Fasting is the fastest way to lose weight, but a drastic one. The 5:2 diet now makes it a viable option for everyone.
The promise: you can eat your favorite foods five days a week, as long as you limit your calorie intake to 500 calories the other two days. You can choose which two days are your fasting days. Because you always have to keep it up for a short time, it is easier for many people to keep it up.
Are you curious about the diet? You can read the first chapter in the December issue of Santé.
