The 5:2 Fast Diet: Recipe Book Review: I'm impressed. - This diet is actually working for me, and the recipes are very good, too. It's so do-able, to limit calories for only two days a week, and only one day at a time. I tell myself I can always eat [fill in the blank] "tomorrow". I've lost 5 pounds in a month. I'm happy with this book. Review: The American version - I almost didn't buy this book because of the reviews saying there's no serving size and the measures are in grams, liters and such, rather than U.S. measures. Then I checked desertcart's return policy, and sure enough, desertcart's customer-centric policies came through, with easy, fair-term return...so I bought it, keeping another tab open to "manage my Kindle" and a finger on the "actions" button there, so I'd be ready to send the book back and get an instant refund if what these serving/measurements issues proved true of this edition. I'm happy to say they proved untrue, for the American Kindle edition I just bought here at desertcart. All the measurements were in U.S. measurements (I can't be bothered to do the conversions every time I use a recipe, so that'd have been a definite deal-breaker for me), and each recipe says how many people it's intended to serve. I haven't tried any recipes yet, since I just got the book, like, a nanosecond ago, but will add to this review when I try a few of them (assuming I remember). I just wanted to get this review written now, lest someone else be dissuaded from buying the book out of concern about those two issues. I really don't know how many stars to give the book given that, as I say, I haven't tried the recipes. That said, since I have to give a star rating in order to post this, and based on a quick skim-through of the recipes, I'm giving it a provisional/temporary 4 stars on the basis that: a) The recipes are fast, simple and from what I noticed, have no difficult to find or obtain ingredients, which is what I want if I'm making food for modified fasting rather than, say, a dinner party for eight gourmands; b) I realized, in looking through the recipes, that even those that seemed to me more common sense than recipe (e.g., "Blueberry Yogurt" that's, well, blueberries and yogurt, which I'm guessing I coulda whipped up without the help of a cookbook), were useful both for giving me ideas of things to eat during the 500 calorie days-- which is helpful for those of us who tend to get in a rut on very low calorie regimen, mine being a sashimi and raw vegetables rut-- and for spelling out the measurements/oortions and calories in the same place that was giving me the idea of what to eat; c) The fact that any cookbook that includes, in a 500-calorie-day regimen, a "recipe" for chocolate dipped strawberries, shows an esprit at which I can't help but smile. So, so far, I'm liking this new book just fine, and skimming through it has given me the notion that it's going to make even more fun, a diet I'm finding very exciting in my first week of trying it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 82 Reviews | ## Images ![The 5:2 Fast Diet: Recipe Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61n9v-EzL4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm impressed. *by K***. on October 4, 2013* This diet is actually working for me, and the recipes are very good, too.

As you can imagine they have to be fairly basic to meet the criteria. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/16361802-the-5-2-fast-diet-recipe-book](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/16361802-the-5-2-fast-diet-recipe-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
