5:2

[Rhizomorph13]

That diet sounds like it would play havoc with my cravings. I'm on the Ketogenic Diet and I could combine that diet with the 5:2 and would be fine. Once you get into ketosis you just don't need to eat, so skipping a meal or a few is no big deal. I've already lost 50 pounds then stopped dieting for a while because I wanted beer again. I'm back on it and am steadily losing although I would lose faster if I didn't push the metabolic pause button with whiskey and wine. The real problem is getting enough fat into your diet without also getting protein. Your macros should be 5% carb (Like by accident), 70% fat (holy shit!), and 25% Protein. You also have to be mindful of getting enough salt and water. I drink like a fish and eat pickles, smoked oysters, and sardines.
