    About this ebook

    Give your will power a break! It easy to lose 2 lbs per week or more by dieting only two days a week.

    Endocrinologist and weight Loss specialist Dr Richard Lipman relates his experience of treating hundreds of overweight patients with the 2 Day a Week Intermittent Fasting Diet.
    Give your will power a break! It easy to lose 2 lbs per week or more by dieting only two days a week.
    Despite the increased availability of healthy foods, exercise facilities, low-carb and low-fat foods, diet sodas, diet plans, literally thousands of weight loss supplements—and even weight loss prescription medication—today, more and more people are overweight. It’s estimated that by 2015 approximately 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million obese The old dietary rules of eating low fat foods, exercising more, and not skipping meals has not made a dent in this problem. In fact, not only are there more obese people in every country in the world; they also weigh more. The average woman has gained 20 lb and the average man more than 30 lbs in the last decade.
    Over the last 5 years, hidden from view has been the development of a new system to lose weight—intermittent fasting. Intermittent Fasting does not mean stopping eating entirely. It means reducing the amount you eat, two days a week to 25% of normal (500 calories a day for women and 650 calories a day for men) and eating normal on the remaining 5 days a week. Dr Lipman’s experience treating hundreds of his patients as well as scientific trials all over the world have shown this to be a safe, effective and rapid technique for weight loss. In fact, the scientific reports presented in Dr Lipman’s 2 Day a Week Diet have shown reduced risk for diabetes, heart disease and stroke with this system.

    On the diet days, usually Monday and Thursday you have breakfast and dinner or lunch and a late diner. For each day of the week you fast, you lose 1 1⁄2 lbs per day or 3 lbs. per week. The remaining 5 days you can eat what you want. If you make a little effort to get rid of fast foods and sugary drinks the weight loss per week can double. You might think that on the “eat anything days” you would gain weight, but in fact, most people end up eating about 1800 calories—just enough to maintain the weight. Knowing you can eat what you want on non fasting days makes dieting on the 2 days a week much easier. Colored food menus for fasting and non fasting days are included which show portions, calories, preparation and selection of appropriate foods. A whole section offers various recipes appropriate for the diet days. Many of Dr Lipman’s patients who have struggled with their diets in the past have found the 2 Day a Week Diet to offer a fresh, encouraging and effective tool for weight loss. They have found it easy to concentrate on their food intake when they are concerned with only two days a week

      Introduction

      Despite today’s increased availability of healthy foods, exercise facilities, low-carb and low-fat foods, diet sodas, diet plans, literally thousands of weight loss supplements—and even weight loss prescription medication—more and more people are overweight. The World Health Organization has estimated that by 2015, approximately 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million obese

      Psychologist Kelly Brownell, director of the Yale Center for Eating and Weight Disorders, coined the term toxic environment to explain the cause of the culture of overeating seen in America today. New York nutritionist Marion Nestle describes the origin of this toxic environment with two words: improved prosperity. Certainly we have prospered over the past 20 years; so has the weight-loss industry. The money spent trying to fight off the weight will exceed $60 billion dollars in 2008, just in the U.S. alone.

      Not only do more people become obese every year, they also weigh more than ever. In 1962, the average man weighed 166 pounds. By 2002, the average had reached 191 pounds and is still on the rise. In the same time period, the average woman’s weight rose from 140 pounds to 164 pounds, and this number is still growing today. How this happened, is easy to understand. Easily obtained, pleasurable food is everywhere we look. In the past 30 years, the average food intake from meals has increased by 120 calories a day (enough to account for a 12 lb. weight gain a year) and the calories from snacks by a shocking 180 calories a day. Instead of three meals a day, most of us are eating every three hours.

      Obesity is associated with an increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular events, stroke and cancer. Moreover, a decrease in calorie intake lowers the risk of diabetes, hypertension, stroke and cardiovascular diseases in obese populations. Everyone is acquainted with the most common form of dietary restriction --daily calorie restriction which requires individuals to reduce their calorie intake from 15% to 40% of everyday needs. Another type of dietary restriction used, although far less frequently, is part time dieting. This includes alternate day fasting (ADF) and modified alternate day fasting [MADF; i.e., consuming 25% to 40% of energy needs on the fast day and unlimited food intake on the non-fasting days]

      I’m going to introduce you to the breakthrough idea of part time dieting. This relatively new diet strategy has helped my patients lose hundreds of pounds and keep it off. Part time dieting means restricting calories to only two days a week and eating normally the other days—thus the term 2 Day a Week Diet. This plan eliminates much of the sufferings and setbacks that usually come with daily food restriction. I encourage you to try dieting just one more time. I promise you that there is a way. The beauty of this method is that it is extremely effortless. It contradicts everything you have ever tried. Reading this book will clear up a lot of the myths and help you to understand what is exceedingly critical in order to lose weight. Instead of altering all of your deep-rooted, personal habits, you are encouraged to embrace them, know who you are, and accept what you like and dislike. Eat what you want, or just be a little more careful and you will lose at least one lb for each fast day a week. This new system asks you to make the changes on two days a week. On each day, you will eliminate 1500 to 2000 calories almost automatically. If you eliminate only a few unhealthy foods on the non-fast days there is actually no limit to the amount of weight you can lose.

      We are unable to go against our nature for more than just a remarkably short period of time. There is a reason that we do the things we do. Throughout our lives, we develop various mechanisms to cope with the demands of our environment. Our basic instinct is to survive, and everything we do is related to this instinct. We cannot disassociate our environment, our bodies, and our lifestyles from each other. Trying to artificially implement changes that do not agree with us is not just a waste of time; it can actually produce more unwanted problems for us. With the help of this book, you will figure out your circumstances at this specific moment in your life. You will need to answer a few questions and familiarize yourself with some easy-to-remember concepts to make the changes. You will be able to distinguish correctly between small changes that have a significant weight-loss effect, and unnecessary changes that yield little. Focusing exclusively on your efforts to lose weight, instead of getting bogged down in all sorts of questions related to a healthy lifestyle choices, is the name of the game. I guarantee that you will be able to do this without having to go through pain, anxiety, or extensive personal sacrifices, and I promise that I will not ask you to eat or do anything that you do not like.

      Once you have fasted two days a week you are done with it. Fasting on just two days a week is all I will ever ask of you! No other restrictions, no hunger and no extra exercise is required. No cooking recipes, no specialty foods, and no supplements are required. Everything you need to participate successfully in this new method is readily available at every supermarket in the country, at every school and job cafeteria and even on every street corner. You will see fast results. Sound easy and straightforward enough? This method has worked for so many of my patients. Give it a try. You will like it!
