What Is the 52 Diet Rule

Dieters are recommended to consume a ‘normal’ number of calories five days a week and then, for two, non-consecutive days, eat just 25% of their usual calorie total – 500 calories for women and 600 for men.

What can I eat on a 500 calorie fast day?

A typical 500-calorie fasting day might include oatmeal with fresh blueberries for breakfast, a tangerine for a snack, and a chicken and vegetable stir-fry for dinner. You will drink lots of water and may also have calorie-free beverages such as tea, coffee (no milk or sugar), and club soda.

What are the risks of the 5 2 diet?

  • difficulties sleeping.
  • bad breath (a known problem with low carbohydrate diets)
  • irritability.
  • anxiety.
  • dehydration.
  • daytime sleepiness.
