Hopetobeslim777, you could just stay on the BSD800. That is what a few of us have done who have not lost the amount we aimed for, or who have a lot to lose so can’t do it in only 8 weeks. Hopefully someone else can help you with your calories for the 5:2. I thought it was only 500 calls on the two days though.

The BSD has its own version of 5:2 with 800 calories on the two fast days. This is helpful because after 8 weeks of them we have all sorted out the best way personally for us to be happy on 800. I did it the other way around, started on 5:2, then 4:3 with three fast days, then 2:5 with all weekdays as fast days before starting 800 for 8 weeks. All of these variations can be used to shed more weight.
