The Dubrow diet
based on 1 reviews
Be aware: this is only the goal of this diet, not necessarily its outcome. Results vary from person to person. Consult your doctor or dietician before starting this (or any other) diet.
The Dubrow Diet was devised by Heather and Terry Dubrow and is based on intermittent fasting. Instead of intermittent fasting the term 'interval eating' is used here, because the inventors want to keep the focus on the food.
The Dubrows state that interval eating has a positive effect on your health and helps you to lose weight. With this diet, they provide guidelines for interval eating.

You can choose from three different 'tracks' to lose weight: slow, medium or fast. The differences can be found in what period of the day you fast (so don't eat or drink) and what period of the day you eat and drink. You can switch tracks, but the inventors recommend to at least follow a track for a week before potentially switching tracks.
The diet consists of 3 different phases:
If you follow the Dubrow diet you are allowed to cheat. Cheating means eating and drinking whatever you want. How much and how often you may cheat depends on the track.
If you follow the slow track you are allowed a snack once a week. If you are on medium, you are allowed to cheat one whole meal (a so-called 'cheat' meal) and if you are on the fast track, you are allowed to cheat one whole day per week.

Apart from the tracks, the diet contains advice on what to eat and drink. The Dubrows mainly give examples of what they eat on a day and why.
You can read more about this diet in the ‘Dubrow diet’ book.
This diet is based on intermittent fasting. It also contains aspects of the 5:2 fasting diet.

As you see fit
With any diet where you are not allowed to do something, you lose weight, with this diet it is not what you eat but when you are not allowed to eat. I think the slow track is what a lot of people already do on their own, have breakfast at 7:00 and finished dinner at 7:00 pm and then take nothing more. It does indeed prevent you from snacking when you are tired instead of sleeping, so that certainly works in that area.
With the professional help of a dietitian it should be easier to reach your goals. Please contact a dietician in your area or talk to a doctor before starting any diet.
Please take note that most diets do not have a scientific basis.
Consult your doctor or dietician before starting a diet, especially if you have a chronic condition like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, lung disease or kidney disease.
If you think you might have an eating disorder (like anorexia or bulimia), it is important to look for professional help. Contact your (house) doctor or find help elsewhere. Here you can find a list of several websites that can provide (online) help. These sites also provide information for people that know someone with an eating disorder.
