The best bits from Life & Style this week.

This week we took a look at the controversial 5:2 diet - the idea of fasting a couple of days a week for optimal health.

We also had a few great blogs that got you talking - Ladies issues blogger, Rebecca Kamm, wrote about the sexual allure of Asian women, while Shelley Bridgeman encouraged chat about the proposed Bunnings in Grey Lynn.

And, we sent our Style File guys down to find the hottest, hardcore Rhianna fans this week. Check out

and let us know your favourites.

Next week in Life & Style, Shelley Bridgeman raises the topic of having babies later in life and I'll share with you the best spring fruit and veg you need to add to your plate.

Have a wonderful weekend!
