Weight Loss Program
Here’s the basic scientific information about some of the weight loss programs currently in vogue. Use these data to assess what could be the most suitable for you, then consult your doctor before starting any of these programs (and spend money there).
The programs include weight loss, in addition to diet, physical activity and plans for change. The names of these plans are the original creators, but different countries can be promoted in different versions with different names.
Body for Life
Premise: A 12-week plan you eat a high protein diet and exercises regularly. Its creator, Bill Phillips, a physical-culture and businessman, puts the emphasis on the portions, not calories. You eat six meals a day, every meal is a protein portion and a portion of carbohydrates and some vegetables to add two meals. Once a week, allow one day “free” that may be happy to eat their favorite foods.
The facts: The claims of success of this program is based on testimonials and anecdotal evidence. Although Body for Life emphasizes foods low in fat, does not present a great variety, as a truly healthy diet should be done to meet all their nutritional needs.
Lifestyle Program
Premise: Combines vegetarian diets and low fat. Encourages eating high-fiber foods and limiting processed foods such as cheese. It also recommends a daily exercise program.
