    Yes add me please. I have lost 16 Kg on 5.2 and I am bobbing around in maintenance zone around 62 kgs. I am still fasting 3 days a week on 500 cal, and 1500 other days. I put on 2 kgs a few weeks ago but it's nearly gone now. I might buy a kitchen scale if anyone can recommend one?

    Morning, I started this yesterday too! Do most people do 2 days fasting? Only asking as other have mentioned doing more.

    I think you are supposed to do 2 days but you can do up to 3 and on maintenance you do one.

    Tried it for a day - the 500 calorie day - and gave up because I was a big moody beast!
    I don't recommend if you, like me have an enormous appetite. I was so hungry!! Kudos to you if you can do this!

    It is 5 days at 1200 and two fasted days at 500 but you can eat liquid foods or other foods. You can google it too.

    No, it's 5 days at your maintenance level and 2 at 500 for women and 600 for men.

    I think it's 5 days at normal maintenance/TDEE levels and 2 days at 500. Otherwise it's extreme caloric restriction for most people.

    Hi fellow52ers :)

    Please feel free to add me. I've been eating this way for quite a while now and I've lost 6 stone so far. Got another 4 stone to go. Can't imagine eating any other way now.
