Dr. Harvey’s 2-Day Diet or 2 Day Diet is a diet designed to stay fit at all times, including a 5-day Mediterranean diet and a 2-day reduced-carbohydrate diet.

The two days of low carb diet are precisely those that make up the ” 2 day diet “.
The idea is to stay on a diet two days a week forever, then eat Mediterranean for the rest of the time, and thus effortlessly control weight.

During the other five days we eat fruit, vegetables, pasta and brown rice, legumes, dairy products, meat and fish, wholemeal products, with the foresight to reduce sweets and industrial products and season dishes sparingly.

Dr. Harvey developed this protocol after realizing that her patients are gaining weight with other diets.

Of course we can use the 2 day diet even if we have eaten too much and are looking for a quick way to lose weight. So it can also be a quick diet to eat when needed.

In these two days of diet, which must be consecutive but which we can choose to do whenever we want during the week, carbohydrates must not exceed 50 grams in total , and for the rest we eat moderate proteins and fats.

Dr. Harvey’s 2-day diet is very similar to the 2-day Dukan mini-diet.
