The “alternate day diet” or “every other day diet” is just what it says. You fast or reduce calories down to 400 on alternate days. The other days you can eat normally. This is not a fad diet but a scientifically sound way to improve health and lose body fat.

If you are looking for a diet that actually works here it is at last and it is so easy to follow you don’t need a book. Watch the Horizon documentary that I have put here:  The Alternate Day Diet . It will give you all the information you need to lose weight by fasting.

I was impressed enough with this information to decide to start restricting calories while paying a lot more attention to getting the right nutrients. I am not fasting because I find that really hard and it makes me wan’t to eat too much the following day. ( Mice eat twice as much the following day too!) So I am just calorie restricting.

So far I have found that if you reduce calories with optimum nutrition you don’t feel hungry all the time. I also now know that being hungry is OK and in fact good for us. So the admonishment to never let yourself be hungry  because it will put you into starvation mode and reduce your metabolism is wrong. Your metabolism will not be slowed down at all and being hungry is OK. See what you think.
