Best Life Diet

By on February 4, 2011

Bob Greene can be credited with talk show queen, Oprah Winfrey’s ninety pound weight loss.

Winfrey reveled in one of her shows that if had not been for the ‘Best Life Diet’ formulated by Mr. Greene, she would not have been able to shed forty five kilos. People the world over, have become unequivocal coverts, of the Best Life Diet plan, which states that proper food choices and a regular exercise regimen can help anybody to shed the excess weight.

According to exercise physiologist Bob Greene, the Best Life Diet is one of the best ways to lose weight and increase physical fitness. This diet plan works on the principle that gradual lifestyle changes can help one to lead a healthier life. The Best Life Diet plan can be changed to suit each individual’s activity levels, personal lifestyle and food preferences.

The best diet plan ensures that every individual gets between 1500 to 2500 calories, per day, depending on their activity levels. The calories are obtained from a variety of food items which fall into the five food groups.

However this diet plan suggests that in order to lose weight and lead a healthy life, one must avoid certain kinds of food. These include foods high in trans-fat and food items like white pasta, soft drinks, high fat dairy products, white bread and fried foods.

Mr. Greene also encourages people to curb their appetite by making simple changes in their eating habits. These include avoiding places where food is prepared when it is not time to eat, eating a lot of fiber rich food and drinking plenty of water, including food rich in complex carbohydrates, proteins and fat at each mealtime, eating at regular intervals, trying not to overeat, by discovering the trigger factors and doing plenty of exercise and getting proper sleep.

The three phases of Best Life Diet are as follows. In the first phase which lasts for four weeks participants are encouraged to change their eating habits drastically, which includes avoiding alcohol, eating two hours before bedtime, avoiding certain types of food and eating a proper breakfast.

The second phase which lasts for another four weeks coaxes people to give up on high calorie foods, increase exercise and eat healthy foods. During the third phase when the individual achieves the targeted weight loss he is rewarded with certain ‘luxury calories’.
