[QUOTE="Kelsie, post: 497117, member: 89206"] Be careful with the 5:2 diet, the research behind it is still not very conclusive and although it can provide a quick fix, as soon as you have achieved the weight you want and eat normal again you can put on almost double the weight you lost! This is because the days you fast, your body is confused and wonders why it's not receiving it's nutrients so then when you eat normal again it stores everything as fat as a reserve in case it is starved again and it's a very vicious cycle!! I work in a gym and have had dealt with at least 12 people who have fainted/collapsed who follow the 5:2 diet due to not being able to cope on just 500 calories on the two days- it shuts down the body and it was very scary to watch! Some were saying that they were sapped of energy and felt very weak even when not incorporating a workout! Even without exercising, 500 calories is far far too little to cope with on a general day. I'm honestly not trying to lecture you at all, I just want to inform you of the scary things I've seen from this diet plan and make you aware :) the PT's and nutritionists at our gym really really advise against the diet plan because of it's such high risks and lack of clinically proven research providing long term benefits.
