Kate Krader (@kkrader on Twitter) is Food & Wine's restaurant editor. When she tells us where to find our culinary heart's desire, we listen up. For some spring breakers it’s a bad sign that the Girls Gone Wild franchise recently filed for bankruptcy. But hopefully, no one will take this important holiday any less seriously. You still want to be in shape for whatever packed beach or pool with loose drinking laws you might be headed to. Here, some of the hottest diets of 2013, which may just help you get ready to star in some stranger’s video. The brainchild of Brits Dr. Michael Mosley (who’s been called the Sanjay Gupta of the UK) and Mimi Spencer, the diet has been a runaway hit. Chef and food writer Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall lost eight pounds between the beginning of the year and January 18, and said in The Guardian, “I believe in this fasting thing, I really do. I find the whole thing rather exhilarating. I feel I might just be part of a health revolution.” The 8-Hour Diet What’s more, you only have to follow the regimen three days a week; the diet claims that this will not only help you lose 2.5 pounds per week, but also help reduce various health risks and slow the aging process. High-Intensity Impact Training Here’s how: Exercise super-vigorously for 30 seconds (i.e., running up stairs), then rest for a short period (up to a minute), then repeat twice more, all within the span of five minutes. Repeating this program twice weekly supposedly is as effective for weight loss as longer exercise sessions. Their initial evidence also shows that participants’ appetites are suppressed by these little bursts of exercise, rather than stimulated, as they are by longer exercise routines. The Aztec Diet Shred: The Revolutionary Diet Smith compares his Diet Confusion to muscle confusion, where you switch workouts to rev up overall performance. In the same way, varying your food intake can, he says, boost your metabolism. More from Food & Wine: Best Fried Chicken in the U.S. © 2011 American Express Publishing Corporation.

I do believe all the concepts you've offered on your post. They are really convincing and can certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for starters. May just you please prolong them a little from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

The retired spring-breaker in FL diet: Bowl of cereal in the morning, then go to the gym. Feeling pretty good now, head down to the tiki bar for a few cold ones and flirt with the bartender. Give her a big tip. Head over to the fish shack and get a grouper sandwich and a few more easy ones. Head back for a nap.

Sorry about that. I wasnted to see if it worked. It did! Yay!
Is that George Takei on the right? I wouldn't be surprised. You know it's ok to be Takei, right?
Reading all these comments make me feel blessed to be normal.
I've got the perfect diet. EAT NORMALLY & MODERATELY. DO SOME EXERCISE. Have a happy life!
Ugh, I am usually not in that groups that has a pathological hate for CNN – but on this one, this article is beyond stupid – and worse runs the risk of legitimizes fad diets – exactly what people don't need more of. Eat reasonably, live moderately, workout reasonably, and be consistent – it works.
It's all about starvation.
Don't do it! Don't do it!

