Johnson James Bruce - The alternate-day diet: the original up-day, down-day eating, plan to turn on your skinny gene, shed the pounds, and live a longer and healthier life

Diet only half the time... but get twice the results!

A variation [on periodic fasting] that also may lead to weight loss is restricting calories on alternate days. In a small study published in March, researchers followed a group of ten people with a body mass index above 30 who were fed just 20 percent of their normal calorie intake on alternate days. On the other days they could eat what they wanted. After eight weeks, theyd lost an average of 8 percent of their body weight. These people were also asthma patients, and their symptoms also improved significantly after two weeks on the regimen.
