The Alternate Day Diet: New diet trend on everyone's lips

We closed off with Nikki Nepheritie Naidoo - A holistic health care practitioner at Magnificent Health speaking to us about the alternate day diet. The Alternate Day Diet involves calorie restriction by severely limiting calories every second day so the result over time is a reduced calorie diet. Essentially this means the diet requires that every second day you fast with a maximum calorie intake of 500 calories for women and 600 to 800 calories for men and on the "alternate" days you eat as you normally would. Apart from shedding those stubborn kilos evidence has shown that the diet can also ensure a healthier, longer life and other benefits include less pain and inflammation, a reduced risk for diabetes, lower risk of heart disease and even possible a lower risk of dementia. The following are tips for the diet: Keep yourself well hydrated irrespective hungry or thirsty drink water and do not do strenuous exercise on your "fast" days although stretching and yoga like exercises are good.

Just her will, and her strength that I see in her - she wants to make such a big change, but don’t have the necessary tools, so it will take years to fund her dream, and I came up with the crazy idea to give it a year and do my part to raise those funds and build that house,’’ said van Dieman.
