    It may be radical, but the Fast Diet is also wonderfully economical with its rules. All you really need to know is that:

    • You eat normally for five days a week and then, for two days a week, you consume a quarter of your usual calorie intake – around 600 calories for men, 500 for women. So, it is not total ‘fasting’, but a modified version. You won’t ‘starve’ on any given day; there are still calories coming in

    • A rise in the levels of neurotr
