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 … :slight_smile:

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
