Following the success of the 5:2 diet, a stack of new diet and fitness books have been released this month
If your New Year's diet has already ground to a burger-induced halt, perhaps you're just following the wrong slimming plan? For the past couple of years it's been all about the 5:2 diet - two fasting days per week - but going by the number of new slimming books already released this year, in 2014 we can enjoy (if that's the right word) experimenting with a whole host of punishing weight loss regimes.
Here are a few that might appeal:
The Every Other Day Diet
Who wrote it? Dr Krista Varady (the scientist who came up with the 5:2 diet but didn't make it into a book) and Bill Gottlieb
Tagline? "The only fasting diet priven by science"
