If a vet told you that your dog was overweight, would you:

or
B) Think “Hmm, maybe what he needs is a couple of weeks on the 5:2 diet.”

It would rather we allow ourselves to get caught up in the fad diets — juicing, intermittent fasting, 5:2, the tapeworm diet — because that’s where the money is made.
It’s bullshit.

When people would ask me how I did it, I would give a completely honest answer: “Eating less and moving more.”
