That's some impressive weight loss.
I do have to say, though, that ADF is nothing like long term fasting. I'm not real fond of even saying the "fasting" part of ADF because people's eyes instantly glaze over, thinking you are talking about starving yourself.
The original version of this was called the "Johnson Up day, Down Day Diet" (JUDDD) and there is a newer version called the Every Other Day Diet. I like those better as they describe it better. You diet one day and eat over TDEE the next. Repeat. Simple.
