(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 05, 2013 ) San Francisco, CA -- A British physician and journalist, Michael Mosley, has popularized the idea of intermittent mini-fasting through a documentary he produced and a book, The 5:2 Diet Book, he has written. The idea is not to starve yourself for two days, but to reduce your calorie intake to 500 to 1,000 calories. The idea is growing traction across Great Britain and the book has become a bestseller. The book claims that by feasting for five days and fasting for two you will transform your health and improve your brainpower. The concept is also backed up by scientific evidence in the United States.
At the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore, Maryland, researcher Mark Mattson is conducting groundbreaking animal studies. His interests involve how limited calories fend off aging-related diseases. Mattson found that by fasting rodents intermittently, a significant improvement was established in their blood sugar levels, performance on cognitive tasks and the fasting kept them lean. "The bottom line is that the intermittent fasting does a good job in allowing [the animals] to maintain a low, lean body weight," Mattson concluded.
However, the most convincing evidence was discovered a few years back in research conducted at England's Manchester Breast Centre in Manchester, England. About 100 overweight women followed a diet in which five days a week they followed their normal Mediterranean diet pattern of eating and for two days, they ate a low-calorie diet of lean protein absent of most carbohydrates. When the study was completed, the women lost more weight than women who had attempted to limit calorie intake for the entire week.
Michelle Harvie, who directed the study, says the two-day program is much easier to stick to. "We know that people struggle with daily diets," she admits. "Hence, our interest in two-day diets.” Once the women acclimated to the two-day diet, they began eating less on the corresponding days. Harvie also recently published a book on her study titled, The 2-Day Diet.
