Heather and Terry Dubrow are back with a new eating regimen! The couples latest creation, The Dubrow Keto Fusion Diet, which is both a book and a nutrition plan, draws on the best parts of the ketogenic diet and interval eating to provide secrets to weight loss success.
We have a new diet book thats called The Dubrow Keto Fusion Diet that mixes the best of the two top diets, which are intermittent fasting and the keto diet, Terry, 61, told Us Weekly exclusively earlier this month.
Though both eating regimens are very popular, Terry and Heather, 51, sought out to make them more accessible, yet still effective and healthy, so they combined the best parts of each. The problem with both of the diets is intermittent fasting is challenging because youre not eating all day, and the keto diet is challenging because you dont get to eat fruits and vegetables and carbohydrates, so its not sustainable and not particularly healthy, the plastic surgeon explained.
But we found a science-based plan that combines the benefits of both without the disadvantages of either, Terry added. Its prescriptive, but its very, very simple. Its very sustainable you get to fat burn all day long while youre eating.
The plan, which is outlined in The Dubrow Keto Fusion Diet book, allows both fruit and alcohol, which is something the Botched star was happy about considering Heather told Us he hated keto.
I was down on keto because you really cant have fruits and vegetables. Its so low carbohydrate that if you eat one apple, youre out of the traditional ketogenesis diet, so its not sustainable, the reality star argued. But what this does, it allows you to have a reasonable amount of carbohydrates each and every day, allowing you fruits and vegetables, but it sends you into a ketosis during the day, and then out of it at night, and then back in it the next day.
According to Terry, this diet is similar to keto in that it enables your body to use fat for fuel during the day, while still allowing you to have some of the popular foods you crave at night, which would traditionally be forbidden on the keto diet.
In other words, certain cheats are permitted on the Dubrow Keto Fusion Diet, such as alcohol. How could you live without that? Heather quipped. That was one of the things we didnt like about the keto diet.
Terry added that this diet, which is a follow-up to 2018s The Dubrow Diet, also allows other foods that are typically not permitted on keto. Weve made it very easy, he said. Its a very simple plan that allows you to eat during the day as opposed to fasting all day, but allows you to have fruits and vegetables also.
Heather compared the duos diet to a popular exercise technique, adding: Youve got to think of it sort of like high-intensity interval training, which were all very used to when it comes to exercise. You raise and lower your heart rate and thats how we train the body. Its the same exact idea, is that were coming in and out of ketosis, training the body that way.
While the Real Housewives of Orange County alum clarified that her children with Terry twins Nicholas and Maximillia, 16, and daughters Katarina, 13, and Collette, 9 dont stick to the diet, they do follow a similar eating plan when theyre home. When it comes to the family, theyre not on a program per se, but so many of the meals in here are family-friendly that its just easy, and we did it that way on purpose, the Bravo personality told Us. Not that my 9-year-old is on The Dubrow Keto Fusion Diet, but she enjoys many of the dishes we make.
