How does 5:2 work when you reach goal? Do you continue with 5:2 and increase your calories on the NF days? Decrease to 6:1? Haven't thought about this before, but I'm getting close to goal and need to start thinking about this

    Maintenance is 6:1 so that one is still gaining the benefits of fasting but not still losing weight.

    Just as while losing. ...tailor it to your needs. Trial and error. 5:2 / 6:1 / 7:0.... depending on social obligations. It's a tool. Use it as needed.

    I do better on 5:2 as I still just like food...the good and the bad stuff. So I have no problems increasing my cals on non fast days.
