Bob Greene helped Oprah achieve her
dramatic weight loss, and he can help you too. You'll eat
the same delicious food that Oprah enjoys, and, just like
Oprah, you'll have Bob to encourage you at every step.
Unlike a celebrity, however, you don't need to hire a staff
of experts to aid and advise you, because Bob's plan,
easily tailored to an array of tastes, lifestyles, and
activity levels, acts as your personal trainer and private
nutritionist. Just open the book and let Bob help you get
started down the path toward your best possible life.
What sets Bob apart from all the other experts who claim to
have plans that work is that he admits that weight loss is
difficult: seventeen years of watching people struggle to
lose weight on a seemingly endless string of trendy crash
diets, only to backslide and regain the pounds they've
shed, have taught him that dropping pounds is not simply a
numbers game. By acknowledging that it is not simple
laziness but a complicated web of social rituals, cultural
expectations, and habits that drives people to gain weight,
Greene is able to attack the problem of weight loss
realistically and offer not a short-lived, quick-fix
formula, but a long-term program that accounts for the
challenges and constraints of the real world.
Divided into three phases, The Best Life Diet gives you the
tools you need to change your life. In each phase, you'll
be asked to reexamine the decisions you make on a daily
basis and gradually alter your habits to achieve lasting
results. The book also includes easy-to-follow meal plans
that make it simple to meet your daily energy and nutrient
requirements, whether you are on the run and breakfast
means a quick smoothie or you have time to shop for fresh
produce and make something special.
You'll watch the weight disappear as you learn to prepare
festive and flavorful dishes like Fire-Roasted Tomato-
Shrimp Veracruz, Chicken Sausage Jambalaya, or Flank Steak
with Chimichurri Topping and indulge in desserts like
Roasted Peaches with Ricotta and Almonds or Apple Rhubarb
Walnut Crisp. And for each delicious recipe, there is a
detailed nutritional analysis, so you know exactly what you
are eating and how it fits into your personal eating plan.
Most important, Bob's plan doesn't end once you've lost the
weight. Instead, it gives you the tools you need to make
living your best life second nature, because for Greene, a
diet is not something you go "on" or "off" but a set of
guidelines that will help you claim the life you deserve.
