Your response to this device over 5:2 was: “It is also far less messy”

I consider 5:2 as more of a discipline, where the device mentioned is a device to be depended upon .. Maybe for life.

It’s another option for some people.

Perhaps combining the 5:2 disciplined lifestyle with this device as a stopgap alternative will provide the desired results long term.

I was reminded from the article that ancient Romans would regurgitate their food after eating.

It just seems simpler & easier to not put the food inside in the first place.

However, I’m aware that each of us have different challenges with food & choose our path accordingly.
