Feast or famine: The diet that won't just help you lose weight, you'll live longer and be brainier! | Mail Online
If you google alternate day dieting you will find loads more saying the same thing
Another good reason (I found my body shape was slimming down much faster than my actual weight so did a bit of research and found this info in a few websites so thought I would sharefor anyone interested in starting its quite an incentive x)
A big benefit to using alternate day fasting for weight loss is that your weight loss will be almost purely fat loss, because intermittent fasting prevents your body from cannibalizing your muscle tissue.
In an average weight loss diet, 25 percent of the weight you loss is muscle tissue. That means if you're losing two pounds each week, only 1.5 pounds is fat.
With alternate day fasting, a two pound weight loss would result in the loss of 1.95 pounds of fat. Losing an extra half pound of fat each week can make a big difference in terms of inches and appearance.
