Is anyone trying this one. I can't remember the name of the Doctor who is doing it, but he has been on it for 6 months now and has had good results.
You eat normal for 5 days of the week. Choose any two days that you want to "diet" on these two days you are restricted to 500 calories.
The "experts" say that you should loose about 1lb on the diet days.
The Doctor says that the biggest benefit has been his mental state. He says that he is much clearer.
If you read up on it it's very interesting as to what happens to the brain.

petra There was an earlier thread about this called Horizon – intermittent fasting diet. There is also a thread about the forthcoming webchat with Michael Mosley. Thought you might like to know.

Hilarious!! A casualty of online translation perhaps? or dyslexia?
e.g. "The new 5:2 dating plan" !!!grin
Seriously, for a brilliant insight into the position of women in countries like Saudi and by extension UAE, (plus a gripping who dunnit each time) read Night of the Mi'raj, City of Veils and Kingdom of Strangers by Zoe Ferrarris Cannot recommend too highly.

There is also an active thread at the moment 'Why I love the 5;2 diet'
