On 5 days of the week you eat normal meals, including nutrient dense, protein and fibre rich foods to optimise your health, but also foods that you enjoy to avoid excessive restriction that will often lead to diets stopping or even failing. Then on the other 2 days you reduce your energy intake to around 25% of your maintenance needs by consuming only micronutrient-rich juices and shots, and water to create a large energy deficit, which is critical to driving weight and fat loss.

The 5:2 diet creates an average energy deficit of 571 kcal per day, which drives weight and fat loss. But also allows the individual to eat more food, enjoy weekends and social events, include their favourite foods, a limit suffering to only 2 days per week.

There is limited research on the 5:2 diet, but intermittent fasting has been researched extensively. One major benefit appears to be how simple and easy these methods are to follow as opposed to continuous diet energy deficits. Research has conclusively shown that adherence or consistency is THE most important factor in any successful weight loss diet, meaning diets fail because you are inconsistent. 

Yes, we encourage you to drink as normal, aiming for between 2.5 and 3.0 L of water per day. Tea and coffee without added sugar, and with very small amounts of low fat milk is also acceptable.

On non-fasting days we encourage you to eat protein-rich, nutrient dense foods such as eggs, low fat Greek yogurt, chicken breast, turkey, sea bass, cod, prawns, salmon, beef fillet, beans and pulses, with vegetables and fruits, with small servings of whole grain carbohydrates such as brown rice, quinoa, whole grain bread, oats and potatoes. 

We have provided some meal templates and recipes in our support pack to better inform your food choices on the non-fasting days as your success in weight loss is dependent on making good choices here.

We aim to provide you with the tools and knowledge necessary to lose weight and keep it off long term. We promote food freedom, with no restrictive rule book beyond the specified fasting days, you can eat your favourite foods in moderation and still progress. We not only provide the highest quality, fresh, cold-pressed juices and shots, but also recommendations on the specific meals you should eat to turn this programme into a sustainable lifestyle.
