Actor Ralph Feinnes, who packed on pounds for
his role in Schindler's List, followed this plan and said it helped

as it's more of a blood sugar-regulating eating schedule; once blood
sugar is normalized, says author Adele Puhn, cravings soon dissipate,
and that helps excess pounds fall off almost by themselves. It's not
a five-day diet, either, as the title implies; rather, that's the amount
of time it takes to get your blood sugar fully normalized.
