Recently there have been a vast study of the effects of fasting, and its effects on our health.

Ive seen a few studies come out with some interesting results, especially the new "5:2" diet that seems to have hugely beneficial effects on the body.

I wanna know your thoughts on these forms of dieting. Would you participate? do you believe the hype?

Fasting, is healthy in moderation and not as a (I have eaten like a pig for a week - so now I will starve myself). Fasting is to clear toxins (of one kind or another - there are so many ways about going about it that who could tell you what you were fasting for). Fasting is not for losing weight and if done properly the results are evident with energy, the look of the skin and a freshness about you.

But if you want a diet, well I suggest finding fruit and vegetables that you actually like, seeds and nuts that you like. Make conscious choices on what to eat in those in between meals. Because I don't know anyone who has been on a diet that has lost weight and it is stayed off.

Me I attempt to keep my white carbs to a low, (it does not always work and I pay when it comes out the other end). But dieting I did for years with little result and always feeling a lose whilst dieting. Now I have treats some weeks a little more than I should but I keep pretty much to everything around what I like. I add some stuff and if it works I go with it, add other stuff and if it does not work, I only do it every now and again. There is no quick fix to eating, you got to find your own style because someone elses style will suit them and not you.
