What do people eat 5:2

3 Replies

I know the basic's of it but I was just wondering what people generally tend to consume on the Low calorie days as I am trying to plan my attack.

Also do you find it harder if you have to cook meals for your family on those days also?

Kate Harrison has published a couple of good 5:2 recipe books or the Hairy Dieters ones are excellent if you're cooking for a family. I live on my own so I find it's easier to just get ready meals for those two days so I don't have to faff around counting calories. The M&S Count on Us ones are excellent and very tasty and I have a steam pack of vegetables with them. I only have the one meal in the evening and just have drinks before then.
