Well I've been here for a month, but MFP just let me start posting in the forums (some glitch when the new forums came online, I guess?) 34yr lady with 50lbs to lose. I'm trying out the 5-2 diet. Friends would be great!

    I've tried a lot of diets but never heard of the 5-2. I'm curious to know what it is too.

    Hi, We have a 5:2 group on the boards if you want to join a likeminded group.
    For those who don't know, it's a form of intermittent fasting where intake is restricted to 500 cals (600 for men) on 2 days per week and you eat at a maintenance level for the other 5 days. Some people restrict cals on the 5 foody days but it isn't necessary although you do need to be aware of the possibility of overeating! Works for me.
