[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]May be a good candidate for Every Other Day Diet (EODD), sometimes called Up Day Down Day (JUDDD) or alternate day fast (ADF). I've used it to take off a few stubborn pounds and then maintain. Love it because it doesn't seem like a "diet" to me. Every other day I can eat literally whatever I want. Wings, cheesecake, whatever. But on alternate days I eat very light - recommended intake ~500 calories for the day.

There have been some books and studies about it. Does not ruin your metabolism or have any known negative health consequences but not advised for anyone who may be prone to eating disorders (for obvious reasons). For the first couple weeks I ate much worse than usual on my "feast days" - nachos, etc. but actually now I don't even crave it much anymore. And on your fast day you just mentally say - "tomorrow, I am going to Sweetfrog/Wendy's/Potbelly/Krispy Kreme" -- and you can. All fits within the plan/"diet."[/quote

My DH is down 45 pounds since Xmas and is continuing to lose and stay motivated on a plan he's concocted of fasting/juicing/smoothies. The two biggest things he's said he has had to do is accept that he will be hungry at times and weigh himself everyday.

The hunger thing was something he was unwilling tondo for a while, but he's found juicing/smoothies to help satiate his urge to binge. And it allows him to enjoy gluttonous meals on occasion so he doesn't feel deprived. [/quote]
