5:2

[Madelyne Bonthron 128]

Can someone tell me what the 5:2 diet is? I read someone talking about it but have no idea whats it about

It is a fad diet which involves severe calorie restriction for two non-consecutive days a week and normal eating the other five days, which originated and became popular in the UK, and spread in Europe and to the USA. It is a form of intermittent fasting. Many people here swear by it. I'm not one of them, but to each their own. Hope that answers your question.

I would not call it a fad diet as much as an advance protocol for fat loss. Intermittent fasting has been around for some time. 5:2 is the latest iteration.
