The 5:2 Diet Recipe Book - Fab Feasts for Fast Day Cookbook
The 5:2 Diet, sometimes called Intermittent Fasting or Fast Day Dieting has become an extremely popular as a way to both lose weight and improve your overall health. And instead of having to stick to strict diet regime day-after-day, on the 5:2 diet you simply “fast” on 2 non-consecutive days per week. For the remaining 5 days, you eat healthily but normally, with no calorie counting on those days!
No calorie counting is great on the 5 days per week of normal healthy eating but are you struggling to find tasty meals that keep you feel full on your Fast Days? This is where The 5:2 Diet Recipe Cookbook - Fabulous Feasts for Fast Days comes in.
You will be able to eat Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner on your Fast Days, keeping hunger (and boredom) at bay, with delicious recipe ideas such as:
• New Yorker Deli Breakfast Slice
• “Full English Breakfast” Frittata
• Crunchy Sesame Duck & Orange Salad
• Grilled Ruben Sandwich
• Indonesian Chicken with Asian Slaw
• Turkey Pot Pie
You will also find:
• Example Day Menu Planners
• 5 Top Tips For Stress-Free Fast Days
• 7 Really Useful Fast Day Bits of Kitchen Kit
• Fast Day Store Cupboard Essential
The recipes provided are Complete Meal Calorie-Counted Recipes ie if you need to serve the recipe with crispbreads, or vegetables or rice etc, these have been taken into account in the calorie count, so no nasty surprises. Breakfast options include under 100 calories, 150 calories and 200 calories. You will find Lunch choices at under 150 calories and under 200 calories. For Dinner, choose from recipes under 200 calories and under 300 calories.
The recipes are provided in both American & Metric Measurements, and the Ingredients are listed given using both the American and UK terms, where they differ.
Vegetarian Options included for most recipes.
Every Recipe gives a complete Per Serving Calorie Count of every ingredient included, so if an ingredient is not to hand; or just not to your taste, you can simply adjust the recipe to suit your needs.
Recipes mainly serve 1 or 2 people, perfect for solo dieters or couples dieting together, but very easily scalable to serve more if required.

Good 5:2 Resource
While the recipes didn't quite appeal to me much, the book overall is a great quick resource about the 5:2 diet and how to eat on your fasting days.
