Type 2 Further 5:2 diet question

It has suddenly occurred to me that the 2 diet days should be concurrent - previously I've picking 2 non concurrent days such as Tuesday and Friday?

If you are following Moseley then no he stated they definitely should not be concurrent but separated. I think that's because he thought that people couldn't do 2 consecutive days.. or maybe he thought that you could effect your metabolic rates by doing consecutive days. Both wrong in my opinion. A lot of the Dr Fung fasters reckon that 2-3 days fasting has the best impact on health and blood sugar. I usually get the lowest readings on the third or fourth day of a fast.
Hope that helps.

Yes, I am, and thanks I had forgotten he said that. Just read a post where someone said they did concurrent days ie over weekend and I thought maybe I got it wrong!
