The 2-Day Diet is a simple, effective and medically proven diet to get thin and healthy developed by acclaimed scientists Dr Michelle Harvie and Prof Tony Howell at Genesis Breast Cancer Prevention in Manchester.

To reach your perfect weight, all you need to do is follow a low-carb, low calorie diet for two days a week. For the rest of the week you simply eat normally but sensibly - ideally eating foods associated with a Mediterranean lifestyle. It really is that simple and the science proves it: in trials followers had a 65% success rate of losing weight and keeping it off (the success rate of other continuous calorie-controlled diets trialled ranged between 20% and 50%); they also lost twice as much weight as those on a continuous calorie-controlled diet as well as more centimetres around their waist.

The 2-Day Diet is packed with clear and simple guidance, meal planners and 70 delicious and filling recipes to help you on your way. There are also options for vegetarians. The authors explain how and why the diet works, and outline the numerous proven health benefits associated with it, including reducing insulin and levels of other hormones known to cause cancer, alleviating arthritis and asthma, lowering high blood pressure, and improving sleep, depression and memory loss. It is a unique way of eating and one that can completely rejuvenate your body on a cellular level. Finally you can enjoy your food and stop worrying about your weight for good.
