Tell me about 5/2

[WelshDragonCheese]

I have lost weight using 16/8 with some longer fasts. I now have a stomach issue and need to eat more regularly. I am wondering if I could do 5/2 eating little and often on the fast days.
So my question is how much weight have you lost doing it and do you just eat 500 calories as this seems so few?
Also is hunger a big issue as the advantage of 16/8 for me was it seemed to reduce hunger?

Michael Mosley recommended 800 for fast days. I think it’s realistic. I found myself going to bed a bit earlier on it. But generally found I 800 cals could fuel me through active days. Good luck.
