5:2-dieten - uppmärksammad ny dietbok av läkaren Michael Mosley som gjorde den omtalade BBC-dokumentären Eat, Fast, and Live Longer som visades i SVT:s Vetenskapens värld5:2-dieten, eller halvfasta, är det absolut senaste inom hälsa och redan uppmärksammat i svenska tidningar och på bloggar. Ät som vanligt fem dagar i veckan och halvfasta två dagar, men med riktig mat. De vetenskapliga bevisen är entydiga: ett minskat kaloriintag ger en friskare kropp och ett längre liv – på köpet får man också en lägre vikt. Michael Mosley lever som han lär och halvfastar måndag och torsdag varje vecka, dvs lever på 600 kalorier två dagar i veckan och äter precis som vanligt de övriga fem dagarna. Våra kroppar är byggda för att klara perioder av sämre tillgång på mat, men om det blir för många dagar i sträck går kroppen ner på sparlåga. Med den här metoden gör kroppen inte det, utan det som händer under halvfastedagarna är att kroppen reparerar sig själv genom att nivåerna sänks på ett speciellt hormon (IGF-1) som bryter ner kroppen. Resultatet: minskad risk för övervikt, diabetes, hjärtsjukdom, och på köpet får man ett friskare åldrande. Det här är visserligen en diet, men det går att leva halvfastande resten av livet eftersom man får äta vad man vill övriga dagar. Förord av Kerstin Brismar, professor och kostforskare vid Karolinska Institutet.

Finalmente è arrivata anche in Italia la Dieta Fast, che ha conquistato le classifiche inglesi e americane e ha convinto milioni di persone in tutto il mondo. Perché si basa su un principio semplice, efficace e salutare: basta ridurre le calorie per 2 soli giorni alla settimana, continuando a mangiare come al solito negli altri 5. È il principio del «digiuno intermittente» o della «restrizione calorica». Come dimostrano le più recenti ricerche cliniche, la Dieta Fast non solo fa perdere i chili di troppo, ma è benefica per la salute poiché riduce i rischi di gravi patologie come diabete, disturbi cardiovascolari e forme tumorali. Inoltre la Dieta Fast non fa perdere massa muscolare, non deprime l’umore, tiene sotto controllo colesterolo e glicemia, e migliora le abitudini alimentari: dopo poche settimane non solo avrai perso i chili di troppo, ma ti sentirai sazio più rapidamente e non ti capiterà più di provare i morsi della fame. Potrai creare un tuo programma personalizzato che si inserisce perfettamente nella tua vita e, grazie alle ricette e alla tabella del contenuto calorico degli alimenti, saprai sempre come, quando e quanto mangiare, senza trascurare i tuoi gusti personali e la tua vita sociale. Cosa si può desiderare di più da una dieta?

Le diete non funzionano e mai funzioneranno, questa è la verità. Allora, dice Mimi Spencer, godiamoci il buon cibo in santa pace, cerchiamo di scegliere quello giusto, mangiamo come dio comanda, con tanto di posate, a tavola, gustandoci ogni boccone. Avere qualche chilo in più non è la fine del mondo. O comunque non è quello il problema. Il problema è che non funziona qualcosa nelle nostre relazioni interpersonali, nei criteri con cui scegliamo cosa comprare al supermercato, nel nostro rapporto con coltello e forchetta. In breve, nel nostro modo di vita. A volte ci si infila in un modello culturale che finisce per starci stretto e fare le grinze come un abito di due taglie in meno. Un modello che parcellizza e sgretola ogni attimo della quotidianità. E che porta a spizzicare più che a mangiare e a desiderare altro da ciò che siamo. Ma è lecito sentirsi grassi e mettersi a dieta? O forse – se in effetti ci sono dei chili di troppo e non ci si sente a proprio agio – è arrivato il momento di riorganizzare la propria vita e pensare a un restyling? Le scorciatoie e i trucchi di Mimi Spencer vanno in quest’ultima direzione. Il messaggio è chiaro: smetterla di considerare il cibo un nemico. Ovviamente – va da sé – con il sorriso sulle labbra.

In this day and age, most women are well aware that dieting (and the accompanying deprivation) is no way to lose weight.

Spencer''s candid advice (drawn from years spent at the frontlines of fashion) and her uniquely relatable voice (drawn from decades of being a woman on a diet) will keep readers entertained as they knock off a few pounds and learn how to love the skin they''re in.
