I feel like this article neglects the most important thing, which is sustainability.
I've recently come across the idea of fasting for weight loss. Turns out most people can safely fast (eat nothing, only drink water that is) for many days, sometimes as long as 40 days if they are overweight. Switching to a diet of eating minimally processed food afterwards - which is what we're used to from an evolutionary standpoint - can apparently be quite sustainable.
I'm young and thankfully don't have weight problems, but if I had I think I'd give it a shot.
