We have been doing the Up Day Down Day Diet or Alternate-Day Fasting. The basic premise is extreme but it seems to be working. Every other day you only consume 500 calories. This is a nice diet because you know you can eat tomorrow. However, the recipes are really lacking. So I started writing my own.
