Feast and Famine: Controversial 'Fast Diet' Weight Loss Plan Is Eat for 5 Days, Fast for 2
The hottest British export might be boy band mania, from the Beatles to One Direction. And Americans are fascinated with Kate Middleton and her royal baby bump, but the next big British invasion, hitting stores in the United States this week, might be "The Fast Diet."
According to its creators, tons of Brits are losing tons of weight. But what's intriguing is that they're reportedly getting radically healthier by doing something that sounds truly unhealthy: Fasting.
Not every day, just two days a week. The other five days require zero willpower. Fast dieters can eat whatever they want, from cheeseburgers to croissants, in a guilt-free way, the backers of this diet claim.
On the Fast Diet, they're not actually starving themselves on the two fasting days, but close to it. They can consume just 25 percent of a normal adult daily food intake, which translates to a measly 500 calories for women and roughly 600 calories for men. Those calories can be consumed in one mid-day meal or spread out over the course of the day, but protein and lots of fruits and vegetables are highly recommended.

Jog/run up and down the driv way 3 times
(Before you attack her spelling keep in mind that most schools initially encourage kids to spell phonetically.)
Amy Cheney, a writer and mother of three, shared the list on the Australian lifestyle site Mama Mia, where she writes with humor and emotion about the thoughts that ran through her mind when she found this upsetting piece of paper.
Diyet. Jesus.
Where did she learn the word diet? How does she even know what a freaking diet is?
Whose fault is this? Is it mine because I let her play with Barbies? Because sometimes she’s allowed to watch Total Drama Action? Is it because when I draw with her I can only draw stick figures?
She goes on:
How did this happen?
I am smart about this stuff. I have a degree in early childhood studies. Our family focuses on and promotes healthy eating and healthy bodies. Our attitudes are reasonable and balanced. Weight has never been an issue in our home – it is, for the most part, irrelevant.
