    Are you interested in an effective diet plan that will help you lose weight and improve your health, whilst still allowing you to eat all of the foods that you love?  What about a diet plan when you just need to focus your effort into just two days a week, leaving you relaxed and free to eat well on the remaining five days?

    • only need to maintain self-control in short bursts
    • don’t get bored as within 24 hrs you can eat whatever tickles your taste buds!

    Packed full of flavourful, natural, healthy ingredients, these delicious diet recipes won't leave you feeling hungry or unsatisfied after eating.
    This book provides all the information that you need to understand how this diet works, who it is suitable for and, importantly, who it is not suitable for.  There is a chapter on what to do on your diet days and also how to eat healthily on your non-diet days.
    You will also find:
    • Example Day Menu Planners
    • 5 Top Tips For Stress-Free Diet Days
    • 8 Really Handy Kitchenware Items
    The recipes provided are Complete Meal Calorie-Counted Recipes ie if you need to serve the recipe with crispbreads, or vegetables or rice etc, these have been taken into account in the calorie count, so no nasty surprises. Every recipe also provides gives a comprehensive Per Serving Calorie Count of each ingredient included, so if an ingredient is not to hand; or just not to your taste, you can simply adjust the recipe to suit your needs.
    The recipe measurements are in both American & Metric, and the ingredient names are listed in both the American and UK terms, where they differ.
    Recipes mainly serve 1 or 2 people, perfect for solo dieters or couples dieting together, but very easily scalable to serve more if required.

      Introduction

      Are you interested in a diet plan which offers an effective plan that will help you lose weight and improve your health, whilst still allowing you to eat all of the foods that you love? What about a diet plan when you just need to focus your effort into just two days a week, leaving you relaxed and free to eat well on the remaining five days? Does this sound to good to be true? Have you previously started a new diet plan only to end up disappointed, discouraged and feeling as though you have failed?

      If you are reading this cookbook, it is likely that have heard of the 5:2 diet, also known as the Two-Day Diet and also the Fast Diet. Following a UK documentary TV programme first broadcast in 2012, it has become one of the most popular and widely followed diet regimes. This book will explain:

      what has made the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan so successful

      whether following the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan can lead to weight loss

      whether the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan is a healthy diet plan

      who it may suit and who it is definitely not suitable for

      what to eat on the diet days on the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan

      what to eat on the non-diet days on the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan.

      As well as providing all the information that you need to start following the 5:2 Fast Diet Plan, you will find a mouth-watering selection of easy, tasty recipes to help make your diet days successful.

      What Has Made the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan So Successful?

      There are a number for reasons for this.

      1. It’s Simple

      Firstly, the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan is a simple concept that is extremely easy to follow, as you just diet on a two days a week and then eat normally (but healthily) on the remaining 5 days.

      2. It’s Convenient & Practical

      The Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan is a very convenient diet plan to follow even if you normally struggle to incorporate dieting into your lifestyle, perhaps because you work shifts, or travel on business, for example.

      You can vary the two days that you diet to suit your schedule in any given week

      You are able to eat out, socialise, visit with friends and family – all without having to worry about what to eat

      Your diet day is a 24 hr period, you can start it whenever you like, for example, in line with a shift working pattern

      Often we can eat for emotional reasons, if you are having a bad or stressful day that’s making you struggle, just swap your diet day in that week.

      3. You don’t Get Bored

      The Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan also suits anyone who has struggled to maintain their will-power or become very bored of the routine when dieting over a sustained period of time. With the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan, as you diet for just two (non-consecutive) days a week, you:

      only need to maintain will-power in short bursts

      don’t get bored as within 24 hrs you can eat whatever tickles your taste buds!

      Furthermore, the recipes in this cookbook provide a wide and varied selection of dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner that really will help keep boredom at bay on your diet days.

      4. It’s Not Expensive

      In fact, on the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan you will probably find that you reduce your weekly grocery spend, as for 2 days out of the week (that’s just over 25%) you will be eating much less food. By following the recipes in this cookbook, the food that you do eat is made from fresh and largely inexpensive ingredients. Even if you choose a recipe that includes an ingredient that is more premium in price, you need such a small quantity, the meal will still be relatively economical to eat.

      5. Nothing’s Banned

      Often, when you are told that you cannot eat something, it becomes the one thing that you crave and over time, it becomes increasingly hard to avoid giving into temptation. On the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan, you are, at most, just 24 hours away from being able to eat what you crave.

      6. No Specific Food is Compulsory

      This is not a faddy diet, you don’t have to eat any specific foods on your two-diet days.

      Is the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan Healthy and is it Suitable for Everyone?

      There have been several scientific research studies which have found that there can be wider health benefits to be gained from a healthy eating plan that incorporates intermittent fasting. Studies have found a correlation between intermittent fasting and lowered blood pressure, lowered cholesterol levels and improvements in insulin sensitivity (Nutrition & Metabolism 2012, Proceedings of the Nutrition Society 2012).

      Nevertheless, you should always consult your doctor before commencing any new diet or exercise regime and that includes this plan. In particular, fasting is not suitable for everyone so the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan is not suitable for some people, and particularly it is not appropriate for:

      anyone who is pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breast-feeding

      anyone with a major health condition such as diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome

      anyone who has had an eating disorder.

      Does Following the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan Lead to Weight Loss?

      The Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan works as, within a week as a whole, you consume fewer calories than your body needs to maintain your current weight. This occurs when you combine:

      5 days of eating normally but healthily

      with

      2 days of restricted calorie intake.

      This weekly calorie deficit leads to weight-loss, as long as you don’t treat it as a license to binge on the non-diet days. What’s more, once you have lost weight, you can really easily maintain that loss by moving onto a 6:1 regime, meaning that instead of fasting for 2 days a week, you reduce this to just 1 day a week.

      A scientific study published in 2010 (Int J Obes (Lond))
