How to lose weight immediately, in times when maybe we eat too much and don’t want to gain weight but even dedicate a few days of freedom at the table?

One solution may be Dr. James B. Johnson’s alternate diet.
A forerunner diet of all diets based on intermittent fasting and the Fast diet, but much simpler and more sustainable especially if it is done at the turn of the holidays such as Christmas, Easter, or near dinners, lunches or special events, short holidays etc.

LOSE WEIGHT IMMEDIATELY WITH DR JOHNSON’S ALTERNATE DIET

The diet must be followed for 2 weeks to lose weight immediately and cancel the effects of overeating, activating the so-called lean gene or SIRT1. It consists of a diet and a non-diet day, or 3 days of diet, 3 days of freedom at the table and another day of diet. This is on a weekly basis.

Dr. Johnson’s alternate diet, physicist, was developed in collaboration with Dr. Laub, who has conducted hundreds of studies on weight loss, longevity and the immune system.

For two weeks you follow the pattern that I report below, choosing whether to do it every other day, or whether to do it for 3 or 4 days a week of your choice. After the weight loss, in the following weeks the pattern must be followed every other day, but with some more additions as we will see later.

DR JOHNSON’S ALTERNATE DIET SCHEME

• On diet days, you need to follow a pattern of around 850 calories per day.
  This for the first two weeks .
  Subsequently, the additions to the scheme must be made that allow to reach about 1200-1300 calories for the diet day, and in maintenance it works every other day: one day of diet, one day of non-diet.
  For example, Monday, Wednesday and Friday diet days with the maintenance scheme.
  The other days we eat normally.
  In fact, no particular restrictions are followed on non-diet days.
  If the non-diet days are excessively caloric, this scheme allows you to not gain weight.
  If your diet days are normal, you can lose weight right away and especially lose body fat and reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome.
