Anyone here using Alternate Day Fasting?

I learned about this on PBS earlier this week. http://video.pbs.org/video/2363162206/


Here is a basic summary of the technique.

Alternate Day Fasting – what is it, in a nutshell?
In a nutshell, Alternate Day Fasting is a method of dieting and calorie control. To summarise, when you are following an Alternate Day Fasting program, you eat whatever food you like on day 1, and on day 2, you consume a very limited amount of calories (typically less than 400 calories for women, and 500 calories for men). Then on day 3, you eat whatever you like again, and on day 4, again consume a limited amount of calories again. This pattern is simply repeated over and over again.

The theory behind this is that, overall, you are consuming less calories than you normally would, therefore, weight loss is inevitable.

I've been on it for nearly a week and I see some positive effects on the scales. I eat a good high protein breakfast, and then I drink a lot of liquids and low cal foods like fruits and veggies. Ginger tea seems a good hunger suppressant.

Give it a try to see how you like it.
