Just wondering, if a 17 year old, 5'5, 117lb girl be able to do the 5:2 diet? thanks!!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not advised.: At 5"5", most average girls weight 125 pounds and are still in what is considered healthy weight at 135 or more pounds, while under 112 would be considered under weight. If you weigh 117 and feel you need to lose weight, please talk to a counselor about your body image. Severe weight loss can have many long term complications.
