Alternate-Day Fasting Shows Promise For Obese Dieters

Whatever works, but this study sure did not tell if it did.

"Restricting daily calorie intake is a common plan to help obese and overweight people slim down to healthier weights. But the regime requires a daily 15 to 40 percent calorie reduction, which makes sticking to the diet hard for many."

Wrong.

It makes it almost impossible. (see here, here, here and here.)

"We need to find out how long they can stay on this diet -- and if they go off it, do they automatically regain the weight?"

Wait and see.
