I learned about Alternate Day Fasting from the Paleo Nutrition groups. Especially from the folks who visit www.PaNu.com. That's a blog that is written by a Dr Kurt Harris. He's done a ton of reading of old studies and has found out that most studies are deliberately skewed to support low fat/high carb diets and the USDA food pyramid. He has a "How to lose weight" page that is superb and a "12 Step - Get Started" program. I've accomplished all but #9 and #12 and I'm working on #9. I am going to start that 30 day shred Monday after my husband's gone to work. I LOVE cheese and I make my own home-made cream cheese so I will probably never give up #12.
ETA: Feast or Famine diet
Juice fasting is good for weight loss and people use it as a cleanse, it is more acceptable in our society it is considered it to be healthier than the water fast. Some people fast for religious reasons and there are many different forms of that. There is a common religious fast where you eat nothing for three days in order to more effectively pray for someone. Some people fast for 30 days, because Jesus did. It is said to bring you closer to God. People go on hunger strikes in order to get things or to prove a point. Other people fast to cure physical alliments.
When I fast I do not eat any food nor do I drink anything but water. I drink bottled water.
The first time I fasted it was to support my sister and because I was hopeless and depressed about my weight. I was the heaviest I had ever been and the weight was still piling on. I water fasted for 21 days. During that fast I got under 200 pounds and have never went above it again. I stopped drinking soda, my cronic hip pain disapeared, I learned a healthy way to eat, and I became closer to God.
It is recomended that you be closely monitored by a doctor when you do a long water fast. But, it is nearly impossible to find a doctor to support this either for weight loss or for medical reasons.
It is my opinion that the best way to loss weight is to exerise and eat right, and if you want to speed the process up just exercise more! The only reason I mentioned fasting is because I know of three people who have an "I'll kill myself if I am above this weight," weight. I highly recomemend and support water fasting when suicide is the alternative.

I tried so many different diets over the years that I have come to a point where I find it very difficult to buy into any "diet plan". Right now I am just trying to eat healthier, cut back on the Pepsi (we all know I WON'T give it up), and move a little more. The positive I have taken away from two months of no weight loss, is that I seem to have found a workable method to stop weight gain. So, when I do manage to lose the weight I am confident I will be able to maintain it. Please don't think that I am denigrating any diet plan. There are many good ones out there, just not for me.

Good morning my quilting and weightloss family. Today is new day and I have lots to do that i don't want to do. LOL.
I just wanted to say HI and to wish you all a wonderful Sunday or whatever day is it in your part of the world.
I am feeling good this morning even if I was up at 6 am. It will take me 2 weeks to adjust to the time change. I wish they would just do away with it.
I got to visit with my folks last night, we hadn't seen them in 3 weeks. Dad is a long haul truck driver. He looked at me and said how much weight have you lost? He said your face looks smaller and your clothing is baggy. It felt real good to have someone notice. I think I will be getting new clothing for Christmas from them. I will really need them by then.
I will stop rambling now, guess I am in a talkative mood this morn.
