intermittent fasting before judging please.

    Thanks for that reply. Seem to get 1 or 2 uninformed posters like this in every IF thread...

    The research on the effects of 5:2, 4:3 or even every other day diet on women are very very limited. A rat study showed females can get a hormonal imbalance as a result of fasting. But, we are not rats and that is one singular study. As with any weight loss plan, listen to your body and be honest with yourself regardless of scale results. Everyone is different and different plans work for different people.

    Interesting. Still haven't heard back from the doom and gloom poster above. Perhaps there are real potential issues for some women, but without so much as a link provided, it's hard to get too worked up...

    One of the ADF researchers happens to be a woman - Krista Varady http://www.eoddiet.com/

    She also does clinical trials on women - like http://www.nature.com/srep/2015/150105/srep07561/full/srep07561.html
