Losing weight would have to be one of the most popular New Year’s Resolutions, but also the one most often broken. What people don’t realize is that doing the latest fad diet and being inconsistent are not going to help them lose weight and keep it off. Weight loss depends on making changes to your day to day habits, adjusting your lifestyle and eating habits.

The Best Life Diet is a life plan, not a fad diet. It takes a more responsible approach by teaching you to gradually alter your eating habits, introduce some exercise and replace bad foods with healthy ones. It offers a gradual healthy weight loss which is more likely to persist.

The Best Life Diet introduces changes in three phases:

• Phase 1 is an introductory-type phase that lasts for 4 weeks. It eases you into the plan by helping you make some easy changes to your eating habits. It introduces the concept of regular activity, focuses on proper hydration and introduces diet supplements to support the changes. You eat 3 good, healthy meals and 1 snack every day, and don’t eat close to going to bed.
• Phase 2 takes the changes to your diet to the next level by giving you six foods that are not good for you and encourages you to gradually eliminate them from your diet. The concept of portion size is introduced and regular weight checks are done weekly. Exercise is further increased. This phase also lasts for 4 weeks.
• Phase 3 is the final step in the transition to a healthy lifestyle and eating habits. A healthy diet and exercise pattern has been established over the eight weeks of the program, and now you are taught how some of favorite foods can safely be enjoyed, as long as the main diet consists of healthy foods.

This idea of phases in the Best Life Diet is unique and helps people make the transition to healthier eating and exercise gradually, allowing new habits to be formed along the way. It is easier for people to stick with than the traditional “all or nothing” type diets and more dieters experience success because of this gradual retraining.

Many people want quick and simple weight loss in this world of instant gratification, but the facts are that, even if you can lose weight fast, in most cases the weight will go straight back on as soon as the “diet” is finished. While slow and steady weight loss may not be as appealing, it has proven to be the only reliable, long term solution to obesity and excess weight. The mind has to be retrained as much as the body and the Best Life Diet allow that to happen. The gradual phases establish a pattern of ongoing success in losing weight and learning to establish a healthy lifestyle.
