“Tomorrow” is a familiar word for many overweight people. Tomorrow is when they are going to start that diet, change their lifestyle, lose weight, and become slim, attractive, and healthy. Their lives will change, their health and self-esteem will grow, and their social and romantic lives will be transformed. The only trouble with tomorrow is, it never comes. How many of the super-obese have become that way because they planned new start after new start, treating themselves in the meantime to a gigantic “last supper” of all their favorite fatty and sugary foods? Then the next day dawned and their willpower drained away, leaving them heavier and more miserable than ever.
The Diet Solution reviews show that many have benefited from this best-selling regime, which focuses on food and nutrition rather than exercise – which can often be the overweight person’s biggest pitfall. The diet’s author, nutritionist, and exercise specialist, Isobel De Los Rios, claims that anyone can burn off 10% of their body fat in thirty days if they follow the program, which calls for no special pills, supplements, shakes, or bars.
The current retail price of $47 buys the dieter the full manual plus a Quick Start Guide, which is suitable for those wanting or needing to lose weight more quickly. There are also recipes and meal plans, tips and information, and the metabolism type test, which tells you into which of three metabolic types you fall and how to design your meals accordingly. There are also upgrades, motivational and informational audio recordings by Isobel, and a series of workouts.
Many of the ideas contained in the regime will be familiar, such as the avoidance of fatty, sugary, highly processed foods; others are newer, such as Isobel’s insistence on organic foods and her teaching that wheat, even wholegrain, is a bad choice for those trying to lose weight.
For many people, dieting is made more difficult by the need for calorie counting and other elements requiring organization, but Isobel provides a number of tools to help with organizing the diet and lifestyle, including comprehensive meal plans, and calorie counting is not needed.
Because the diet is actually a lifestyle change, it should lead to permanently enhanced health and slimness if the dieter sticks to it. Isobel stresses that this isn’t a starvation regime. In fact, the dieter needs to eat a lot of food to optimize results. Isobel encourages her customers to eat three meals a day, and snacks in between. Weight reduction will be gentle, but sustained, and Isobel promises that other symptoms such as feeling bloated and tired will also vanish. Using the information to identify which of the three metabolic types you are is simple, and the idea is that you then plan your nutrition accordingly, hopefully for life, leading to sustained benefits.
