The book details a plan that combines the keto diet, intermittent fasting, and their popular Dubrow Diet . The idea comes from Terry's recent research into a more sustainable version of the keto diet , which he's openly criticized in the past.

What he ultimately came up with is the new fusion diet. Its a hybrid of interval fasting and the keto diet, which allows you the benefits of both without any of the challenges of either, Terry told the publication.
The Dubrow keto fusion diet follows a 12-8-4 format. Each day includes 12 hours of fasting (mostly overnight), eight hours of the keto diet, and four hours of eating fruits, vegetables, and carbs normally not allowed on keto. Youre going in and out of ketosis, he told the publication. This diet, a fusion diet, is the best of both and very sustainable, with none of the challenges. Youre never starving youre always munching and enjoying yourself but in a very precise and physiological way that allows you to go in and out of ketosis and replenish your carbs and your fruits and vegetables.
