5:2 intermittent fasting is not a diet – 5:2 is a new way of life.
There is no time like the present to make a change for better health

5:2 intermittent fasting is based around the scientific research conducted by Michael Mosley for a documentary back in 2012.

The basic idea around 5:2 is that you eat normal balanced diet (TDEE) 5 days a week and then 2 days a week you restrict your food intake to a quarter of your normal daily intake (TDEE). This usually equates to approx 2000/500 for women and 2400/600 for men.

You spread your calories out however suits you. Everyone is different. 1, 2 or 3 meals a day, it’s up to you. It will take a few weeks for you to find your groove. The first few weeks is just practice to find what works for you.

Your meals on non fast days will change automatically without trying, just focus on the 2 fast days, and the rest will follow.

You can work out your exact TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) if you want an exact number as it will change as you lose weight. The best way to work out your TDEE is to use the online TDEE calculator.

There is no time like the present to start on your journey of the 5:2 Fast Diet way of life.
