The Best Life Diet
The Best Life Diet, which received great praise from Oprah, was created by Bob Greene. This easy to follow diet is one that requires those who adopt it to change their life permanently. It is not a lose weight quickly and quit diet. Those who practice it are determined to stick with it for the long run in order to live a healthier lifestyle. It is a gradual process that combines healthy with maintaining a physically active routine. It doesn’t ask the demand that the individual change over night. He or she must only take baby steps towards improving his or her currents habits.
The diet is broken down by gender and activity level. Depending on which category you fall under, your suggested calorie intake will differ. This can range anywhere from 1,500-2,500 calories a day. You will also be assigned a certain amount of servings of certain food groups daily too. The reason for the different calorie ranges is that if you are more active, you need more calories. Since activity burns calories, this makes sense.
The idea behind this diet is to slowly replace existing foods with healthier alternatives. For example, you may be asked to replace regular pasta with whole wheat pasta or white bread with whole grain bread. These small steps will help rid your body of the damaging trans fats and sugars that have been known to cause people weight issues.
Details regarding this diet are available online or by book. There is a book explaining how the diet works and a cookbook to show you how you can eat a variety of foods throughout the course of the day that will be a healthy alternative to your current selections. There are even sweets in this book that can be consumed on a regular basis. Those who have adopted this diet have spoken positively about it because it can be applied to almost anyone’s lifestyle. You don’t need to radically change who you are to fit into a version of this diet. It just requires you to try new, better, foods instead of the same old same old.
There are three phases to the Best Life Diet. Phase one can last up to four weeks and it asks that you increase your physical activity and slowly change your eating habits. Phase two kicks up the physical activity a notch and incorporates even more healthy foods into your daily routine. Phase three all about maintaining what you have accomplished for the rest of your life. It also details how you can indulge responsibly.
This diet is based on scientific findings, so it is not surprising that is has been met with a positive reception from the medical community. Most support its plan to change people’s eating habits and increasing physical activity.
This is one of the most reasonable diets out there. It shows people how to change their life for the better. It doesn’t make false promises of helping you lose weight in a week or a month. It is about changing your lifestyle so you can maintain a healthy outlook on food and physical activity.
