Famously endorsed by Oprah Winfrey, Bob Greene’s weight loss plan is highly regarded among nutritionists for its long-term and promising potentials. Dieters can expect to consume around 1,700 calories a day by learning to balance both nutrition and exercise.
How does it Work?
Greene’s diet focuses on the concepts of limiting bad foods, incorporating healthier choices, and implementing a daily exercise regimen. Since the diet does not drastically cut calories and only requires that new users exercise for 30 minutes a day, the program is both realistic and sustainable. To help guide dieters, Greene’s program is divided into three phases.
Phase One
- Exercise
One of the first steps in phase one is the implementation of an exercise schedule. With this, the body’s metabolism increases while also burning calories. With Greene’s program, the more you exercise, the more you are permitted to eat. To determine the correct level of exercise, individuals can use the activity scale tool to create a customized plan.
- Eat Small Meals
Instead of cutting calories, Greene emphasizes the importance of eating three small meals and one snack each day. As individuals adjust their diets during phase one, Greene also advocates:
- No alcohol
- Drink water with each meal
- Incorporate multi-vitamins into a daily regimen
- Always eat breakfast
- Do not eat within two hours of bedtime
Phase Two
Progress
After about four weeks in phase one, dieters can check their weight loss results by measuring weight loss on a scale. If an individual has lost at least one pound or greater each week, then he/she can stay in phase one for two to three more weeks. If an individual has not lost much weight, then Greene asserts that the body is adjusting in order to prepare for the more aggressive weight loss techniques in the second stage.
Building Blocks
Phase two builds upon the concepts of phase one, as he adds new tips and strategies for success. Greene educates dieters on the different foods and their weight loss properties, and completely eliminates several foods for the second phase dieters, such as high-sugar foods and sodas. Stage three lasts at least four weeks, although dieters can extend this period if they are seeking to lose a significant amount of weight.
The Second Phase Ultimately Advocates:
- More exercise
- More portion control
- Choosing better foods
- Eliminating the worst foods from diet
Phase Three
The final phase is known as the maintenance phase, as dieters will continue to follow Greene’s plan by eating balanced meals and maintaining active lifestyles.
Greene’s Ultimate Maintenance Phase Principals Include:
- Eating balanced meals
- Controlling portions
- Drinking water
- Staying active with daily exercise
- Allowing treats
- Prohibiting the worst and most unhealthy foods
