I’m thinking of trying something like that. I tried a 30 day fast but, after five days, my wife who was out of town told me to start eating or she was coming back. She was afraid she would come home to a corpse.
Sadly, for two days I’d been in the “I’m no longer ever hungry” mode and actually lost 15 lbs. I had another 50 to go, but that is for another day. I’m considering a ten day fast. Gotta take mineral supplements, though.
But that 5:2 thing looks interesting. I’ll google it. I was thinking of trying 6:1.
Yeah google the 5:2. My description was pretty simplistic. You end up losing about 1-2 lbs a week. It’s a good long term option.
I went LCHF two years ago and have lost 1/3 of my bodyweight just from that. Then I plateaued so started the 5:2 and the fasting seems to have broken through the plateau as I am losing weight again.
