GhostofCircleKnight Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Hi CR society, I was wondering if anyone knew if 5:2 was better than a 10% reduction in consumed calories and if any studies have been done on this. Since I normally eat 2000 calories a day, CR would take me to about 1800 calories, which adds up to 12600 calories a week. However, with 5:2, this would be something like 11,200 calories a week since I'd eat 600 on my fasting days. Thanks for the time you take to answer my inquiry.

Michael R Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 It's quite clear that what matters for aging is the overall decrease in Calorie consumption, not the pattern of eating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
