DR. PHIL DIET

Information: diet issues. Dr Phil has designed a weight management plan that aims at healthy thinking as well as healthy eating. Healthy thinking leads to happiness.

Many people eat when depressed, and it can often lie at the root of many weight problems. He outlines the plan in his book "The Ultimate Weight Loss Solution: The 7 keys to weight loss freedom".

Dr. Phils Diet Plan is a sustainable, long term plan that may assist you and your life in more ways than just losing weight.

Dr Phils diet focuses on behavior modification and addresses these issues with his 7 steps to weight loss that focus on "right thinking for self control", "mastery over food", "intentional exercise" and more.

This long term plan is very gentle and can be used with low carb eating. It's really a lifetime plan for good health and healthy eating, rather than a diet.

The Dr Phil diet teaches you that there is no quick fix or easy change to lose the weight you want and get in shape. Instead there are seven main points to success with the Dr Phil diet:

1. The right thinking
2. The healing feelings
3. Create a no-fail environment
4. Mastery over food and impulse eating with your diet
5. Eat high-response, high nutrition foods with your diet
6. Intentional exercise with your diet
7. Circle of support

The Dr Phil diet teaches you how to overcome emotional eating, conquer cravings, choose the right foods to eat, make exercising regularly part of your routine, establishing a support group, and make changes to your environment.

An important thing to remember about the Dr Phil diet plan is that there are no points or calories to keep track of, and you can still have a limited amount of carbohydrates. When you start Dr Phil's diet program you are starting a lifestyle change.

By following the seven points of success you will have partners to help you success.

Dr. Phil Weight Loss Challenge

Dr. Phil McGraw promotes weight loss by separating food into two categories: high-response cost and low-response cost. According to Dr. Phil, high-response cost foods take time to prepare and eat, and so are not easily accessible or available to eat rapidly or uncontrollably.

High-response cost foods include meat, poultry, fruit, vegetables, beans and legumes, whole grains and some cereals. Low-response cost foods are easy to prepare and eat, and leave you prone to eating larger amounts in a quick fashion.

In addition to these two categories, Dr. Phil separated foods into two separate categories according to their nutritional value: high-yield and low-yield. High-yield foods provide a high level of nutrients relative to the amount of calories. Low-yield foods are just the opposite.

The best combination of the four categories are high-response cost, high-yield foods, which Dr. Phil says are hunger suppressors that promote fast weight loss. The Dr. Phil Weight Loss Challenge is described in more detail in Dr. Phil's book, The Ultimate Weight Loss Solution.

He advocates that losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight is a combination of diet and exercise, and is a choice that should last a lifetime.
