Ultimate Weight Diet Plan
The Ultimate Weight Diet plan conceived by Dr. Phil McGraw outlines seven key points which will help you understand more about yourself and your weight. The goal is to get healthy from the inside out and to attain a realistic weight goal for your age and genetic make-up so that you are at peace with your size.
The idea behind this diet plan is to substitute bad habits with good habits. You are to incorporate exercise as part of your weekly routine and to begin a support group to assist you psychologically to get through the new lifestyle process.
The seven keys to this diet plan are:
- Right Thinking – Understand what and how you feel about yourself and your weight
- Healing Feelings – Your emotions are connected to the foods that you consume
- No-Fail Environment – The people who surround you at the table when you eat have a great influence on what and how you eat
- Mastery over food / Impulse eating – Learn what your eating triggers are
- High-response cost / High-yield nutrition – Eliminate junk food from your menu
- Intentional exercise – Incorporate reasonable daily exercise into your weekly routine.
- Circle of support – Gather people around you that support your desire to follow a new lifestyle of diet, exercise and psychology about eating
The Ultimate Weight Diet plan is not about counting calories, but is about measuring your food portions and to eat slowly and leisurely. You evaluate your eating habits: what, when, where and why, make changes accordingly and to exercise.
In this diet plan you are discouraged to eat foods of convenience such as prepared foods and snacks. You are encouraged to eat foods that require preparation, which should give you enough time to control any emotional overeating.
High fiber foods that can be consumed in their natural state are recommended such as vegetables, fruits and soy products. Protein drinks and protein bars are acceptable. No alcohol is allowed in this diet plan.
The Ultimate Weight Loss Diet plan divides foods into two groups: high response and low response. High response foods require effort in preparation, support good eating habits and provide excellent nutrition. Lamb, veal and Caesar salad fall into this category. Foods in low response are weak in nutrition may lead to obesity, heart disease and diabetes. These foods include candy, chocolate, pizza, pasta and noodles made with white flour.
Meal plan in the Ultimate Weight Diet plan consists of two to three servings of carbohydrates, two servings of dairy and three servings of protein per day. At least four servings of vegetables and two of fruits should be included in the diet plan’s daily menu.
Foods encouraged in this diet plan include whole grains, whole-grain pastas, whole-grain cereals, all fruits, all veggies (except those that are fried or drenched in sauce), eggs, lean meats, legumes, tofu, tempeh, 1% or skim milk, nonfat dairy products, nonfat ice milk, sherbet and herbal teas. Supplements you should along with the diet plan include multivitamins, calcium and vitamins A, C and E. This is not a quick loss weight fix but this diet plan coupled with exercise may change your eating habits and thought about what types of food you eat and why.
