It is suggested that you limit yourself to 500 cals (600 for men) for two non-consecutive days a week. This concept of the 5:2 diet, or intermittent fasting, works by sending your body into 'repair mode' rather than storing fat (starvation mode), which can happen when you just cut down all together. This 'repair mode' causes the body to restore damaged cells, which uses more energy.
