Ok Well I saw on Oprah this afternoon the best life diet. Being into nutrition and exercise, I always like checking out new diet trends. In fact I just overviewed a diet the other day on Profilesblog. This diet really caught my attention since Oprah basically stated that it changed her life for the better.
Here are the Basics of the best life diet:
- It’s not really a diet
- It’s a lifestyle change
- Suggests a gradual change in the way you exercise and follwo nutrition guidelines
- No Calorie counting
- Splurging allowed sometimes
Here are the 3 phrases of the diet:
Phase #1 – a maximum of four weeks, focuses on slowly increasing activity levels and changing old eating habits. Recommendations include no eating two hours before bed, eating three meals and one snack daily, eliminating alcohol (temporarily), staying hydrated, and taking a daily multivitamin/mineral, omega-3 fatty acid, and calcium (if needed). The meal and snack suggestions make healthy eating sound delicious.

Phase #2 - a minimum of four weeks, promotes a more aggressive approach to losing weight through healthier eating and increased physical activity. This phase builds upon the changes made in Phase One, with an emphasis on controlling physical and emotional hunger, removing six problem foods from your diet, weekly weigh-ins, and portion control.
Phase #3 – is maintenance, or the phase for the rest of your life. It focuses on eliminating more unhealthy foods and adding more wholesome foods, and introduces “anything goes” calories. Greene’s “anything goes” calories are similar to the “discretionary calories” found in the U.S. government’s 2005 Dietary Guidelines, which allow you to enjoy your favorite treats in small portions. Greene gives the green light for more “anything goes” calories when you are most active.
