    I am wanting to try this. Monday and Thursday are my low calorie days of c500.

    I can't comment on the results, but heard and seen good positive reports.

    Best of luck.

    Its my first time dieting and I hate restricting food! lol But the diet Im gona follow is called if it fits your macros (IIFYM) some of the pros use it to both bulk up or cut. Main idea is to eat a gram of protein per lb, 0.45 grams of fat per lb, and the rest carbs. And the thing is to be in a caloric defecit while meeting these goals. I find it easy to do so thats why im doing it.

    There is a 5:2 group on MFP. Search for that group for more information
