The first 10 steps to losing weight
5. Cut the carbs two days a week
Researchers at Genesis Prevention Center at University Hospital in South Manchester, England, have found that restricting carbohydrates two days per week may be a better dietary approach than a standard, daily calorie-restricted diet for losing weight, preventing breast cancer and other diseases.
This study data revealed that intermittent, low-carbohydrate diets (where a low-carb diet was followed for only two days a week) were superior to the standard, daily Mediterranean diet in reducing weight, body fat and insulin resistance. Mean reduction in weight and body fat was roughly 4 kilograms (about 9 pounds) with the intermittent approaches compared with 2.4 kilograms (about 5 pounds) with a more normal, calorie-restricted diet.
