Is fasting for five days a month the best way to slim? It's the latest twist to the diet everyone's talking about. So why are some doctors still sceptical? Monthly five-day fast apparently slashes the risk of cancer But some experts believe fasting is a quick ticket to osteoporosis Feast for five days, fast for two. Eat whatever you want and lose weight. Stay healthier, live longer. These are the kinds of claims being made for intermittent fasting - and the idea that you can eat with abandon, so long as you restrict food consumption for two or three days a week, is seductive. Last month researchers revealed a new version of this idea: a five-day fast every month that apparently slashes the risk of cancer and heart disease and causes body fat to melt away. But from every-other-day diets, to 5:2 fasts and regimens where you eat only within a four-hour window each evening, are the claimed benefits supported by any evidence? Or is fasting, as some experts believe, a quick ticket to osteoporosis and malnutrition?

I think it's, "Fast two hours before fisting". |

Seems like just another stupid diet fad. The best diet is to simply eat moderately, eat whatever you want with the exception of anything your body can't handle, and get enough exercise so that you'll burn more calories than you take in on a daily basis. Starving yourself for 2 days a week is not rational, IMO. |

Here's a crazy idea: 1. Eat healthy food in adequate (but no more) portions; and (2) get exercise. |

My 88-yr. old aunt is about 300 lbs., smoked for years and lived on Vienna sausages and RC Cola. She's comfy in a nursing home now, watching her 'stories'. |
