Hi – new to discussions. Am on 5:2 diet for two weeks so far cause it seemed easy to do – have fasted in past and like it! Haven’t weighed myself yet.

Anyway, I think my previous diet plateaued since metabolism adjusts when your body thinks it is being restricted – or at least that is the theory some experts hold.

I don’t remember anything in the book about keeping metabolism up but I suspect eating well on the off days does this trick?

Thanks
