Bob Greene Diet Plan Review

By Matt Hellstrom

I'd like to offer you a glimpse inside the Bob Greene Best Life diet plan. It seems to me that this might be helpful for you to make a decision to get involved, since that costs money at the very least. Not to mention time and energy. Here are the basics.

Cost. Right around $50 will cover the basic costs including the book with recipes, the journal, and a stay on the program book (also available on CDs). The cost of your food will decrease because fresh food is normally cheaper than processed food. You also have an option of joining Bob Greene diet program for a weekly fee that gives you access to experts and other dieters.

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. To eat nutritious meals will involve more than opening a box so for those of you who like to cook this will be great. Those who don't, a bit more time (and positive attitude!) is involved. And to keep the weight off daily fitness is vital.

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.

Alcohol. None in Phase 1 but allowed in moderation in the later Phases.

Forever Dieting? The beauty of Bob Greene's diet plan is that he understands that it is not being lazy that got us where we are. But there a multitude of influences in this world that shape and mold us to become what we are. Some are, good some aren't. In looking at these areas honestly, we can start making a change that will last and is not just a bandaid.

So is the Bob Greene Best Life Diet for you? Only you can determine that. Why? Because only if you believe and commit to it, no matter how good the Best Life diet is, will you be successful. - 16004
