I have heard that this can work, but you need to be sneaky. If we fast too often our bodies respond by holding onto fat. So the trick (as the "experts" say) is to mix it up. If you fast tomorrow, then wait 3 or 4 days before you fast again. Then wait a different number of days if you fast a 3rd time.

If you are serious about this, consider consulting a nutritionist. And if you do, let us know what they say!

I am doing the Wild Diet. I would describe it as a paleo/ketogenic combo. I am so far pretty happy with the results. I have lost far more in inches than actual pounds, which is what my aim was. 19 hrs seems a little extreme though. During the work week I try to make it til 10am 2 to three days a week and at least one weekend day I try to make it til noon. I really like his because it is a lifestyle change and there is no real counting. It's also not a starve yourself til you are miserable thing. If you are hungry ...eat. Just choose the right foods.

I still swear by carb cycling...low days mixed in with high. Portion control, lots of water, exercise. Fasting is hard for me...once you get past the hump its not so bad but its hard. Ive read a lot of minimal calorie days to extend your life. http://fitness.mercola.com/sites/fitness/archive/2016/03/25/health-benefits-fasting.aspx
