@jsl_mfp It's just 1 link, and they've just summarised what Michael Mosley ended up doing in the end which is split-meals non-consecutive days. Like others, I am not sure which is better, doing a longer fast of consecutive days or doing intermittent 2 day fasts. Maybe 2 bursts of fasting is better cumulatively whereas…

You mean I could not due to the calorie restriction? Because I can eat A LOT of prawns and exceed the protein RDA and still be within my calorie limit. Okay, agreed on this: the RDA for protein is what should be considered a "reduction" in our daily diets since we do indeed eat more of it. I never used to think about it,…

I'm actually on a 5/2 regimen. Second week now, day #1 done. I am 77kg, so that's 62g of protein per day. I wish the programme made that clearer because before all this protein-reduction advice, everyone used to say "eat protein" and the common opinion was that there isn't enough protein in our normal diets, yet the…

I wonder if reducing protein during feed-days, but eating normal quantities of protein during fast days would be better since there is a bigger overall protein reduction. The reason is it's easier to survive on protein foods on fast days. :/

Haven't tried milk yet, sounds good I guess... Just wanted to mention...I think you might want to cut down on protein there since, if I understood correctly, that was the point of the fast, to reduce IGH-1 hormone production by reducing protein intake. Other potential benefits as demonstrated on mice with Alzheimers might…
