January 22, 2009 Filed under Diet
I always like to get an idea of a program will work for me before I spend any of my hard earned money or limited time. So I thought maybe you would like that too before you make a commitment to Bob Greene’s Best Life diet. So here’s your peek.
Price. A very valuable question - cost is about $50. That includes the primary book that includes meal plans, a food journal and a great book or cd that helps you focus on the effect food has on you in life. You also can become part of his forum that gives you access to experts and other people in the program.The offset of this is that fresh food is cheaper than processed food.
How Long is the Diet? As with any plan, Bob Greene’s diet depends on your commitment. The first 2 phases are set up to go for 4 weeks each. The middle phase is the reach your goal stage and may last longer depending on the weight loss you desire. The final phase is your new improved changed lifestyle.
Exercise. This is a huge focus on this plan. You start by deciding where you are activity-wise and increasing it a bit at a time until you eventually reach the optimum range that will keep your calories burning. This is important because it keeps on you on the success track and doesn’t blow out your body.
Time Commitment. Food prep is low, the fitness level is high. See Ongoing Commitment for further comments.
Dining Out. Of course! Bob Greene’s diet books help you learn how to make smart decisions at restaurants. He even offers a book that gives you specific suggestions off the menu of several places.
Drinking. Start by eliminating alcohol in phase 1. But reintroduce it in the 2 later stages.
Lifelong Decisions. Knowing that gaining weight is not a cop out in doing what’s is healthy, Bob Greene’s diet plan address all the complexities of our society that contribute to the decisions we make about food. This helps us look at our life with honesty and realism that will make this not “just another” diet but a lifestyle change that unearths what is lying underneath that drives us to our choices. This is the stuff of change.
Can this diet plan work for you? Only you can answer that. Anyone or anything else will not give you the jumpstart that you need to have inside to make this the start of your last diet.
