It's simple, and most generalize it in the following, truncated way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo non-consecutive days are required to fast. Fasting consists of eating very little, about 600 calories (500 for women) and that's it. The goal is to eat highly nutritional foods, however, and not just 2 candy bars and call it a day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe other 5 days, you can eat a healthy diet. This is not fasting in the traditional sense, and you have to plan out 2 of your 7 days per week. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking the 5:2 Plan Work For You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe absolute first step in any fitness regimen that you ever want to succeed with is simple, set a realistic goal. If you say that you want to lose 100 pounds in 10 days, you won't make it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThink long and hard about this, because if you don't meet your goal, you may find yourself depressed and will most likely want to throw in the towel. This happens a lot, and that's not the purpose of this lifestyle change. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA realistic goal may be 10 pounds. That's 1 pound a day, and that may help you. Some may want more than that, which is fine. Only you can truly know what your body weight is at and where you want to be. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo kick start things, try to be realistic and modest, and then after the initial starting point go big and don't worry about numbers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Days Later....\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you can make it through 10 days, you should have no problem with the rest. However, your first few attempts at fasting will be tough. Don't give up if it seems like you have insurmountable odds against you, because you don't really have that. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the plan is hard at first, but in time, it will be far easier. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly you can truly influence and motivate yourself. Whatever you need to do to get through the first 10 days, do it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSometimes it's a battle of will, and sometimes it's not so hard. Whatever you finally decide doing, make sure that you keep in mind that you are the ultimate control factor. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Sections of the Book\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Benefits\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTips For Success In The First 10 Days\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThings To Avoid In The First 10 Days\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDownload Your Copy Today! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTags: 5:2 Diet, 5 2 fast diet, fast diet\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054829846768,"sku":"9781495407468","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781495407468_p0.jpg?v=1763666281","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781495407468","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
