This is a weird way to lose weight!
Researchers at the National Institute for Aging found that if you FAST every other day, it's great for your heart, your brain, and your body. On the days where you fast, you actually CAN eat a little . . . only between zero and 500 calories . . .
That sounds awful. BUT there's another twist. In tests, the people who were fasting every other day could eat pretty much ANYTHING THEY WANTED on their eating days. And they still lost weight.
The scientists say this all comes down to insulin production. After high-carb, high-sugar food, your body produces extra insulin. That's bad for your heart, it causes weight gain, and actually reduces your brain function.
