5:2 Diet

nicolie81587

Has anybody tried the 5:2 diet? I've thought about it, but I obviously don't want to go into starvation mode and hurt my weight loss efforts. I did a weekend fast earlier this year and I felt better after it. Does anybody have an advice on this? Also, if you do the 5:2, have you been counting calories on the 5 days?

Feel free to also add me if you'd like. Thank you!

There's a lot of people on here that do 5:2. Here are two groups that you can join to get lots of help and support:

It's impossible to go into starvation mode eating 500 calories, two days a week. It's a form of Intermittent Fasting.
