The diet says 100 Easy Changes to Start Living a Healthier Lifestyle. The author is Cheryl Forberg, RD (Registered Dietitian), dietitian for NBC's The Biggest Loser show. She teaches how you can lose weight to eat your favorite foods. The diet shows how people can lose weight in an inexpensive and simple way. She promises you can lose 1 to 3 pounds a week if you exercise. There are a lot of practical information and 30 low-calorie recipes.

They recommend daily calories by multiplying weight by 7 if it is over 150 pounds. If it is less than 150, they ask people to see medical professionals. You divide them into 1/4 for breakfast, 1/4 for lunch, 1/4 for dinner, 1/4 for two snacks. You may adjust the dose, but may not skip the meals. Only healthy foods are permitted to eat. No artificial, processes, white, or refined foods. Their daily food pyramid is 30% lean protein, 45% non refined carbohydrates, 25% fats, less than 2400 mg sodium. The approximate guide lines are 4 daily serving of fruits and vegetables, 3 of lean protein foods (fish, soy, daily, poultry, lean meals, eggs), 2 of whole grains, and 1 (200 calories) of extras such as nuts, avocados, oil, and sweets. They recommend you weigh the foods for exact calorie intake. They also encourage to eat instead of drinking except daily products although the daily products are limited in 3 serving a day. They encourage you to keep a food journal so that you can learn about your unhealthy eating habits and to read food labels to understand the foods you pick. I like the concept of the food journal.

They propose 7 calories per pound. You may not get enough nutrients and be satisfied if you keep the strict proposal. You should take close to 10 calories a pound or 1,200 calories a day. You should take calcium supplement if you can't get 3 serving of daily products a day.
