The Alternate Day Diet or Fantastic Water Workouts 2nd Edition

The Alternate-Day Diet

Author: James B Johnson

Diet only half the time with this simple, safe, and science-based weight-loss program.

The Alternate-Day Diet is a revolutionary eating plan based on the animal studies documenting alternateday calorie restriction, which indicate that limiting caloric intake every other day can turn on the "skinny" gene (SIRT1). Applying this same model in humans, Dr. Johnson discovered that a similar cascade of positive effects occurs -reduced inflammation, lower free-radical stress, improved insulin resistance, and better cellular energy production, among others. Most important, it also promotes fat loss by releasing fat cells from around the body's organs.

But, perhaps, the most significant benefit for those who want to lose weight is that every-other-day calorie restriction eliminates feelings of chronic deprivation-the reason that most diets fail.

Easy-to-follow and scientifically sound, the diet is already a worldwide Internet phenomenon. And this book will provide Dr. Johnson's legion of followers-plus those new to the diet- with all the guidance and recipes they will need to make the diet work best.
