It happens every year: over
the holidays we put on a few extra pounds. Come January we vow to drop
the weight. This year, many are turning to intermittent fasting. Fueled
by the bestselling book "The Fast Diet: Lose Weight, Stay Healthy, and
Live Longer with the Simple Secret of Intermittent Fasting,"
intermittent fasting is the weight loss trend of the moment. The idea is
simple. On some days you eat as you normally would. On other days you
cut your calories to a quarter of your normal intake. Advocates say this
feast and famine approach mimics how humans ate for thousands of years.
They argue that the benefits may extend beyond weight loss to staving
off Alzheimer's disease and even preventing some types of cancer.
