Has anybody tried this or heard about it or knows someone who tried it? What are your guys' thoughts? Basically for two non conceutive days you eat around 500 calories and the other 5 days you eat at maintenance? Or are you still suppose to cut calories on the other 5 days? It's a bit confusing. Just want some opinions! Thanks!!
