Re: [fast5] Every other day fasting study

Yes, it's called the Alternate Day Diet.  You eat a very small portion of calories every other day or some people do Mondays-Wednesdays-Fridays, etc.

 

I have the book but have only scanned through it.  I haven't read it all yet.  But it is the exact same principle.

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

http://www.newsmaxhealth.com/headline_health/on_off_fasting_lose_weigh/2009/11/12/285699.html?s=al&promo_code=910A-1

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?
