I don't understand the original statement.
Assuming you're in a 2g turn, the only way to reduce the g is to make it a descending turn,
If you're in a 2g level turn, the wings are producing 2*AUW lift.
To produce the extra lift, the angle of attack must increase compared to straight and level at that airspeed.
To maintain airspeed with that increased angle of attack will need more power.
