There is no shortage of diet programs available to anyone thinking about getting in shape, losing weight, or simply wanting to improve their overall health.
Many top selling programs such as Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig follow very specific formulas, and meet the needs of many individuals that require a very regimented "do this" type programs. Furthermore these programs provide extremely high levels of support in terms of focus groups, prepared meals, calorie counting tools, etc. However, these programs can be very expensive, and they may not be for everyone. They also may not convey all of the health benefits of other programs as they are focused more on weight loss than feeding your bodies the fuel they were designed for thanks to evolution.
One top selling program that is less than and yet produces amazing results is the diet solution program. We should take a look at this program to understand why it is not only a top seller, but why thousands of people find it very effective in meeting their goals.
This diet approach was designed by Isabel De Los Rios, a certified exercise specialist as well as a certified nutritionist. The program was originally developed several years ago as a way for Isabel to meet her goals of losing weight, getting in shape, and minimizing future risks of developing diabetes and heart disease. It builds upon what is relatively recent scientific findings around how the type of foods we eat not only affects our weight, but also contributes to the epidemic proportions of cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, and heart disease.
Many people love this diet because it focuses on education as well as specific, easy-to-follow instructions on meal planning, how to eat, etc. Isabel gives you the science behind her recommendations, which allows you to learn how to make intelligent choices anytime you are planning a meal, eating out, or simply snacking between meals.
The principles behind this diet are similar to the concepts associated with the Paleo diet (sometimes called "the caveman" diet). This overlap and shared approach includes:
- Harmful effects of grains such as cereals, rice, wheat, pasta, and what these foods do to your body when you ingest them.
- An overview of recent research into the glycemic index, and why you should be very aware of how foods impact your blood sugar and insulin levels.
- Real facts and data around heavily marketed "healthy" foods and why they aren't as good for you as companies want you to believe (including soy as well as dairy products).
- Determining your metabolism type using a simple tool, and understanding why this will change the types of food you eat on this diet.
This diet also provides ongoing support and resources aside from the comprehensive program itself:
- Extensive ongoing support and shared experiences via an online community
- Tips and tricks, new recipes, the latest research on foods delivered via email a few times a week.
- Tools to make meal planning simply, with clearly spelled out categories of foods to select portions from for each meal, grocery shopping lists, and a separate recipe guide that will likely have you eating tastier foods than you do now!
- Concise advice on where to spend your money - which foods should be bought organic and which ones are ok to be conventional.
- Frank discussion of the now outdated calorie counting model, and why optimal health shouldn't depend on this approach.
- Justification for feeding your body as much of these food groups as you want, and not feeling hungry day in and day out.
- Exercise not required to achieve real results - while important for overall health and well being, your starting point is your diet.
This program offers all of the above benefits and more - most importantly, the structure of the information, approach, and tools enable you to quickly incorporate this into your lifestyle. In fact you may not even realize after 2 months how much you have improved your lifestyle and eating habits - but you will notice feeling better and likely fat melting away. For a one time purchase of less than , it is one of the most economical choices you can make today to change your life.
