The QOD Diet™:
Eating QOD means eating mostly every other day. Eating QOD
is a way to lose weight gradually without pushing your body
into starvation mode.Eating QOD allows you to eat pretty much
what you want (within reason and without binging) every other
day (ON days), so you don’t need to feel deprived or
shut out from a normal lifestyle. In between, during the OFF
days, you need to limit food intake to 300-400 calories, but
your mineral intake (sodium, potassium, and calcium) should
be kept
constant. (Please read our disclaimer). |

|
As a general rule, you should not be eating more than 1,800-2,400 calories (man) or 1,200-1,800 calories (woman) during your ON day if you want to lose weight, but the optimal amount will depend on your age and activity level.

| Eating rules for the OFF day |
| The main goal of the OFF day is to take
in about 1500-2000 mg of sodium and 2000 mg of potassium,
during the day, while taking in NO MORE THAN 300 calories
(400 if you are exercising).

get closer to themselves, to nature, and to higher spiritual
powers.

| Exercise |
Exercise alone will usually not make you
lose weight
Exercise combined with food restriction will definitely help.

| People who should NOT eat QOD |
| The QOD diet is designed for healthy adults
who are 5-25 lbs. overweight (no more), and who don't have
any serious health problems. It is not for the elderly, or
the infirm, nor for people with any sort of heart or kidney
disease.

| QOD Tools |
| Useful tools include a weight loss charting
tool to graph your weight each day over several months. A
special energy calculator computes your caloric requirements
based on age, gender, height, weight, and activity level.
A food scale and a food calorie counter will help prevent
overeating on the OFF day, and a pedometer documents how much
walking you do in a day. (more...) |
