Thank you for your comments. I think it is a different approach people are doing these fad diets that promise them weight loss but only harms there bodies in the long run. I want people to enjoy food and eat more of the right foods to lose weight. I agree there has been a lot of research done on Intermittent dieting and the benefits. The question I ask all my patients are

1. Will you be able to do this type of the diet for the rest of your life? answer usually is not
2. The second question I ask is would you recommend this type of diet to your children? usual answer is no.
   I agree besides the Huntington post article there has been several studies about eating the proper foods often for better blood sugar stabilization and in turn weight loss.

I definitely see some of your points are valid and I think we have to start somewhere if we are serious in battling this obesity epidemic.
