Tenafly, New Jersey, December 15, 2016, Consumers are bombarded with all kinds of diets to shed those extra pounds, especially with the Holidays fast approaching. A gastroenterologist practicing in Englewood New Jersey wanted to personally see if the much heralded Intermittent Fasting Diet approach produces results. He decided to perform a clinical study with several selected patients, and become a participant of the study himself.

His results revealed:

• Average weight loss of 6 lbs
• Reduction in lipids of 20%
• Reduction in fasting glucose
• Improvement in attitude, outlook
• Better perspective in choosing the right foods

The group supported each other using group text. His office will be launching a new “New Year’s” group on Monday, January 2, 2017. If interested in joining the group, contact his office for further details. Address: 401 S Van Brunt St, Englewood, NJ 07631. Phone: (201) 569-0555

The concept of controlled intermittent fasting, aka Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD), was the basis for a landmark study recently published in the peer reviewed Journal – Cell Metabolism. Results showed that “Three FMD cycles decreased risk factors/biomarkers for aging, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer without major adverse effects, providing support for the use of FMDs to promote healthspan.” Garnering major media attention is “The 5-Day Fast Diet”, which was developed following the guidelines of the latest research referenced above out of the USC Longevity Lab. It incorporates and refines those guidelines.

“The 5 Day Fast Diet” (www.the5dayfastdiet.com), was developed by Weight Loss Buddy®, an online weight loss portal that encourages members to choose a “Buddy” from their master database of over 165,000 members to provide support on their weight loss journey.
