Chapter 1 - The 5:2 Diet: An Overview

The revolutionary 5:2 diet, created in the UK, is also popular because it comes in two forms: the fast form and the feed form. In the 5:2 diet, a person is advised to choose two days each week to restricting caloric intake (600 calories for men and 500 calories for women). These two days, called the fast days, need not to be consecutive. The rest five days are called the feed days in which one can eat anything without restriction to type, quantity and nutritional quality.

Studies show that those who undergo this type of diet exhibited a significant decrease in the serum levels of triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and IGF 1—compounds that are closely associated with increased risk of many diseases, including cardiovascular ailments and some types of cancer.

The 5:2 Intermittent Fasting

Humans have had little time to evolve to modern-day conditions. The improvements in the field of technology and agriculture have extremely increased food supply. Ensuring that every person meets his daily caloric needs and protecting him from starvation, improving the person's survival rate and longevity. Ironically, however, the most well-fed nations in the world are those that are highly exposed to health conditions that are extremely fatal.

On August 2012, a British journalist Dr. Michael J. Mosley, documented the effect of fasting on a person's health through his documentary titled Eat, Fast and Live Longer which was an instant sensation and was viewed by more than 3 million people. In the said documentary, Dr. Mosley even participated by subjecting himself into a three-day, four-night fasting.

Although the tests conducted on his blood revealed a significant improvement in the levels of IGF-I, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol, which signifies a potential reduction in his risk for various diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and some forms of cancers, the levels returned to normal after a few days of shifting to the usual diet. Furthermore, he noticed that fasting is not a practical replacement to the normal diet and is apparently a difficult form of lifestyle. Upon conducting a research, he stumbled upon a more comfortable form of fasting called intermittent fasting. He then modified the said chosen caloric restriction diet to suit his needs. This resulted to the formulation of a five-day feast and two-day fast form of intermittent fasting. These new form of diet has become known as the fast diet, the 5:2 diet, and the Mosley Diet.

Numbers can be intimidating but fret not because 5:2 is as simple as the ratio of days an individual consumes his regular meals to the days the individual has to fast. The diet follows the concept of intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is the series of rotations between days or periods of fasting and days of non-fasting.

Fasting can be intimidating but one should not fear this term because the concepts behind the 5:2 diet are easy to apply. Fast is the usual term people use when they do not eat, or they choose to skip meals. In the 5:2 diet, fasting will be required but not the fasting that some usually do wherein they do not eat anything at all. The fasting that is required for the 5:2 diet would not require the absence of food but only limitating of calories to be acquired during the days of fasting.

Calorie is the unit used in computing the amount of energy a food will provide the body after consumption and digestion. A calorie is about 4.184 joules. Two pieces of white bread, for example, will provide around 100 kilocalories (kcal).

The average requirement of calories an individual is required to eat every day is around 2,000 calories for females and 2,400 calories for males. During the non-fasting days of the cycle or the 5 of the 5:2 diet, one can eat anything as long as he or she consumes the required daily average amount of calories. During the fasting days or the 2 of the 5:2 diet, females are to consume 500 calories while males are recommended to consume 600 calories. This is around 25% of the average recommended caloric requirement for the
