5:2 worked for me. It helped me rediscover true physical hunger & fullness signals so I was able to eat sensibly on my non-fasting days and rarely felt like snacking. Essentially I combined 5:2 and NoS and went from BMI 36 to 19. I've kept the weight off for a year now. It's not for everyone but it ...

wosnes, my method of 5:2 is like ESE: 1 single meal (at night) in a single 24 hour period, twice a week. 5:2 is the British version of ESE I think but Dr Mosley thought that some people would stick to it more if they knew they could spread out their 500 calories across two or more meals. That doesn'...
