  1. Hi all..
    The 5:2 diet was recommended nearly 1400+ years ago…suggestion was to fast Monday n Thursday…The person is the Prophet Muhammad ,peace be upon him..He did no study, no research, no labs, test tubes…
    Look it up..don,t just take my word…

  2. I have been doing the 5:2 diet for a couple of weeks, and have lost 7 pounds already. I find it has helped reduce my appetite on non-fasting days, which in turn also helps with weight loss!

  3. Due to health reason I have been practicing OMAD since Feb now in June lost a lot of weight but two diabetes glucose tests from my doctor surgery are high why ? I am worried now

  4. Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays

    Abu Qatada reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was asked about fasting Mondays and he said, “That is the day on which I was born and the day when I was sent – or when revelation descended on me.” [Muslim]

    Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Actions are presented on Mondays and Thursdays, so I like my actions to be presented while I am fasting.” [at-Tirmidhi]

    `A’isha said, “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to take care to fast on Mondays and Thursdays.” [at-Tirmidhi]

  5. this is a little irritating as I was doing the dukhan diet when the 5.2 came out and I was doing around 800 calories a day on that as I found it very manageable.
    But I knocked it on the head. I've recently gone on the 5.2 and found it even better. But now I'm not so sure lol.

  6. Well as they say, this is for fas and then ypu should swich over to forexampel 5:2. I am doing 5:2 and feel gret but think I might do 800 for maby 2 or 3 weeks and then go back to 5:2 or 5:1

  7. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DIET!!! CALORIES IN, ENERGY OUT. THE ONLY WAY THIS WON'T HARM YOU IS IF YOU'RE BEDRIDDEN. YOU CANNOT BURN MORE CALORIES THAN YOU TAKE IN EACH DAY OR YOUR BODY WILL GO AFTER YOUR MUSCLES AND ORGANS FOR THE ENERGY IT NEEDS! This doctor should be flogged!!!

  8. He steals the data and research form other scientists and puts it altogether to sell books, when did he become a qualified Doctor? Is he actually a Doctor of Medicine? Or a Doctor of English? This man is getting away with blue murder.

  9. Yeah this ain’t good! And how is he calling 800 calories fasting?! How about, eat a good amount of calories, low carb and intermittent fast? That would work better. As others have mentioned, just eating a very low calorie diet and 3 square meals a day is disaster! Your metabolism will plummet!

  10. Have a look at the biggest loser show, a huge calorie deficit, then the body slows metabolism, do this a few times and you may never get your metabolism humming along again. Quackery, and follow the money. He didn't invent I.F (intermittent fasting), we have fasted for all of our existence, until the last 60 to 80 years. Slow and steady move your breakfast an hour at a time, to increase the fasting length, water or black tea,or coffee, will help, and won't break a fast, but there have not been a lot of scientific studies on fasting, especially for fat loss. Here is some good free advice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li9aTbsZ9io. Try for yourself, don't trust your health to anyone else, but yourself.

  11. This diet BS is getting old! Mosley, everyone knows if you eat 800 cals you will lose weight but it is also proven that weight wise, it will cause metabolic adaptation and will create in the long term, more issues than the poor person started with. Shame on you Mosley!

  12. This is a no shit thing. If you're consuming 2000 calories daily, and then randomly consume 800 daily, you're gonna lose some weight. After you get off the diet, you'll go back to your shitty habits and gain it back and be confused as to why you've gained weight. The funny thing is that this isn't even realistic!

  13. I liked the 5:2. I did it for 8 months back in 2013 and lost about 40 pounds. I've kept that weight off ever since, as it seemed to somehow re-set my eating. I think the 5:2 is more do-able than 800 a day.
