The 5:2 Diet

The 5:2 diet, otherwise known as the fast diet, is so called because it advocates something known as 'intermittent fasting,' where one restricts their calorie intake to a quarter of the usual amount, but only on two non-consecutive days per week.

You can also buy the book, The Fast Diet by Michael Mosley & Mimi Spencer, from Amazon. There are other books available on the subject too, including recipe ideas for those who want inspiration for what to cook on a fast day.
