One diet I read about recently that I found interesting is called the Fasting-Mimicking Diet. It's not a strict fasting diet; you spend five contiguous days per month eating a very specific diet of about 1100 calories per day. The diet is low in carbs, low in protein and relatively high in unsaturated fat. One of its claimed benefits is that it's easier to stay on than the other strict fasting diets. Some of its other claimed benefits sound quite amazing.
