I've been doing 5:2 style diet since March. I absolutely love it. Going through the day not eating is relatively easy for me, and for the rest of the week I don't have to care what, when or how much I eat. So far I lost about 5kg.

+1 for 5:2, been on it all this year. Feels good to assert some discipline around eating, toughens up body and mind. Plus I'm now 6 months older than I was to start with, which proves that it extends life, right?

What 5:2 stands for: 2 days of fasting per week? If so, what days do you fast at?

You can pick any 2 non-consecutive days, and they aren't actually full fast days. You just limit to 500-600 calories on those days.
