The Biggest Loser
Diet
We’ve seen the show. Now we want the same
results, preferably without all the crying and snot. Even if
you don’t have hundreds of pounds to lose, the diet is
designed to work for you.
The diet follows the regimen of show
trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels. Week after week they
grind contestants into the ground with grueling workouts and
challenges designed to teach them the consequences of
continuing to eat in an unhealthy manner.
According to the trainers, eating to lose
weight and get healthy should involve their 4-3-2-1 rule: four
veggie or fruit servings, three protein servings, two grain
servings, and one extra every day. The way to make the small
amount of food go farther is thro0ugh the choices you make.
Bulky foods that contain a lot of fiber stave off hunger
longer and also flush out some of the fat in your meal.
Throughout the twelve week program, you’ll lose plenty of
weight if done to their specifications.
Now, on the flip side, you won’t have the
same conditions as the contestants on the show. No one will be
yelling in your ear all day to get your to exercise. A big
part of this program is a large dose of physical activity.
Most people don’t have the time to work out for hours on end
each day, but all exercise is cumulative and even one hour a
day every day makes a difference.
You also won’t have someone in the kitchen
talking you through fixing your meals. You will have The
Biggest Loser recipe book and the diet book to assist you.
While they emphasize healthy foods, some fats are allowed in
the form of healthy oils like olive oil and canola oil.
If you can afford it, hire a personal
trainer to help your exercise time count to the max. The idea
is to burn more calories than you take in without feeling like
you are starving to do it.
The diet advocates eating every few hours
and choosing fresh foods over processed. Fresh foods provide
more nutrients and eating often keeps you from thinking about
food. It seems like a contradiction, but when you know what
and when you will eat, it takes the guesswork that causes
temptation out of the equation. Planning meals is also crucial
to diet success.
The Biggest Loser Diet takes a lot of discipline but you will
see results even though they may not be as extreme as those on
the show. If you are not easily motivated, ask a buddy to join you so you remain accountable to
one another. Without the presence of the people helpful to the
show participants, you’ll have to kick your own
butt
