introduction
The right diet for you If you are searching for a safe and rigorously tested diet, one that really does help you to lose weight and keep it off, The 2-Day Diet is a brand-new approach that has proven results. Not only will it enable you to lose weight and keep it off, but it will also help to protect you against cancer and improve your health generally. The 2-Day Diet is associated with lowering high blood pressure and anti-ageing effects, as well as with improving general well-being, mood and energy levels. It will also help to retrain your appetite so that you can move away from over-eating and unhealthy food cravings. In short, it will help you learn to eat what your body actually wants and needs, so that you lose weight and keep it off.
To experience all the benefits of The 2-Day Diet you dont have to fast, skip meals or feel hungry. All you need to do is eat a low-carbohydrate, high protein diet for two days a week, ideally consecutively, and then eat normally but sensibly for the other five days. IF YOU ARE VEGETARIAN You can follow The 2-Day Diet if you are vegetarian. Just be sure you eat enough protein to help you feel full. This book includes vegetarian recipes and plenty of ideas to adapt the other recipes for vegetarians. The information on following the vegetarian version of the Diet is .
Rapid results We developed the The 2-Day Diet with short-and long-term weight loss in mind: you can expect to see rapid results up to 2 kg (4 lb 4 oz) of fat lost a week. In clinical trials, 2-Day Dieters lost fat about one and a half times more quickly than those on a conventional seven-day, calorie-controlled diet and lost more centimetres around their waists, which is where fat most harmful to your health is stored. After a month on the Diet we found that 2-Day Dieters lost on average 0.51.4 kg (13 lb) a week, whereas 7-day dieters only lost an average of 0.31 kg (2 lb) a week. Longer term, our 2-Day Dieters were also more successful in keeping the weight off. In one study 70 per cent of the 2-Day Dieters were still following the Diet after three months, compared with only 40 per cent of the 7-day dieters. In another, we followed 2-Day Dieters for 1215 months after they first started the Diet and found that they kept their weight off and maintained healthier lower levels of cholesterol and the hormone insulin with one restricted day per week.
You can read in detail how we developed the Diet over the last 12 years and find out about the clinical trials we carried out in our first book, The 2-Day Diet . Easy to fit into daily and family life The 2-Day Diet is not only easy to stick to but its also easy to fit around your daily life. On your restricted, low-carb days you can still eat the same as your family or partner, but simply add portions of carbohydrate foods, such as rice, pasta or baked potatoes, to their meals. The healthy meals designed for the other five days of the week are ideal for the whole family. Everyone will thoroughly enjoy the meals in this book and none of you should feel as though you are on a diet.

Are you overweight? You probably know if you are overweight, but it will help you plan your weight loss and establish your goal weight if you know how much you weigh. Start by weighing yourself and then go to our website www.thetwodaydiet.co.uk to work out your body mass index (BMI). Although your BMI doesnt give the whole story, a healthy BMI is in the region of 18.524.9. If yours is higher than this, you need to think about losing weight. If you are very overweight, start by setting yourself a shorter-term goal rather than one that seems unattainable. For more information about what is a healthy weight and setting weight-loss goals see The 2-Day Diet .
THE 2-DAY DIET IN FIVE EASY STEPS On The 2-Day Diet you eat a low-carb diet for two days a week and normally but sensibly for the other five. Look up how many servings of protein, dairy, fats, vegetables and carbohydrates you can eat per day on your restricted and unrestricted days in the Ready Reckoner charts . Consult the lists of foods to find out what a serving looks like. Plan what to eat each week. To help you get started there are meal planners . Get cooking, enjoy great healthy food and start losing weight! How to do The 2-Day Diet The 2-Day Diet includes a low-carbohydrate diet for two days a week.
These are your restricted days and it is best if you run these two days back to back. Although you can lose weight if you space them out over the week, our trials showed that Dieters found the second day as easy as, or easier than, the first when they did them together because they had got into the habit of eating less. There is also evidence that there are additional health benefits from doing the two days together because the body is in a healthier metabolic state for a longer period. On your restricted days you eat lots of protein, healthy fats, low-fat dairy foods and some vegetables and fruit. You need to restrict your intake of carbohydrate to around 50 g (2 oz) per day, which is why you avoid all foods such as rice and pasta and also higher-carbohydrate fruit and vegetables, such as carrots, blueberries and onions. These higher-carbohydrate fruit and vegetables are, of course, still healthy foods and you can eat these on your unrestricted days.
