5:2 worked for me. It helped me rediscover true physical hunger & fullness signals so I was able to eat sensibly on my non-fasting days and rarely felt like snacking. Essentially I combined 5:2 and NoS and went from BMI 36 to 19. I've kept the weight off for a year now.

I often do the 20 minute trick: I serve up a normal plate of food even if very hungry then pause after finishing and if I'm still hungry after 20 minutes (it's very very rare!) I allow myself a top up. 20 mins gives my body the chance to register genuine fullness.
