Philosophy of The Revolutionary Diet

Nearly everyone is looking for the best diet plan to help them with weight loss or weight management. They're constantly buying books and magazines that tout the latest weight loss diet and teach them how to diet. They spend hundreds of dollars on healthy eating guides and meal plans that don't work (or work for a few weeks).

Meanwhile, the answer is right there in history - just live the way Americans did at the time of the American Revolution.

Paul Revere, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and the rest didn't sit in front of the television stuffing their mouths with Doritos and swilling Diet Coke from 64 oz. buckets. They ate real food, worked outside in the fresh air and sunshine, and got plenty of sleep.

Regardless of your diet goals, you can enjoy the benefits of healthy living without starving yourself and without suffering. Oh yeah, it's not that hard. Just eat real food and get some exercise. You'll be amazed at how quickly you get great results, how good you feel, and how good you look. And all without the pain and sacrifice that you experienced with diets in the past.

Diet plan needs to be sensible



Pull out your gym shoes and put away those holiday cookies. It's time for the annual diet-fest.
It's a good thing we're so motivated to lose weight this time of year. The big push to shape up helps compensate for holiday indiscretions and can give you the boost you need to enter the new year with dietary momentum.
Still, it's important for your diet strategy to be sound. No use wasting time - and emotional energy - on plans that are doomed to fail, and there are lots of those.
On the other hand, one of the best plans around is one you've probably heard about most of your life: Weight Watchers. It was your mother's - and maybe your grandmother's - diet plan, and it's one of the better approaches for losing weight.


A plan to live with
"It's the most livable plan to date," said Tonia Parrish, a Clayton schoolteacher, Weight Watchers leader and spokeswoman for the program. She lost 109 pounds on Weight Watchers over two years and has kept the weight off three years.
"Joining Weight Watchers was about my health," she said. "At the age of 33, I had borderline diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol."
Parrish lost the weight and brought those other health indicators under control.
The new PointsPlus program builds in incentives to choose more whole foods, fewer processed foods and more fruits and vegetables, changes designed to support health over the long run. Under the new system, fruits and low-calorie vegetables count as free foods or zero points, giving members more incentive than ever to fill up on these foods.
