The Best Life Diet by Bob Greene - A Review

By Matt Hellstrom

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.

Cost. This runs close to $50 to get a started. The information provided for this price is the Bob Greene diet plan book, a journal for tracking calories and a self help book or cd. You can also add the benefit of being part of a group that includes experts and others on the food journey. However, the bright side is that fresh food is usually cheaper than processed food.

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.

Activity Level. As important as the food you eat. Bob Greene's plan starts you out gradually until you find the level that keeps your body's metabolism at a rate that's best for you. And doing it this way helps to both limit any possibility of injuries and to give you the success that you need to want to live healthy.

Time Commitment. Food prep is low, the fitness level is high. See Ongoing Commitment for further comments.

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.

Alcoholic Beverages. First phase not an option. Other two phases is okay within reason.

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. - 16650
