Eat normally for 5 days, eat 500 cal per day for 2 days. The 2 days should not be consecutive. Some people eat anything they want for 5 days, some try to stick to below a ‘normal’ level (2000 cal for women) Hope that helps.

Hi maria44, you asked a question and have had two very good responses, here is another explanation/suggestion. Use a Sunday as your start point. Eat “normally on this day, your last meal being say no later than 7pm – 8pm. Go to bed. Monday is your first fast day. Use your 500 cals in any way you want, when you want. Dr Mosley, on his fast day eats his main meal around 7pm. Go to bed at your normal time. The next day, Tuesday, eat “normally”, again having your last meal in the evening time. Go to bed. Wednesday is now your 2nd fast day. Plan your 500 cals as you did on Monday. Eat the last meal when it suits you. Go to bed. The next day, Thursday, eat normally as you will the next four days. The following Monday, repeat the fasting process.
Once you fully understand then adjust/ change your fast days to fit in with your lifestyle.
Good Luck.