LOL, very original...and very true – an incredibly superficial, silly article.
Are you really bald?
You do know that's Captain Picard?
http://jaypgreene.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/picard-facepalm.jpg
NO to your Jdizzle name. But I approve your message
Without even knowing it, I have been on the 8 hour diet for most of my life!
I have been too!
everything in this article is false...... no wonder people are confused... get the facts, intermittent fasting is a bodybuilders technique. not for couch potatoes..... and its high intensity INTERVAL training, (not impact )... this is laughable, and it needs to be for an hour at a time, not 5 minutes..... total bull#***....... god CNN sucks big time!
CNN sucks? For giving you an article (information that you can digest as you see fit)? I'm glad you have all the answers and know exactly how everything works. One thing you may not know: exercise reduces sress. I recommend you exercise more.
stuff it david. facts are a minimal requirement from news corps. not fluffed BS.
Walk.
Hydrate. Fiber. Proper bowel movements. Also I think most people have imbalances in their gut fauna due to poor diet. Without repairing these bacteria colonies, you will not loose much weight even being "good".
You know you're on a good diet when you can't walk 5 feet without crapping your pants
Want to lose weight, and keep it off? How about this: be responsible for your diet. Cut down on the fast food to once a week, and eat fresh vegetables, fruits, and lean meats. Learn how to moderate your meal portions, and don't over eat. It's not rocket science.
Hate to break it to people but most of these tricks work only on the obese who will lose weight as long as they consume even slightly less calories and get even slightly more exercise than they already do.
However, if you already consume an appropriate amount of calories, and you already get more exercise than walking from your couch to your fridge and back, then they are absolutely worthless.
It's surprisingly easy to lose weight and get fit. Eat less and exercise more. Once you do that, how you do it means precious little.
Amen
I disagree. I think these tips can work for anyone. The key is sticking with a strategy.
There is nothing in these strategies that makes them any better than regular diet and exercise. Instead of eating limited calories two days a week in the fasting diet, spread that out over the whole week and eat 200 a day less than normal. The 8-hour diet is complete bull. If you consume 3000 calories in a day and burn 2000, it doesn't matter how long it takes you to eat it, you will gain weight. Liquid diets only work because it forces you to eat less calories. Have fun going to the bathroom when on a liquid diet. Just eat right and exercise. That's the secret tip.
You are free to disagree, but it would help if you pointed to even a shred of scientific evidence for any of these diets.
Yup. People are looking for an easy way out.
To paraphrase P.T. Barnum: There is an overweight sucker born every minute. You'll lose weight alright. Especially around your wallet area.
I have tried all of these diets, and they have failed. But I promise I won't be a failure if you vote for me as president! I just hope the North Koreans don't distract me with donuts .... mmmm, donuts ....
LOL!
Nice try Christie! The best strategy is to encourage kids everywhere to plant their own gardens and eat fruits and vegetables, and try to make sure your surreptitious trips to the burger joint are not made public.
Ugh! I hardly eat anything and I continue to get fat. Thanks Obama!
Apparently all that fat has gone to your brain.
Stop eating in McDonald's, that works
So you were skinny when dubya was prez? LOL
You were fat when Reagan was in office
lets see.... bs....bs....bs....bs....and bs. How about eating a normal balanced diet and exercising every once in a while??
What ? I want my 3 minutes back from reading this. NOTHING can substitute for hitting the gym 5 days a week and sticking to a decent diet. I'm not a diet czar who deprives myself of fatty foods. I indulge in a fat porterhouse steak from time to time, and actually plan on drinking a 6 pack tonight ; but 85% of the time, it's nothing but fish, bnls sknls chicken, veggies, and fruit ; all washed down with NOTHING BUT WATER. Water is the drink of choice for me 98% of the time. Caffeine dehydrates muscles and accelerates the heart. The world needs to stop looking for ways to avoid the gym. Losing weight is simple ; burn more than you consume. The end.
1. Turn off TV, computer
2. Get up and move, join a gym or just walk/jog/run
3. Eliminate fast food, sugar filled drinks, bad fats, high sodium, limit alcohol/smoking, etc. etc.
4. Eat healthier, portion sizes of meals, add vegetables/fruits
5. Save $$$ not following the next useless fad.
I'm the laziest mofo alive and I'm 5'9" 165 lbs. Your logic is not sound.
If you consume less calories than you burn then you lose weight. It's really that simple.
Truth. Calories in versus calories used. The fatties don't want to listen though. They'd rather hear that it isn't their own fault, or that they aren't lazy. Anything but the truth.
These all sound terrible. How can you know something slows the aging process when it has been around for five minutes? The shredder diet just promotes a brand, and you can't call it Three S's when they're all the same stupid word. This stuff is insanely irresponsible!
Calisthenics and food with ingredients you can pronounce. How hard is that?
And yes, if you peel away Shredder, smoothies, snacks, and soups are just as dumb for a diet.
I eat low-calorie, low-carb 6 days a week and eat whatever the heck I want 1 day a week. My grocery bill is super cheap because I basically eat the same thing every day and only eat out once or twice on my free day. My 6-day diet primarily consists of spinach, eggs, coconut oil, romaine, chicken, fish, and broccoli. It works!
4-hour diet? What does the coconut oil do?
Unlike most dietary fats, which are long-chain triglycerides, coconut oil is a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT). MCT's are metabolized very quickly by the liver, rendering their energy content immediately available be for expenditure, rather than being stored for later use.
Am I the only one a little disturbed by the picture? WTF where are the hot chicks. Why must I stare at the moobs of three old guys. This is a diet article, the rules of online media demand pictures of women who have never been overweight.
The 'Sanjay Gupta of the UK' – ah ok, so a pseudo-doctor who acts as a shill for the latest fad for money? Got it.
excellent, well said. He is a total BS
Or you could just eat less calories and fat, do a little exercise, and stop latching onto the latest diet fads.
