In other words, a diet’s success can be measured by how well they can enforce my
first nutrition ‘truth’ – ‘prolonged caloric restriction is the only proven nutritional
method of weight loss’.

If the diet plan allows you to stay on the diet for a long period of time, then you have a
very good chance of achieving sustained weight loss success.

From what we have seen, there is a large amount of science that supports the use of
short term fasting as an excellent way to create a dietary restriction, and it seems to
be an effective and simple way to lose body fat (which is ideally the goal of ANY weight

loss program). On top of that we have also determined that short term fasting does not
have a negative effect on your metabolism.

So far, so good. Fasting does not cause any negative or damaging effects on our

metabolisms, but that still leaves us with another big unanswered question: What
type of effect does short periods of fasting have on our muscles?
