Contains Over 100 Delicious Recipes for the 5:2 Diet with Illustrations
This cookbook contains all the meals you will ever need to follow the 5:2 Diet and to help you lose at least 3-5 lbs or more every week.

There are over a 100 easy to cook and delicious recipes that will make your fasting days easier to manage rather than to dread. They include breakfasts, easy lunches and some mouthwatering dinners.

AUTHOR
Introduction
Losing weight can be difficult, and knowing which diet to follow can be even harder. This book will help you use the 5:2 Fast Diet or 2 Day Diet to achieve your weight loss targets.
Although it is fast becoming the most popular diet to help you lose weight, there are still only a few recipe books that have menus that are quick to make and don't use expensive ingredients. Until now!
All recipes are low calorie and healthy and make use of the basics in your home and your local stores. This cookbook is part of a series for the 5:2 Diet and also has enough varied and interesting breakfast recipes for those that need them on their fasting days.
I hope you enjoy my recipes and appreciate the benefit of having food that is quick and easy to prepare as well as watching the weight melt away. Most of the recipes included will also suit the non-dieters in your family, just add potatoes or pasta or even crusty bread for them.
The recipes are listed alphabetically and there is also a handy index at the back of the book with the calorie count next to it. You can easily calculate the number of calories you have remaining, and cook the meal you fancy with the relevant count. This will let you switch your meals without going over your daily allowance.
Above all else, enjoy your food and the process of cooking it. You are only dieting for two days a week, so it is not necessary to stress yourself about it. However, you will find that over time, you will start noticing labels and calories much more than you used to.

The 5:2 Fast Diet
The 5:2 Fast Diet or Intermittent Diet are names given to a popular way of losing weight, so called because generally speaking you can eat as you would normally on five days a week but on the other two days, known as fasting days you must restrict your food and drink intake to only 500 calories if you are female or 600 calories if you are a male. This is regardless of your current weight or how much you need to lose.
The inventor of the diet Dr Michael Mosley has written an excellent book on it and if you are also interested in losing weight more quickly you could try other forms of fasting which are covered in my book Fasting Your Way to Health
It doesn’t matter which days you choose to feed or fast but it is recommended that the fasting days are not done together. Depending on the speed you wish to lose the weight you could adjust the ratio of fasting to feeding days. For example you could try a 6:1 or 5:2 or 4:3 and so on. When you have reached your ideal weight perhaps then is the time to only fast for one day a week to maintain your target weight, but for now let's assume you have a goal to reach, so we will a look at the normal 5:2 diet in more depth.
On fasting days you can elect to consume all of your calories in one go, or more usual to spread them throughout the day. Breakfast can either be a really low calorie count which means you can probably have a light lunch as well or you can skip it altogether. I found skipping breakfast worked better for me as it didn't kick start my juices first thing and I had no problem lasting until midday lunch. I quite often forgot all about food and went to 1 or 2 o’clock before I realised I was getting hungry. I don't think I could eat breakfast and then have nothing until my evening meal unless I was seriously fasting, meaning I was going without all food for that day.
There is varying opinion on whether filling up at breakfast or snacking throughout the day is more effective for weight loss. You will find your own preferred method, I tried both and found that splitting my calories between lunch and dinner worked better for me but then I can manage to skip breakfast but you may not be able to.
Drink water, tea or coffee to fill your empty stomach but no sugar and watch your milk intake or you will be eating into your calories. But please don't worry about going over the 500 calories by a little bit because when you do follow this eating plan you will be amazed at how you start to look at everything you eat on your 'normal' days and will in fact eat less anyway.
You could try fizzy water or diet soda and some people have suggested chewing sugar free gum although I found that made me hungry.
On your five normal days you can eat whatever you like within reason. This is not carte blanch to load your system with unhealthy take away's or junk food. What you will find is that you are looking at packaging much more than you used to. You will be shocked at the amount of calories in one chocolate biscuit, I know I was. If you think about the calories in that one biscuit and then think of the percentage that biscuit is of your 500 or 600 calorie allowance on your fasting days you quickly come to appreciate why that weight gain crept up on you in the first place.
Remember if the hunger pangs become too much, do something active like going for a walk. You can drink as much water as you like and this will fill you up too. Try a little honey or lemon juice in a glass of warm water, you will soon feel full until your meal is due. If you are doing this with your partner, don’t forget to factor in an additional 100 calories if you or your partner is male.
If you are worried about the long term effects on your body, contrary to what some people think, fasting can be a healthy way to lose weight. It can reduce levels of IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1, which can lead to accelerated aging). It can also ‘switch’ on DNA repair genes as well as reducing blood pressure and lowering cholesterol and glucose levels.
A word of warning, it is not recommended for pregnant women or diabetics on medication. In fact anyone who has health problems or has an existing medical condition is strongly advised to consult their GP first. This is not to say you can't follow this diet, it is just so it can be done under medical advice or supervision.
Finally, keep going by thinking to yourself that this is only for 2 days a week, you are not on a full blown 7 days a week diet for weeks on end or in some cases what seems forever.
Well that’s all there is to it, well almost.
Finally, as previously mentioned, if you are interested in other methods of fasting, I do cover this in my book on losing weight through fasting called, Fasting Your Way to Health.
Fast the Healthy Way
So, how do you fast the healthy way?
Prepare in advance. When you have come to the decision to start any type of fast or diet, do not act on the spur of the moment, it will work much better if you have done your preparation beforehand. Make sure you know what appointments or events are likely to happen before, during and after your fast. You don't want to plan one of your fasting days only to find you had forgotten you were having lunch with your best friend or had booked a game of golf. If you don’t skimp on the preparation time, your fasting day will most likely
