The Simple Diet A Dr’s Science Based Plan
Feeling stuffed after the holidays? Worried your new clothes won’t fit come the New Year? Stop fretting and enjoy the holidays with the Simple Diet, a clinically proven weight loss method that will allow you to lose the weight and keep it off. Designed by Dr. James W. Anderson, a professor of medicine and clinical nutritionist at the University of Kentucky, the Simple Diet is a science based method that doesn’t require rigid rules, strict calorie counting or expensive meal plans. Unlike other popular diets, the Simple Diet has proven results: in clinical trials, individuals on the Simple Diet lost 18.7 pounds; compare that to 4.6 on the Zone diet, 5.3 pounds on the Ornish diet, and 9.5 pounds on the Atkins diet. The answer lies in a balanced diet, physical activity, and one potent weapon: meal replacements.
In THE SIMPLE DIET: A Doctor’s Science Based-Plan (Berkley Trade; December 27, 2011; 978-0425241066), Dr. Anderson lays out his groundbreaking weight loss guide based on meal replacements, supplemented by daily servings of fruits and vegetables, regular exercise, and a strategy for positivity, including record keeping and accountability. Complete with sample recipes, a Green Light Calorie Guide, recommendations for frozen entrees (from companies like Lean Cuisine and Banquet), bars, soups and shakes, and patient success stories throughout, THE SIMPLE DIET offers a proven and effective alternative to expensive brand-name diets, with even better results
Simple, inexpensive and effective, THE SIMPLE DIET will change the way readers look at dieting. In fact, everything can be bought at the supermarket for an average cost of $61 per week.
Ok, I received an email to review The Simple Diet, lose up to 50 lbs in 12 weeks and its a science based plan written by a medical professional? Sign me up and count me in. I received no compensation for the review and the opinions are my own.
So here I am 5 weeks post partum today and still with half of my weight gain to lose. Currently on this 5’5 frame sits 192 lbs. I’m not petite to start with and pre-babe weighed in at 149 lbs teaching 3-4 fitness classes a week most of it was not fat, I can’t say that now.
I have had this book for a week and just finished a mind body weight loss book review prior to cracking this one open. Mentally I felt prepared to get started on a review that would follow the recommendations of the book for at least 12 weeks to see if I can lose the 40 lbs I want – as of today I have only made it through the introduction. Reading and reviewing are usually easy for me but I’d like to actually complete this plan so I am posting a pre-review blog post and asking others to follow my progress, even pick up a copy of the book and let me know how it goes for you.
My goal: Read up to Chapter 4 by Sunday and post a review on these, evaluate if the plan is viable for me.
If you own a copy of the book let me know and comment!
