[fast5] Re: Every Other Day Fasting vs. Fast 5?

Both diets help you to lose weight and are based on intermittent fasting. Not sound entirely surly, but there's no charge for Fast-5. Honestly, every now and then due to familial obligations, I will eat like a 'normal' person for a day and then eat nothing the next. Then I go right back to Fast-5. I've tried both ways and I've found that the reason fast-5 works for me is that I like schedules. I can't trust myself to sometimes eat and sometimes not eat. As Heather mentioned, I like looking forward to my awesome meal at the end of the day. I like thinking about what will make the most delicious meal for my body and mood for that day.

It really is a personal choice. Either way will work FAR better than the standard american diet so you just have to choose which way will make you happy for the rest of your life. Or use both, but do it for the rest of your life.
