They seem to work, but the weight loss is similar to what you lose through conventional calorie counting. Alternate day fasting - where you consume very little for one day and eat normally the next, for instance - reduces calorie intake by an average 25 per cent a day. 'This is very similar to calorie restriction diets, ' says Krista Varady, professor of nutrition at the University of Illinois in Chicago, and author of The Every-Other-Day Diet. And weight loss for both methods is similar - 4 to 8 per cent of total body weight over two to three months, she adds - equivalent to 6-12lb for an 11st woman. Most experts agree there's nothing magical about how, or why, fasting diets work. 'I think it's simply a way to manipulate the amount of calories you're taking in, ' says Professor Varady, who insists fasting plans are still useful because people often fail to stick to regular diets. But alternate-day fasting 'does a bit better' at maintaining weight loss than conventional dieting In a year-long study where she compared alternate-day fasting with conventional dieting, Professor Varady found that alternate-day fasting 'does a bit better' at maintaining weight loss.
