[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, Diane Rhem embraced the latest diet fad.  Proving yet again that she's not a journalist but a self-absorbed ninny.

Her description of having coffee and cheese cubes for breakfast made me want to barf.

+1 I do intermittent fasting and nonetheless you made me grin.

I've been doing IF for a year and have lost 35 lbs. I track my bp, blood sugar and cholesterol and all the numbers have improved.

There are a number of ways to approach it. Some people do 16:8 a daily approach where you eat in an 8 hour window and fast for 16. 
Then there is 5:2, 4:3, some do 6:1 for maintenance.
I do ADF, alternate days. I don't always manage 500 calories but focus more on length of fast. I don't eat breakfast anymore. Never liked it and am comfortable waiting until midday. On fast days lunch is the only meal, on non fast days I eat lunch, dinner, and any dessert or snack if I want. Fasting gets easier the more you do it. One doesn't really overindulge.
Sometimes life gets in the way, but it is easy to get back on track. And yes I do think dropping 2 sizes does peel some years off.[/quote]

Talk to me about 6:1. I have (only) ten pounds that I'd like to take off and keep off; my problem is more low energy (I have a raging caffeine addiction and would love to quit it but have not been able to).[/quote]
