The 5/2 diet

lifemask

Hi,
I have just joined the site and am following the 5/2, or fast, diet. Is anyone else following this diet which seems really easy to follow?

Hi,

My friend did it last year after getting stuck on Scottish Slimmers. She lost 2 stone in a short time. She has also managed to maintain over XMas.

She trains about 2/3 times a week and unlike me doesn't go 'mad' on her 'normal' eating days. So it does work.

She planned her fasting days for non-gym/less active days and found a Monday was good for helping to get over any weekend damage.

Good luck!

I just posted an article about this yesterday! I never tried it but it seems like it would work, although a little extreme, don't ya think?
