When I first saw the Bob Greene Best Life diet plan, it seemed upside down to me. You see, on my diet plan travels I always had to start out from ground zero and then work back towards normalcy which meant keeping the new slim me for the rest of my life. Then I really analyzed the Bob Greene diet and thought, hmmm….maybe I am upside down. I mean if my diets worked, why did I have to diet?

Plus, the more I thought it through, I also remembered that one of the biggest reasons people don’t stick to their diet plans is that it is too hard to change so much all at once. Then I began to see the light, starting slowly and building up to a healthy lifestyle. Because the more success you see and the healthier you feel, the more you will not only want to be healthier but also be able to do what it takes to be healthy. That equals living a healthy life for the rest of your life.

Bob Greene’s diet philosophy is ‘losing weight the right way - so you shed pounds and keep them off - takes time’. Using this thinking, this plan is set up for gradual but significant changes. Starting with simple things like having a good breakfast everyday and getting up and about, you will start seeing the changes you desire immediately. And long term, this adds up to starting and continuing a healthy, happy way of life.

This is not your typical diet yoyo - you won’t go on and then off it. Instead, this plan will help you change your eating habits for life. And unlike so many other diets, the Best Life diet plan is based on the idea that eating is and always should be one of lifes pleasures. You can enjoy food guilt free while still maintaining your best weight.

Bob Greene’s Best Life diet has 3 easy phases each with a 4 week duration. Phase 1 jumpstarts your weight loss by getting your metabolism going by eating 3 meals and a snack. Also upping the activity levels begins burning calories. Phase 2 is the level that changes eating habits with removing 6 bad foods. You set up a food plan based on the diet plan’s Hunger Scale. Phase 3 is the finale where healthy eating and healthy energy levels equal a new healthy ongoing lifestyle.

The only loophole I can see is the portion control. This is vital in healthy eating. However, an upside is you start increasing your activity level on day one up to 30 minutes 3 times a week. This is a great way to jumpstart your metabolism.

All in all - Bob Greene’s Best Life Diet is a homerun. The only way you can have a long healthy, happy life is to eat well and keep the body moving. This diet plan gives you the straightforward truth that will allow you to achieve success.
