The Best Life Diet By Bob Greene

Here is what Oprah Winfrey has to say about your life diet.

Another thing I know for sure now is that you’ve got to ask yourself, What kind of life do you want and how close are you to living it? You cannot ever live the life of your dreams without coming face to face with the truth. Every unwanted pound creates another layer of lies. It’s only when you peel back those layers that you will be set free: Free to work out, free to eat responsibly, free to live the life you want and deserve to live. Tell the truth and you’ll learn to eat to satisfy your physical hunger and stop burying your hopes and dreams beneath layers of fat. - Oprah

As many of you know, Bob Greene is the prized personal trainer of entertainment guru Oprah Winfrey. diet - better know as The Diet - is not designed for someone who wants a short-term fix for their weight loss issues. diet is based on the theory that overall weight loss should be a result of a healthier lifestyle and a more positive diet and exercise.

Bob Greene’s program calls for a long-term approach and once that virtually consists of a lifestyle change. The Diet is broken down into three different phases and is explained in great detail via the book or through their online membership program.

Many like the online version Greene’s diet because of the interactive weight loss tool, online community support, healthy food recipes, and motivational pieces. As a member, you also receive diet profile, have access to recipes and exercise plans, and have easily accessible weight loss tips and information at your fingertips.

Flavorful meals and recipes will greet you at The Best Life. Foods include Jerk-Grilled Chicken w/ Salad, Nut Butter and Pear Sandwich, Lemon and Herb Grilled Trout, Chicken Tabouleh Pitas, and more.

If it sounds good, that’s because it probably is. Remember, that The Diet isn’t diet that you’re “on” or “off”. It’s more a way of life and diet to reap the rewards of a long and happy life is the ultimate goal. The weight loss that normally comes with this lifestyle adjustment is a great bonus.

The Diet does, indeed, promote exercise which is a positive since diets don’t encourage it as much as they should. Exercising will increase your metabolism and generally leads to a healthier lifestyle.

This is what Bob Greene has to say about exercise:

Activity actually has an “after burn” effect-that is, it raises your metabolism for hours after you’ve stopped exercising. Once you step off the treadmill, cease digging in your garden, or return home from a walk in the park, the rate at which you burn calories remains higher than normal. It doesn’t remain at the same rate as when you’re, say, jogging or walking, but it stays higher than normal and doesn’t slow back down for quite some time. In this sense, you might think of activity as the gift that keeps on giving.

Recommendations include 30-40 minutes of cardio (jogging, power walk, pilates, etc.) five days per week. Online membership will include access to exercise and fitness tools to help you track your progress.
