About this ebook

"The Every-Other-Day Diet is the perfect diet for me."

That's the satisfied declaration of a dieter who lost 41 pounds on the Every-Other-Day Diet. (And kept it off!) You too can expect dramatic results with this revolutionary approach to weight loss that is incredibly simple, easy, and effective. Created by Dr. Krista Varady, an associate professor of nutrition at the University of Illinois, the Every-Other-Day Diet will change the way you think of dieting forever. Among its many benefits:

It's science-tested, science-proven. Dr. Varady has conducted many scientific studies on the Every-Other-Day Diet, involving hundreds of people, with consistently positive results published in top medical journals such as the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Obesity. Unlike most other diets, the Every-Other-Day Diet is proven to work.

It's remarkably simple-and effective. On Diet Day, you limit calories. On Feast Day, you eat anything you want and as much as you want. You alternate Diet Day and Feast Day. And you lose weight, steadily and reliably.

There's no constant deprivation. The Every-Other-Day Diet doesn't involve day after day of dietary deprivation--because you can still indulge every-other day.

It's easy to keep the weight off. With other diets, you lose weight only to regain it, the frustrating fate of most dieters. But The Every-Other-Day Diet includes the Every-Other-Day Success Plan--an approach to weight maintenance proven to work in a study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.

This book offers all of the research, strategies, tips, and tools you need to believe in the Every-Other-Day Diet and easily implement it in your life. It also includes more than 80 quick and delicious recipes for Diet Day, as well as a list of tasty prepared foods that make meals as easy as 1-2-3.

The Every-Other-Day Diet is perfect for anyone who wants to shed pounds and feel great, without hunger and defeat.

Ratings and reviews

I have struggled all of my life with my weight. I eat healthy and have for many years. The only time in my life (25 years ago) when I maintained weight easily was when I worked a manual labor job in the field for 8 hours a day and worked out at home or the gym for 4 hours five days per week. I was exhausted all the time. This book is very informative with many comparisons to other diets showing extensive research results. The author states in the book she never intended on writing a book when she conducted the research. She was working on her doctorate. Colleague's advised her to write the book since there had an abundance of logical research that was conducted many years prior to writing the book. So far for me I am one pant size smaller & 13 lbs lighter after 4 weeks. I don't find this "so called" diet very difficult. It does take some planning to ensure you have at leave 1 weeks worth of 500 calorie meals ready to go. I throw a frozen meal and a bag salad in my lunch with a 100 calorie snack--pre-measured and sealed by me. Once you know how much salads greens and a few add ins you can have it is easy to eat in a restaurant in an emergency and keep your meal to 500 calories--I had to do this just once. I am confident this will be the last diet book I ever buy.

This sounds just like a serious eating disorder called bulimia. Find a healthier way to loose weight
