Product Review

All the recipes in The 2 Day a Week Diet Cookbook were crafted and carefully tested by Nancy Baggett and Ruth Glick, cookbook authors with years of experience creating tasty, calorie-wise recipes for national publishers including The American Diabetes Association, Rodale Books, Eating Well, Cooking Light, and Weight Watchers Magazine.

Overview
A phenomenal new weight busting plan is now taking the world by storm. Known as the 5-2 Diet, Fast Diet,  or Intermittent Diet, it calls for counting calories only two days a week and eating normally the other five days.

But the plan requires cutting back to 500 calories (600 for men) on the diet days--which can be challenging unless you have the right recipes. That's where The 2 Day a Week Diet Cookbook comes in. It's designed to give you exactly what you need to succeed on your two diet days: Restricted-calorie recipes that are quick, easy, delicious, and remarkably satisfying.
 
Here are 200-calorie or fewer versions of favorites (ideal for anyone on a low-fat diet) including chili, New England clam chowder, baked apples, French toast, and chocolate-banana breakfast smoothie--food you can actually look forward to on your diet days.

Plus you'll find enticing photos, sample menus, and streamlined cooking techniques to fit the recipes into your busy schedule while you shed those unwanted pounds.
