This method restricts your intake to foods including lean protein, healthy fats, and non-starchy vegetables to ensure you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/low-carb-intermittent-fasting\/\">eating at a lower carb rate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_the_Dubrow_Diet_Work\"><\/span>How Does the Dubrow Diet Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As already mentioned, the Dubrow diet is split into three separate phases. Each of them has a different goal and a different time limit, but they all bring you closer to your target weight:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first phase is designed to <strong>reset the system and prepare your body for weight loss.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The second phase is when you\u2019ll actually <strong>start losing weight.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>And then, the final phase of the Dubrow diet plan is made to <strong>maintain your target weight.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at these phases in more detail.<\/p>\n<h3>Phase 1: \u201cRed carpet ready\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>The first phase of the Dubrow diet is called the \u201cRed carpet ready\u201d phase. <strong>This phase is incredibly restrictive and should be followed for 2 to 5 days at the beginning of the diet<\/strong>. The idea is that this phase will reset the body, reduce hunger cues, and help you start losing weight with a blank slate.<\/p>\n<p>This stage involves eating foods like lean proteins, healthy fats, non-starchy veg, fruits, dairy, nuts and seeds, and a small number of complex carbs. In this phase, you would follow a 16:8 style of intermittent fasting plan, <strong>meaning you would eat for 8 hours of the day and fast for the other 16 hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Phase 2: \u201cSummer is coming\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>The second phase, known as \u201cSummer is coming,\u201d is meant to be followed <strong>until you achieve your desired weight<\/strong>. Similarly to the first phase, you follow an interval eating plan, but you can fast for between 12 and 16 hours each day.<\/p>\n<p>The amount of time you choose to fast for will depend on how much weight you want to lose and how fast you want to do it. <strong>Fasting for extended periods will likely help you shed excess weight faster<\/strong>, but it will be much more challenging.<\/p>\n<p>Though this method doesn\u2019t require you to count the calories you eat, <strong>the food allowance in this second phase is more restrictive<\/strong>. Your daily meal plan should include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2-3 servings of non-starchy vegetables<\/li>\n<li>2-3 servings of different lean proteins<\/li>\n<li>2-3 servings of healthy fats<\/li>\n<li>1 serving of a dairy product<\/li>\n<li>1-2 servings of fruit<\/li>\n<li>1 serving of nuts or seeds<\/li>\n<li>1 serving of complex carbohydrates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This low-carb interval eating phase is designed to help you <strong>nourish your body while still losing weight.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Phase 3: \u201cLook hot while living like a human\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>The last phase, known as \u201cLook hot while living like a human,\u201d is designed for weight maintenance in the long term. As with the second phase, here you will need to commit to interval eating, but the pattern changes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Two days a week, you would fast for 16 hours and eat for 8<\/strong>. On the remaining five days of the week, you would need to follow a <a href=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/12-hour-fast\/\">12-hour fasting plan<\/a>, meaning you eat for 12 hours and fast for the other 12.<\/p>\n<p>In both the second and third phases of the diet, <strong>you may have cheat days<\/strong> consisting of your favorite foods\u2014but you should still consume them in moderation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foods_to_Eat_on_the_Dubrow_Diet\"><\/span>Foods to Eat on the Dubrow Diet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Foods you may eat on this diet include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Non-starchy vegetables<\/strong> \u2014 broccoli, celery, cauliflower, artichoke, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lean proteins<\/strong> \u2014 fatty fish, chicken, tofu, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Healthy fats<\/strong> \u2014 avocado, olive oil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Complex carbs<\/strong> \u2014 whole grains and starchy vegetables (although these should be kept to one serving per day to keep your carb intake low).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foods_to_Avoid_on_the_Dubrow_Diet\"><\/span>Foods to Avoid on the Dubrow Diet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The success of your Dubrow diet journey depends entirely on your regular intake of healthy foods.

In fact, it is well known that <strong>any diet that prioritizes these food groups can reduce your risk of developing illnesses<\/strong> like <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21410865\/\">some cancers<\/a>, heart disease, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2671114\/\">diabetes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Diets like the Dubrow regime are also considered heart-healthy diets, and may help you reduce your risk of cognitive decline and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5293796\/\">neurodegenerative disease<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>May protect against chronic diseases<\/h3>\n<p>Both intermittent fasting and a whole and healthy diet are thought to reduce your risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/phyrehab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/549\/2019\/02\/2.15.2019-Wellness.pdf\">chronic disease<\/a>.

We have summarized them below.<\/p>\n<h3>May cause a yo-yo diet effect<\/h3>\n<p>Yo-yo dieting is when your weight increases and decreases in cycles over long periods, which is induced by diets where you lose lots of weight at once. This can happen after you have lost weight on a diet, and then go back to eating normally again, only to put all the weight back on again.<\/p>\n<p>Yo-yo dieting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4241770\/\">may have<\/a> long-term consequences for your health, including putting you at greater risk of illness later in life.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid this, <strong>it\u2019s essential to understand that your change of habits is a lifelong commitment to yourself<\/strong>. You should keep prioritizing healthy meals and lifestyle choices for the benefits mentioned above to last more than a few months.<\/p>\n<h3>Possibly restrictive in terms of calories<\/h3>\n<p>Though the diet doesn\u2019t necessarily restrict calories, it limits your eating hours. In the end, by following it, you will probably eat fewer calories than usual.<\/p>\n<p>Not eating enough calories each day can cause several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3302369\/\">problems<\/a>, including lack of focus, weakness, and irritability.<\/p>\n<p>While following the Dubrow method, <strong>make sure that you\u2019re getting all the nutrients you need<\/strong>, and remember: for a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/how-many-calories-per-day\"> safe weight loss journey<\/a>, women are recommended to consume at least 1,200 calories per day, while men should eat at least 1,500 calories.<\/p>\n<h3>Emphasis on physical appearance<\/h3>\n<p>Although this method offers many health benefits beyond dropping some pounds, the Dubrow diet is primarily marketed as a weight loss plan.<\/p>\n<p>An emphasis on losing weight can cause some to develop an unhealthy relationship with food, which may lead to eating disorders.<\/p>\n<p>When following this or any other regime eating habit, <strong>remember that your health is more important than your appearance<\/strong>. And if at any point you feel that you\u2019re developing an unhealthy relationship with food, or that losing weight is becoming an obsession rather than a goal, stop the diet and seek medical or psychological help as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Not suitable for people with certain health conditions<\/h3>\n<p>Certain groups of people should refrain from trying this diet, as in their cases, this change of habits can have more negative effects than benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>People with a history of eating disorders.<\/li>\n<li>Anyone with an illness that would be exacerbated by fasting.<\/li>\n<li>Those with sleep conditions.<\/li>\n<li>Pregnant or breastfeeding people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Always speak with your doctor before trying a new diet<\/strong> to ensure that it is suitable for you and that it won\u2019t have any negative consequences for your health.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_DoFasting_to_Get_the_Most_Out_of_Intermittent_Fasting\"><\/span>Try DoFasting to Get the Most Out of Intermittent Fasting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re considering trying this diet, you might want to take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/\">DoFasting app<\/a>.
