[fast5] Every other day fasting study

Here's a new twist on every other day fasting:

Basically, participants did a fast 2 every other day, eating only 25% of their normal calorie needs. They ate normally the other days of the week. The study was designed for those needing to lose weight. Weight loss over 8 weeks was 7 to 30 pounds. It was a very small study with only 12 "obese" women and 4 "obese" men. Has anyone here tried this or any other variation of Fast 5 to lose more than 50 pounds successfully?
