news on health benefits?

Hi. It's nearly a year since the Horizon programme and my adhering to the 5:2 lifestyle. I was drawn to to it not by the idea of weight loss but by the promise of the amazing long term health benefits. Whilst it is obvious that I have lost weight, I have no idea if my health will have improved. I have tried looking online to see if there has been any follow up to the programme and it's claims but all I find are mentions of the weight loss element. I am very happy to have lost some weight but as I see this as possibly being a lifetimes commitment to the eating regime, I wonder if any one has news on whether the greater health benefits have been verified or even disproved?

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be along to answer in a minute but all I can say is that I am in it for the possible health benefits too. Even if we don't know whether there are benefits I feel really healthy living this way so hope to continue unless it is proved otherwise.
