Hi guys! Today I'm going to talk about healthy eating. It's easy just to say eat at least 5 pieces of fruit and veg a day, an apple a day keeps the doctor away and all that! But there is so much more to it than that. It is impossible to keep a perfect balance between your fruit and veg, sweets, carbs etc etc. What is interesting is the new 5:2 diet, which allows you to eat whatever you want for 5 days of the week, but for the other two you can consume no more than 500 calories. A task I'm not quite sure I could manage! I, personally, have never tried it and have only heard and read about it but it is suppose to be a really healthy lifestyle change that will benefit your body according to what I am reading. My problem, I feel, would be finding low calorie meals and sticking to them! The temptation to have a yummy bag of crisps or a chocolate bar is just too much! The diet would require will power, and changing simple things like juice for water on fasting days. The internet is full of recipes styled to fit the low calorie fasting days of the 5:2 diet. There is an abundance of help and ideas from other people if you are interested and feel this is the diet for you! It looks like it's the next big thing and that it's good for you! It's simple to follow, and pretty low hassle. I have no doubt there are ways to make low calorie meals delicious and interesting! If you want more information or recipes, you literally just have to google '5:2 diet' and you will be amazed at the results you find. If this is the diet for you then good luck!
