Can anyone tell me about the 5:2 or tell me how to fast. I just thought fasting was starving yourself...LOL! There seems to be more to it than that. I did a search on here for both but I must need to call them something else cuz it came back as nothing found.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

There are groups here for IF, Google is your friend too.
The basic premise of IF 5:2 is 2 days eat 500-600 cals, the other days eat normally0 -
The premise is 5 days a week, you eat at maintenance. Then 2 days a week you eat 500 calories.0
