5:2輕斷食

5:2輕斷食,為一禮拜中選擇兩天(必須不連續)嚴格控制卡路里攝取,而其他五天則正常飲食[1]這是一種源自於英國間歇性斷食法[2],如今在美國歐洲各地皆開始流行。[3][4]

簡介

5:2輕斷食的特色是在一周中不連續的2天採取低卡路里飲食,而在其餘5天則不特別控制[5][6]

運用兩日的少量攝取飲食來平衡一週的總熱量攝取,並降低將胃口撐大的機率,同時在輕斷食日練習選擇低熱量食物與計算分量,也讓低熱量飲食攝取的概念、執行方式慢慢地成為生活中的一部分,漸漸養成低熱量攝取的習慣。這樣的方式同時也符合不勉強自己過度克制吃東西的慾望,在輕斷食日,遇到真的非常想吃的食物,只要想著明天就可以吃,心裡會比較能平衡也輕鬆。[7]

研究證據

目前有關5:2輕斷食的研究非常有限,效果與安全性有待研究。根據NHS choice建議執行5:2輕斷食前可先詢問醫師,因為禁食非完全安全的。[8]
