I've heard a lot of stupid shit in my day (like I've had that many) but the "5:2 Fasting Diet" is, by far, some of the worst. Lemme break it down for you. For 2 days during the week, you eat only 500 calories and the other days you eat normally. In case you aren't aware, the average anorexic eats 600-800 calories a day. (source) Yeah, you read that right, this diet suggests you eat LESS than the average person SUFFERING from anorexia nervosa.
Um... who the fuck thinks this is a good idea? Unfortunately, a bunch of people. Even more unfortunate, one blogger that I follow used to follow.
This is the thing that really bugs me about this (besides the fact that I think it's incredibly idiotic): If you decide to start a stupid diet that requires you starve yourself for 2 days so that you can fit into a white dress for someoverpriced party antiquated tradition, that's fine, but maybe you should think twice before you tell your readers, over 3,000-some-odd people, about your fantastically, smart choice because maybe, in doing so, you are encouraging them to follow in your footsteps. And maybe, just maybe, some of them already have a history of disordered eating and this will be the catalyst to start that back up again. Because, you know, that perfectly, grounded blogger is doing it, so it must be OK.
Oh, and just because you write a footnote stating you are not a nutritionist (duh), does not get you off the hook. Not from me, anyway.
