Bob Greene's Best Life Diet Plan

By Matt Hellstrom

When I first saw the Bob Greene Best Life diet plan, it seemed upside down to me. You see, on my diet plan travels I always had to start out from ground zero and then work back towards normalcy which meant keeping the new slim me for the rest of my life. Then I really analyzed the Bob Greene diet and thought, hmmm....maybe I am upside down. I mean if my diets worked, why did I have to diet?

Not only that, but as the Ah-Ha light came on, I also recalled that most people fail at dieting because it is too hard to change your lifestyle so drastically so quickly. It started to click that in starting off slowly, you see success in getting healthy and that makes you want to become healthier. Then you will take it to the next level because you are liking what you are seeing and feeling. Furthermore, you will end up where you want to spend your life, eating healthy and exercising regularly.

"Losing weight the right way - so you shed pounds and keep them off - takes time" is the basis for Bob Greene's diet plan. With this inspiration, he developed a program that starts off with reasonable expectations like eating breakfast daily and also getting active. Starting with these simple changes will bring results without killing you off. And this is important as you want a lifestyle change that is healthy for a long life.

This is not your typical diet yoyo - you won't go on and then off it. Instead, this plan will help you change your eating habits for life. And unlike so many other diets, the Best Life diet plan is based on the idea that eating is and always should be one of lifes pleasures. You can enjoy food guilt free while still maintaining your best weight.

Bob Greene's Best Life diet has 3 easy phases each with a 4 week duration. Phase 1 jumpstarts your weight loss by getting your metabolism going by eating 3 meals and a snack. Also upping the activity levels begins burning calories. Phase 2 is the level that changes eating habits with removing 6 bad foods. You set up a food plan based on the diet plan's Hunger Scale. Phase 3 is the finale where healthy eating and healthy energy levels equal a new healthy ongoing lifestyle.

One downside to Bob Greene's diet is there is no limiting on portions sizes. This is self-regulated and is very important to healthy living. The other side of the coin is you are moving more than ever and once you get moving you will be amazed how much you enjoy it because it produces again those endorphins which give you pleasure. And the calories are a burnin'!

In summary, you can't miss with Bob Greene's Best Life Diet plan. His honesty and awareness of the reality of how people operate is evident in the way this diet is structured. You only have to start to have the full and healthy life you desire. - 16004
