I lost one and a half stone so far on the 5:2 diet and it gets easier once you are doing it.

On the 5:2 diet, you eat 500 calories (for women) and 600 calories (for men) on your fast days. At present, I do my fast days on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but you can do three fast days if you wish i.e. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The rest of the time you eat normally, but do not overdo it. I eat at least 1500 calories the rest of the time, so I make sure I am losing weight. It's an easy lifestyle diet that I recommend.

Foods to Eat on Fast Days

You can eat anything but you have to stick to 500 calories for women or 600 for men.

Here is a list of foods that I eat on fast days.

Food

Fruit - Bananas, Apples, Pears, Oranges, grapes, peaches, melon.

Eggs

Fish - white fish, salmon, tuna.

Chicken or any kind of meat, such as pork, lean beef or pork loin chops.

Cottage cheese

Low-fat cheeses like spreads

Vegetables - all kinds

Wholemeal bread is allowed, but make sure it is within the 500 calories.

Drinks

Drink water at least two liters per day if possible and you can mix this with green or Oolong tea. Coffee and English tea are allowed on fast days.

Feast Days

On feast days, you eat anything you want but within moderation. I stick to 1500 calories on feast days. Eating as healthy as I possibly can, which means I do not overdo it on sweet foods like cakes or chocolate. On feast days you can have a glass of red wine with dinner if you want but you must never overdo it. A maximum of two small glasses of red dry wine (ie. Merlot or Shiraz) is the maximum on feast days. Red wine is better as it is full of antioxidants.
