The Ultimate Weight Solution Dr. Phil

Basics of Dr. Phil’s Diet

Decisions about what you eat, how you eat, when you eat, and why you eat are the basic diet questions you will be asking yourself throughout Dr. Phil’s program. He wants you to “get real” about all the factors that are a part every forkful of food you choose to eat.

This is not a fad diet, although it does promise “immediate results”. You can count on any quick weight loss to be the result of your own determination, motivation, and consequently, actions. There is no magical weight loss formula, although you may have a few “ah-ha” moments that prove to be major milestones toward reaching your weight loss goals.

Does It Work?

Any diet program that embarks upon the psychological side of eating is worth considering as part of a weight loss plan. Dr. McGraw offers you many ideas, “keys”, concepts and guidelines. If you are willing to embrace each key to its fullest, as described in The Ultimate Weight Solution, weight loss is likely to occur.

The nutritional component of The Ultimate Weight Solution is illustrated with food lists to help you put together meals. The list includes wholesome foods such as fish, lean meats and whole grains. A general outline of servings per day to consume from each food group is given. However, portion sizes are vaguely described, and the importance of total calories in relation to a person’s body weight is absent. For this reason, consulting with a nutritionist to determine your specific caloric requirement is beneficial to ensure weight loss.

Is It Safe?

Yes, for most healthy individuals there is no danger to his approach. There are no questionable pills, supplements or drastic regimes involved with this diet. As with any weight loss plan, however, it is highly recommended that you speak with your physician beforehand.
