The Alternate-day Diet by James B Johnson
This new approach to dieting is based on scientific and clinical studies that show how restricting calories only every other day activates a gene called SIRT1 - the skinny' gene - which results in reduced inflammation, improved insulin resistance, better cellular energy production and the release of fat cells from around the organs to promote weight loss.'
After more than twenty years in private practice, Dr. James Johnson, a former assistant professor of otolaryngology and instructor in plastic surgery at Louisiana State University School of Medicine, retired to pursue his long-time interest and do further research in calorie restriction in collaboration with scientists at the Gerontology Research Center of the National Institute on Aging. He has conducted studies on the effect of alternate-day calorie restriction on weight loss and general wellness. He has published articles in peer reviewed journals, including Medical Hypotheses and Free Radical Biology and Medicine. He has been interviewed and/or quoted in the popular press, including the Independent (London) and Woman's World. Dr. Donald Laub is the former chief of plastic surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.
