Le régime 5:2

If during the five days 'normal', you can live as usual, without refusing a dessert and a glass of wine, two days of semi-dieters are rather monastic. A book to those kind of all or nothing (but part time), do not want to complicate life in the kitchen and do not suffer from compulsive eating.

 Basic principle: fast two days a week
The trend, born in England to as "Fast Diet", was developed by two researchers: Dr Michelle Harvie, Nutritionist, and Professor Tony Howell, oncologist. It was developed following a publication in scientific journals, explaining that the alternation of a normal diet and a semi-fasting helps maintain an ideal weight and even weight loss if overweight. This is because it would be more efficient to drastically reduce calories for two days rather than decrease them more lightly all jours.C'est ultra-easy diet and not frustrating. Even the anti-diets are ready to eat vegetables for 48 hours, if they can, from the 3rd day, meet less stringent menus. It is also a simple approach to follow when accumulates outputs and professional meal. Simply program the semi-young during the weekend (to avoid temptation) or on the contrary, the intense occupations days (not thinking about food). Finally, as the loss can be regular, it is motivated to continue this journey.In practice
We start with two semi-fasting days to 500 kcal (600 men) during which one eats only raw and cooked vegetables, semi-skimmed or skimmed dairy products, light protein (poultry, lean meat, fish, eggs ) ... We keep a minimum of good quality fats (canola oil, oilseeds). It banishes the bread, cereals, legumes, bad fats, sugars ...
During the next five days, it's free time: we forget food taboos while remaining reasonable. And that, as much to stay healthy to maintain that weight loss caused by the young. And after? To maintain its new bean line, Michelle Harvie and Tony Howell advocated maintaining a semi-fasting day per week or semi-fasting days every fortnight.
An example of a day to 500 kcal 2 scrambled eggs served with 50 g of smoked salmon, some roasted vegetables with balsamic vinegar and served with 25g parmesan, 1 pear.Disadvantages of the method
Fasting is not very good reputation, suspected of causing deficiencies. On the other hand, the five days off are not synonymous of "I binges for fasting" or abuse of sweets-chocolate-chip-wine ... If you tend to be in the "all or nothing "to own perpetual régimeuses (all = I guzzler day long / = nothing I did not swallow a forbidden food crumb), avoid this diet will aggravate your compulsive eating without help develop good dietary habits .The advice of a fan of this regime
Dr Michael Mosley, physician and author of the book (with Mimi Spencer) The fast diet, Daily Editions Malin "Intermittent fasting is likely to increase your life expectancy, regulate your appetite and help you lose weight. Its effects are felt quickly, often within the first week. As your fast is neither intense nor prolonged, your body does not go into starvation mode and does not store its fat. And it does not increase the rate of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates hunger. Hunger is tamed and your appetite will soon to regulate. You do not wake up the next day with the urge to raid the fridge. "
