The Every Other Day Diet

The Every Other Day Diet, 2nd Edition is a healthy, fat-burning diet that you will be able to use to lose weight and continue using for life. It's not set up to be a "quick-fix" or a "weight loss crash course." It's written by experts Jon Benson and Janis Hauser with input from Holly Rigsby, CPT, and Daniel Topkis, M.S.

About the Program

The EODD is not a typical diet book nor is it a typical diet. The author stresses 3 important points (or conditions) of you being successful. Number 1 is your dedication to your goal. Number 2 is You must be willing to exercise, and Number 3 is you must be reasonable - make a commitment that you are in this for life and start taking your weight loss goal day by day.

Other topics that are important to weight loss that are discussed are in the Every Other Day Diet are emotional stress, willpower, genetics, and fat. Many times the factors affecting weight gain aren't addressed leaving you once again to be failed by a diet program. This program puts everything that is important in perspective to assist you and teach you a permanent way of losing weight.

Interval eating and planned variance are strong concepts of the EODD. Interval eating is varying the calories throughout the week to keep your body guessing because your body doesn't process calories daily - instead it processes them over a period of time.

Planned variance varies protein, fat, and carbohydrates (macronutrients) throughout the week as well. Scientifically valid - it creates a biochemical environment which burns fat. Although calories and macronutrients are varied this is one program that is not depriving you of food each day and no foods are off limit although portion control plays a major role as well.

By using "burn days" and "feed days" as well as reducing your overall weekly caloric intake, you will keep your metabolic rate higher and burn body fat without starvation. Following this program and exercising will allow you to see a loss of one to two pounds every 7 to 9 days. This is a healthy weight loss.

"Burn days" you'll consume less calories - it's based on the number of calories required to maintain your weight and then reduced by approximately 50%.

"Feed days" increase your caloric intake above your baseline up to one and one-half times your maintenance level. This trains your body to use the extra calories and carbs and increases your metabolism to burn fat even though you're creating a weekly deficit overall.

Foods You Can Eat

The food portion of the Every Other Day Diet is called the SNAPP System®. It's easy to use, saves time, gives you crunch when you eat, measuring is made easy, provides fiber and flexible protein intake and it works for meat-eaters, Vegans, and Vegetarians.
