Publisher Description
The D.O.D.O. Diet, or Day On, Day Off Diet will help you lose weight quickly and easily whilst dropping fat, building muscle, restoring energy levels and dramatically improving fitness and health (it can help reduce your risk of cancer and diabetes as well as slow the ageing process). Unlike other 5:2 diets, you aren’t tied to two set diet days a week. Depending on your individual goals you can diet 1, 2 or 3 days a week to get the results you want – and eat whatever you like the rest of the week.
The diet is carefully designed by Drew Price, a highly experienced Registered Nutritionist who specialises in working with elite athletes to help them reach peak condition and improve their performance, including medal-winning Olympians, Premier League footballers, Rugby League and Rugby Union players.
On ‘Days On’ you drink plenty of fluids and eat one light meal a day (about a quarter of your normal calorie intake)and there are clear guidelines, meal plans and simple recipes to help you do this. On ‘Days Off’ you can eat exactly what you want, although you are encouraged to follow his everyday eating guidelines to make the best food choices and to get the full health benefits of the diet.
A revolutionary approach to weight loss, health and fitness, The D.O.D.O. Diet ends the tyranny of everyday dieting and calorie counting and gets you the results you want, whether you just want to lose weight, are training for a specific sports event or want to protect your long-term health.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Price, a London nutritionist whose clients include professional athletes and Olympic medalists, presents a program of intermittent fasting or "IF" as a panacea for a range of health- and excess weight-related woes. The secret to such mindful fasting, he says, consists of the physiological responses it triggers, which lead to fat loss; decreased instances of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease; and a slowing-down of the ageing process. The plan offers three different approaches, depending upon your primary goal: losing weight, increasing athletic performance, or improving overall health. General tips on navigating the day on, day off (DODO) nature of the diet in the short- and long-term, 70 pages of recipes, and a section on exercise, sleep, and stress cement the book's comprehensive tone. The minutiae of the biochemistry behind the program's success sometimes bogs it down (Price himself acknowledges this and tells readers how to leapfrog over it), but the information is sound and intriguing. Those looking for a genuinely workable way to improve their health will not be disappointed.
