I started this a few days ago. My first 500 cal day went ok. Today is my second low cal day and it's going pretty well. I'm finding very low cal foods and eating on my normal schedule.

    500 calories a day seems very very low. You do not want to cut weight too hard, or you can end up sick. Please please make sure you are eating enough, maybe go to iifym.com/iifym-calculator to find how much you should be eating. Good luck!

    Yeah, I get that that is a school of thought. 5:2 is an intermittent fast plan. You "fast" two days a week and eat normally for the other 5. I pick say Tues and Sun to fast, but it's not a pure fast, just reduced intake. Thanks for the link though.
