Hi
I am approaching the end of my 3rd week on the 800 per week phase. Ready to move to 5:2 phase. How long is this phase? Is it a personal thing? I know the 800-calorie phase is recommended for 2-12 weeks. Is there any such recommendation for the 5:2 phase?
Thank you
Dean

Dean I’m under the impression that 5:2 is a maintenance phase so guess you can follow it in the long term

Hi Verano and thank you. Thats what I sort of figured but just wasn’t sure. I’m going to give it 3 weeks and see how it goes and how I feel. Thanks again.
