I have very mixed feelings about the "2 Day Diabetes Diet". On the one hand Readers Digest has once again compiled a tremendous amount of information. The book includes the science behind the concept of fasting, menu plans, recipes with full color photos, modifications for vegetarians and those who are lactose intolerant, a complete exercise plan and much, much more. But on the other hand, I feel the book could have been much better if they had embraced the true concept of intermittent fasting when developing the diet.
Intermittent fasting has truly revolutionized the weight loss game. The concept which has become more mainstream thanks to the work of Dr. Michael Mosley author of The FastDiet and Dr. Krista Varady involves eating less calories (about 500 for women and 600 for men) two or more days per week and eating normally the rest of the week. Based on this premise thousands of people are losing weight, improving their blood sugar levels and enjoying many other health benefits. And those following the plan are finding it so much easier than traditional dieting because you can eat what you like (without being a glutton) on non fast days.
And this is one area where the 2 Day Diabetes does not deliver. In addition to fasting on 600-650 calories 2 days per week on "power burn days", the diet involves eating 1500 calories on the non-fasting days called "nourishment days". Most woman eat an average of 2000 calories for weight maintenance. 1500 calories is dieting. Many weight loss diets allow for 1500 calories a week with no fast days. Essentially this is a diet 7 days a week like any other diet. And with the fast days some may find it harder to sustain. It does not give you the freedom that intermittent fasting does. Calling this is a 2 day diet is not very accurate.
So far, this is working well for my husband and myself. We followed the plan as far as Weeks 1 and 2 (their complete menu), Weeks 3 and 4 (picking and choosing from their menu), and weeks beyond (freeform). I'm a dedicated menu planner, and I really enjoy cooking different recipes, but we thought it would be good to follow the plan as recommended to get a handle on how it works. I'm glad we did this because it gave me a better idea of what and how to plan once we were on our own.
Initially, it was a lot more money at the outset than we usually spend a week, but it got progressively and significantly less as the weeks went on. For Weeks 1 and 2, it was also a lot of cooking. Leftovers weren't built in, and some of these recipes make more portions than my family could eat. I did quite a bit of freezing, and when we started Weeks 3 and 4, I incorporated leftovers to make it much more manageable.
I really feel like we benefited from Weeks 1-4 because it gave me a good basis for meals and portions. When we went freeform, I felt comfortable to adjust my usual recipes accordingly.
An issue raised by other reviewers is the calorie intake on non-Power Burn Days. For this, we ate according to plan at first, but when we were on our own, we just ate how we know we should. Most people know how the SHOULD eat--lean proteins, lots of fruit and veggies, a few whole grains, healthy fats, little to no processed food. We all KNOW this, we just don't always do what we know we're supposed to. So, we were just much more aware of what we were eating and how much. I'm sure it amounted to a 2000ish calories a day (for me) and 2300ish (for him). This worked out just fine. As long as we kept the Power Burn Days with low calories, as directed, we did fine.
