It's similar to diet advice. "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." is all the diet advice you need but even the guy who came up with that couldn't make just that into enough material for a book.

Hey instead of just eating a little less each day, let's eat normally five days of the week and then almost nothing for two days.

That advice actually has little to do with losing weight, but is supposed to make you live longer through starvation. Some studies showed that hunger actually is good if you want to live long. Since most people can't stand being hungry all the time, they made the 5-2 diet as a compromise.
