### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast Diet, Fast Results!
*by S***S on August 22, 2013*

The concept of intermittent fasting is fairly simple. It is a pattern of eating that alternates between periods of eating normally and fasting. "The 5:2 Fast Diet for Beginners" will allow you to eat normally for five days (this consists of a healthy diet within your caloric guidelines) and then two days of fasting (on these fasting days the dieter is allowed a restricted 500 calories a day for women and 600 calories a day for men). The advantage to this is that there is never a total "fast" at all, so one should never be deprived or at risk for some of the physical inconveniences that comes along with a total fast.This is an extremely simple and direct plan to lose the weight that you have been trying to lose and ride the upside of the success as you go. There are literally hundreds of delicious and healthy recipes detailed in the book, most of which are 250 calories or less for fasting days. The non-fasting days does not allow the dieter a "free for all" for gluttony, but encourages eating a wide variety of fruit and vegetables, proteins, nuts & seeds, healthy oils and limited amounts of sugars.The 5:2 Fast Diet Book - a must have, is packed with a busload of tips, science and recipes that will make your weight loss journey easier and help you join the revolution to lose weight, boost your brain and transform your body. Unlike many other diets, the 5:2 Diet is welcomed as long term alternative to traditional eating, to encourage weigh stability and overall better health. The premise of the book is not to make readers believe that the diet is a quick fix in order to look thin, but rather an entire lifestyle change to grow with throughout the years.Granted, this diet is an excellent resource for those who are considered healthy and would like to lose some excess weight, it is not advised for women who are pregnant or nursing, those with type-2 diabetes or those under 18 years of age. This book is a must have if you are attempting to reach your weight loss goals!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well-written, straightforward guide
*by M***S on August 14, 2013*

It's tough going on a diet. Lots of rules and regulations, things to remember, complicated plans. The beauty of the 5:2 Fast Diet is in its elegance, and this book helps even more by simplifying the process of the diet. In just 92 pages, the book explains in a straightforward manner the reasons behind the diet (it's not really "fasting" but a major reduction in caloric intake two days out of the week), the nutritional and healthful value of the diet and the science behind it. The recipes (for both the "fasting" and "non-fasting" days) are scrumptious and easy to prepare. I especially liked the "10 Tips for Motivation & Success" (one important tip: try to understand and change the activities that "trigger" eating, such as snacking when watching TV). This is a realistic, well-written -- and easy on the eye -- book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Helpful
*by L***5 on May 14, 2013*

The 5 2 Fast Diet For Beginners is a short, concise book that presents the 5 2 Diet in a manner that is both easy to read and easy to follow. There are two main components to the book, each of which is a vital resource to successfully following the diet.The first half of the book is full of information about the diet itself. The 5 2 Diet follows the Intermittent Fasting approach to dieting, allowing you to eat a normal, healthy amount of food five days a week, while you spend the other two days consuming less food: 500 calories for women or 600 for men. This section of the book walks the reader through one month of the plan, and offers tips for success and guidelines for exercise.The second half of the book, just as helpful as the first, is filled with recipes and a month-long meal plan. While the recipes for meals on non-fasting days are very helpful for maintaining healthy eating habits, the recipes provided for fasting days are an invaluable resource, removing any difficulty in following the plan.Full of helpful tips and easy recipes, this book is a helpful guide to a very effective diet.
