I do enjoy food
If I fast for two days a week I can eat like a fucking pig the rest of the time. That's the dream, baby.

How do you fast?
and don't just say "don't eat"
(PsychoChomp, Mon 3 Sep 2012, 11:08, Reply)

a day with 600 calories for men
weetabix in the morning, apple for lunch, chicken breast and peas this evening for me. Lots of water.

To be honest I don't know if I can hack it, but it seems worth a try given the benefits. www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19112549

That is the biggest most spastic lump of utter fucking shite since Racelswipe last wrote on this board.

Yeah, those scientists, eh? What do they know?

I must agree with Mr Badger here.
What a stupid way to eat.

What's wrong with smaller portions and no snacks?
And, you know...a bit of exercise? Even a brisk 30 minute stroll every day will make a difference over time.

Exercise? Smaller portions, and cut down on snacking?
My God, you'll be advocating limiting the Doners and Curly Wurlies next.

Look, I'm not saying it's not radical
But it's worth a try, right?

Well, in the case of what you're trying, absolutely fuck all since they've not done any trials whatsoever
the 5:2 idea is entirely based on conjecture with no evidence to support it.

Also, that is almost to the letter a perfect example of a "science" article that contains no fucking science at all
Where is the evidence of peer reviewed published articles? There is only one "scientist" mentioned and no details of how they are qualified, the article starts by talking about fasting then immediately jumps to talking about growth hormone.

Seriously, it couldn't be more wishy washy if it was written by Gillian McKeith in a fucking laundry.

Whenever The Sun publishes "scientific" stuff,
it's always "boffins" who come up with the facts. This sounds on a par with that nonsense.

Hi Doctor Nick!
Y'know, from that programme.
( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Mon 3 Sep 2012, 11:29, Reply)

it's not exactly clear cut,
there are some hilarious inconsistencies between studies that should be quite similar. Many of the early studies of mice and primates frequently used to justify this compared calorie restricted animals to animals free to eat as much feed as possible rather than a set higher number of calories, and those feeds were garbage as they assumed calories ar calories whatever is in there.

I wouldn't base my life around something on the bbc website, considering how many other science articles on there are just nonsense

Meh
I can certainly benefit from being more aware of what I eat. I'm giving it a go, I shall see what it does for me.

I guess you could do it as LARP diet and go to asda once a week wearing only a dirty loin cloth and a spear

Asda? You pleb

I walk to and from work
so usually pop in for about £15 worth two or three times a week on the way home. Never got the hang of the "weekly shop".

I know someone who does a big cook on a Sunday and a Wednesday their meals for the entire week as that way they can e.g. cook a load of mince and then make chili and bolognese and curry without having a pack of greying meat sitting in the fridge. Way too organised for me though.
