The idea is to make your low days manageable. If your daily calories is 2100 then your low day will be 700. Which is more easier to stick to than having 500, because you won't be feeling as hungry. It's all about doing a eating plan that you would stick to. IMHO

I had done 5:2 diet plan a couple of years ago. I found it to be very effective but difficult to maintain over a long period of time. The way I calculated my low day calories was a third of my normal day calorific intake. Eg: Normal day = 1800 calories Low day = 1800÷3 = 600 calories
