When you’ve tried practically every diet and have struggled for years to reach and maintain a healthy weight, what do you do next? If you’re Heather and Terry Dubrow, MD, you create your own diet based on cutting-edge and Nobel–prize winning science that promises not just unprecedented metabolic control, but also an internal cellular rejuvenation with powerful antiaging effects. Then, after creating a diet that can transform your life from the inside out, you want to help as many people as possible look and feel their best, so you write a book about it!
In The Dubrow Diet, Orange County’s favorite reality TV couple share the diet and exercise plan they created to end their own decades-long yo-yo dieting and flip on what they call the “ageless switch.” The central concept is called interval eating, a practice based on research showing that when you eat is perhaps the most important factor in weight loss and weight control. With interval eating, the Dubrows will introduce you to a simple eating schedule that can help
reprogram your cells to go after stored fat for fuel. lower insulin and normalize blood sugar. fight off chronic inflammation linked to almost every major disease. activate a process known as autophagy, your cells’ self-cleaning process and an antiaging game changer. increase your energy. finally reach your goal weight. rejuvenate your skin and overall appearance. So, what are you waiting for? You have more power than you realize over the hormones that regulate your weight and the molecular factors that determine how you age. It’s time to take advantage of this power with a diet that is not only doable but also sustainable and even fun! The Dubrows wouldn’t have it any other way.
So these two authors basically put a new little spin on limiting the time span of daily eating and made it into a book?
And, Heather being married to a plastic surgeon. Really?
I think these two had enough money and didn't really need to write a book and pimp out information that is pretty basic to a person trying to eat healthy and maybe lose a little weight.
Not as technical as most of the diet books that I have read. I agree with most of what is written, with a few minor annoyances. Because I watch minimal TV besides sports, I have no idea who these people are, but guessing some kind of reality tv stars. Some of these techniques are worth a try. For fasting read Michael Mosley, for gluten issues - read Wheat Belly, for blood sugar, read The Diabetes Code - , you're welcome.
I wasn’t too interested in their beautiful people story, I’m not a fan of these celebrities. I am however hungry for information on the hows and whys of intermittent fasting and the book provided good research backed information on not only the weight loss benefits, but overall heath benefits of intermittent fasting.
Most people can do anything for five days. Most of the disallowed foods I don’t eat anyways. I feel like it is a happy medium between Keto, Paleo and sugar detoxes.
I tried interval eating for a few days now, and feeling so much more energetic. Besides this book is a great reminder of how to eat healthy, exercise, and get in a habit of living a productive and healthy lifestyle.
The idea of fasting is a good one though I'm not sure of the long term effects. A lot of the fasting felt as though it revolved around caffeine intake which is something I don't and won't do. I don't drink coffee and I beleive that is how these people are getting enough energy to make it to their first meal. What is person supposed to do instead?
The fasting option is the one thing I was able to implement in my day. The book has recipes that are healthy (too healthy for me...). It is an ok read, but not something I would follow. (Except for night time fasting.)
