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.
Length of Diet. Naturally you are the deciding factor here. Bob Greene’s plan calls for Phases One and Two to each last at least four weeks. Phase 2 lasts until you reach (or get close to your goal) so it may go longer. Phase Three is basically living what you have learned.
Fitness. Major role in the diet. You start by taking a test to determine your current level of activity and then slowly and (importantly) safely increase it to reach your ideal metabolism. This is not limited to personal trainer type of exercise but incorporates lifestyle types of activities outside of the gym.
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.
Eating Out. YES. The Bob Greene diet plan book (and there is actually a Guide to Fast Food and Family Dining for easy reference) walks you through making healthy choices when eating out.
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.
I hope you now have the information you need to start on the road to a new, improved life. Remember this is your decision as the results lie only in your belief and commitment.
