      The 5:2 Diet For Beginners - David Ortner

      1. Introduction

      THE 5:2 DIET IS A UNIQUE and effective intermittent fasting plan that lets you have your cake and eat it too. Intermittent fasting is a new health and weight loss sensation that, thanks to its incredible success and myriad of health benefits, has skyrocketed in popularity in the last several years.  Current research is beginning to shed light on the wide-ranging benefits of intermittent fasting—things like greater metabolic efficiency, improved glycemic control, improved brain function, increased fat burning, increased energy, prevention of life-threatening disease, and increased life span.

      The premise behind the 5:2 diet is very simple: participants eat normally for five days and restrict caloric intake to 500 calories (for women) or 600 calories (for men) on the other two, non-consecutive, days. The silver lining of this program, of course, is that you’ll have guilt-free freedom in your choice of food for five days of the week, all while enjoying the benefits of a wildly successful diet program. And therein lies the appeal of the 5:2 diet. Rather than limiting calories or restricting foods all of the time, you have the comfort of knowing that, on certain days, you can eat without remorse or paranoia. You therefore feel more optimistic and relaxed and are more likely to stick with the diet.

      I am not on a permanent 5:2 schedule, although I know some people who are and who really enjoy it. Instead, I use the program to lose weight quickly when needed and also when my body begins to feel a little sluggish and off-balance. You should do whatever works for you. Before you decide, though, let’s take a deeper look at some of the benefits of intermittent fasting, and the 5:2 diet specifically.

      It really works. Everyone knows that caloric restriction is one of the main factors of weight loss. When you fast (or cut back drastically on calorie intake), it becomes infinitely easier to reduce your overall caloric intake and, consequently, drop unwanted pounds. In fact, it just sort of happens naturally. Fasting gives your body a chance to lose weight because you’re simply eating less.

      It simplifies your day. Many of my non-fasting days revolve around food. I spend a couple of hours preparing my meals and snacks for the day and even more time thinking about my hunger, planning when to eat my meals, stopping what I’m doing to eat, and then
