    It's not a diet (you can eat anything you like), it's not a lifestyle (it's for weight loss), but a way of eating (one of the intermittent fasting protocols). The permanent version would be 6:1.

    I've been doing IF 16:8 since July 25. I don't know if I'd do well on the 5:2. I hope it works well for you.

    There are a couple of groups on this. Search 5:2 or 5 + 2. This type of approach has worked for me for about 2 1/2 years and I plan to keep at it! Best of luck to you. :)
