How this Fast Diet Lifestyle works: Eat these meals tomorrow. On Thursday, eat the meals that will be posted on Wednesday.  Eat sensibly the other days of the week.  That’s it.  Simple way to lose weight and be healthier.                                                            Welcome to RoadtoaHealthierLife who is now Following.

The Piltdown Man was one of the great scientific hoaxes ever.  In the years after Darwin’s proposal of the evolution [‘Descent’] of man, both supporters and detractors were hunting for fossil evidence that humans did or didn’t develop from a ‘lower form of life’ — something between an ape and a man. And then it was discovered!!  In a quarry near Piltdown, Sussex, England, in 1912, Charles Dawson unearthed a modern skull with an ape-like jaw and said it was from half a million years ago.  In 1925 and 1937, the discovery was called into question. But the story really unraveled in the 1950s when the skull was analyzed with modern techniques, showing that the bones were not from the same species, nor were they 500,000 years old. Poor old Piltdown, consigned to the rubbish-bin of has-beens.

There have been many pranks in science, but the Fast Diet is not one of them.  Does it work for everybody? Apparently not. But for the many successful Fasters, it is no hoax.

Here is an article from early 2013, which asks if the Fast Diet actually works. I can tell you that it does.  https://www.nhs.uk/news/food-and-diet/news-analysis-does-the-52-fast-diet-work/

In 2016, Johns Hopkins evaluated the Fast Diet to examine the benefits: https://www.johnshopkinshealthreview.com/issues/spring-summer-2016/articles/are-there-any-proven-benefits-to-fasting

In 2018, a Muslim-oriented website touted the benefits of Fasting as a demonstration of faith and how the 5:2 plan fits into their religion. https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/society/2018/5/14/the-surprising-health-benefits-of-fasting

And my favorite, the discussion of how Fasting can help you to live longer. Hooray! https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/01/health/fasting-longevity-food-drayer/index.html
