The 5:2 Diet ─ Feast for 5 Days, Fast for 2 Days to Lose Weight and Revitalize Your Health

THE REVOLUTIONARY NEW DIET THAT UTILIZES THE PROVEN APPROACH OF INTERMITTENT FASTING TO ACHIEVE A SLIMMER BODY

Kate Harrison has a family history of cancer and diabetes and had been a yo-yo dieter for more than twenty-five years. Then she discovered intermittent fasting and its amazing secret for easy and sustained weight loss. In The 5:2 Diet she uses her experience as a journalist, researcher, and BBC producer to clearly and concisely present all the medical research on this breakthrough diet. It seems too easy to be true, but studies show that following this book’s program, limiting caloric intake to 500 calories for two days a week, allows one to lose weight at a healthy rate and keep it off even while eating a standard diet on the other five days of the week.

Approachable and motivational, The 5:2 Diet is full of helpful suggestions from the author as well as the success stories of people who have followed the plan. Specialists believe this new diet, in addition to awesome weight-loss results, can potentially fight the onset of cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and more because it gives the body time to rest and repair itself at the cellular level.

Before becoming an acclaimed diet book author and novelist, Kate Harrison worked for a news agency, reporting mainly for the national tabloids. She then moved to the BBC where she was a reporter and producer for investigative/consumer shows and documentaries. Kate is the author of eight novels, including the Secret Shopper series (Orion), and, most recently, The Boot Camp (Orion 2012). She has written for national newspapers and magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, the Telegraph and Mail on Sunday.
