This is the conclusion of an article by the NHS.

"Compared to other types of weight loss programmes the evidence base of the safety and effectiveness of the 5:2 diet is limited.

If you are considering it then you should first talk to your GP to see if it is suitable for you. Not everyone can safely fast."

Perhaps this should be mentioned in the GN article.
