The Alternate-Day Diet

After more than 20 years in private practice, James Johnson, MD, 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.

He has dedicated his retirement to healthy living and has developed an alternate-day calorie restriction diet with James Johnson, MD, to help patience achieve weight loss and longer, healthier living. Together with Dr. Johnson, Dr. Laub is the coauthor of The Alternate-Day Diet.
