The 2-day diet claims to work for weight loss too

With everyone becoming more conscious about their health, the world is going crazy about losing weight. From fasting for days to eating tissue papers, people are doing anything and everything just to shed those extra kilos.
If you are also among the same lot, here’s some serious help for you. The two-day diet does not just promise to make you lose weight but also help you manage diabetes.

What is the 2-day diet plan?

The diet plan restricts calorie intake for two days of the week but allows larger portions during the rest five days. Though the research is limited, it shows that the diet can help you lose weight. A study published in 2018  found that the diet may also help control diabetes.

The author of the book 2-Day Diabetes Diet shares that while on this diet, you do not have to count carbs, calories or fat but just follow a special eating plan which helps you power burn two days in a week and nourish the rest of the week.

How to power burn and nourish

On the power burn days, you eat low-calorie foods that include soups, homemade smoothies and stir-fried vegetables. And the number of calories allowed is just 650. But the diet promises not to make you crave or feel hungry due to the satisfying meals it allows you to have.
This shifts your metabolism into the fat-burning mode, which shrinks the fat cells, helps reduce inflammation and insulin resistance.
On the remaining five days, you have to consume 1500 calories worth of foods inspired by the Mediterranean diet. . The diet has proven to lower inflammation and control and reverse insulin resistance.
