The Fast Diet: The Secret Of Intermittent Fasting � Lose Weight, Stay Healthy, Live Longer - Plot & Excerpts
But what happens when you step out of the laboratory and into real life? When and what you eat during your ‘fast’ is critical to the diet’s success. So what’s the optimal pattern? Michael tried several different fasting regimes; the one he settled on as the most realistic and sustainable is a fast on two non-consecutive days each week, allowing 600 calories a day, split between breakfast and dinner. This pattern has been called, for obvious reasons, a 5:2 diet – five days off, two days on, which means that the majority of your time is spent gloriously free from calorie-counting. On a fast day, he’ll normally have breakfast with the family at around 7.30am and then aim to have dinner with them at 7.30pm, with nothing eaten in between. That way, he gets two 12-hour fasts in a day, and a happy family at the end of it. The menu suggestions of pages 139-161 are based on this pattern as it is, in his experience, the most straightforward and convincing Intermittent Fasting method.
