Sort of a timely video seeing that we are in the middle of Ramadan.

But I think the people will find this documentary somewhat interesting …

Jst saw it on I player. Was very interesting.
i think for us any weight benefits of fast are cancelled by the crap v eat in Iftar. All the oily stuff. Yuck

I am gna give the 5:2 a try once ramazan is over.

If you do ... Then perhaps you can do it on the basis of Monday and Thursday with the intention of observing Sunnah ... Then you get double benefit ... :)

Cool thanks psyah. Did the prophet fast on these days? What's the significance?

Thanks Psyah! This was really informative. I do detox fasting once every month but now I will try the 5:2 method.

My friends started this diet before this program aired and they have lost loads of weight! They do alternate fasting - so one day they will eat 2000 calories and the next they will eat ONLY 500. They do 4 UP days (2000cals each) and 3 DOWN days (500cals each) a week and they are losing weight every week! This type of diet as soo many health benefits too, it's amazing. Anyone with a weight problem should try it. It's called the JUDDD diet.
I'm thinking of starting this diet but just for the health benefits - not to lose weight
