"Eating for Life" by Bill Phillips Review Eating for Life is the food portion of a healthy lifestyle change called Body for Life. It is an intense exercise and nutrition program based on the goal to achieve quick results in order to keep you motivated to continue.
The program lasts 12 weeks. It involves weight training for 3 days/week and aerobic exercise for 3 days/week. The diet consists of six small meals/day, six days/week, consuming foods such as vegetables, brown rice, poultry, and fish. You may eat as you like and do no exercise on the last day.
The Eating for Life program offered by eDiets requires you to eat six moderate-sized meals a day, which is going to be a stark contrast to your average starvation diet. Each meal consists of vegetables, significant protein, lean meat, poultry, fish, egg whites, or cottage cheese, as well as carbohydrates such as potatoes or brown rice. You must also drink 10 glasses of water each day. Nutritional supplements, which Bill Phillips' company is going to sell you, are encouraged, as well as healthy oils such as flaxseed.
Conclusion:This is a difficult diet to follow. If you are at this level of dieting/ body fitness and training then unless you have another type of condition there is very little else you need to do. (Or too much to do depending on how you look at). If you are not willing to train 45minutes to 90 minutes in a gym six days out of the week on-top of a hectic lifestyle and the fact that even if you are at this level of fitness and training you will have very low energy levels unless you take the right kind of dietary supplements (usually taken by body builders for higher energy and faster recovery times, i.e. ZMA Q10 etc...) Then you are better off trying the Personalized Prescription Weight Loss Pills. Eating for Life/Body for Life program is effective if you follow it closely, but that is really the obvious Catch-22 of any diet. The focus of Body for Life is clearly to make people look better, from a muscular standpoint.
Gym fitness and higher protein diets are certainly effective at achieving such a goal but often difficult to stick to. I prefer more basic nutrition and exercise that is a bit more entertaining such as hiking, cycling, tennis, running or swimming. But Bill Phillips Eating for Life/Body for Life is clearly on the good side of the weight loss world. |
