The Best Life Diet plan is a popular lifestyle plan for losing weight. It is famously known as one of the diets supported by Oprah Winfrey. Determined people following this plan can expect steady weight loss and improved health over time. It is relatively easy to follow, with only three phases, few restrictions, and gradual lifestyle changes that promote natural weight loss.
The initial phase of the diet is called Phase One, and lasts up to a month. During this time, dieters slowly start to exercise and change their diet habits. Dieters are supposed to eat three meals and one snack each day, avoid eating less than two hours before bed, and take vitamins daily. Compared to many other diet plans, the first phase of the Best Life plan is more flexible and gives dieters a higher chance at achieving success with this plan.
Phase Two of the plan lasts approximately one month or longer, depending on how well your weight loss is going. During this stage, dieters continue a healthy approach to dieting and increased exercise. Dieters also resolving some of the underlying problems that prevent weight loss, such as appetite control issues and emotional eating. Dieters track their progress with weekly weigh-ins and discover healthy habits that let them reach their goal weight.
Phase Three is the maintenance stage, a stage found in many lifestyle diet programs. During this stage, dieters try to cut more unhealthy foods from their diets and consume healthier, unprocessed foods. Dieters can still enjoy all kinds of foods, even the foods that are not considered "healthy," in reasonable portions. This sensible approach to eating allows people to enjoy the foods they love without feeling deprived or guilty about what they eat. Dieters also stick to an exercise plan in order to stay at their ideal weight.
One of the best parts about the Best Life plan is the number of foods that you are allowed to eat. During Phases One and Two, relatively few foods are actually restricted, but there are six categories of foods that you must avoid. These foods are fried foods, white bread, soft drinks, foods containing trans-fats, regular pasta made with white flour (whole grain pasta is allowed), and high-fat dairy products. Dieters can resume eating these foods during the third stage, but for at least eight weeks during the Phase One and Two, these foods are all restricted.
Overall, the Best Life plan offers a sensible and reasonable plan for weight loss, but even the best diet plans cannot work if dieters cannot stick to them. The hardest aspect of this and other diet programs is staying focused and being able to successfully beat the mental obstacles that prevent weight loss. This is why weight loss hypnosis therapy is a perfect complement to any diet program. Hypnosis therapy is perfect as a weight loss aid because it resolves the underlying issues that keep people from losing weight.
One problem hypnosis is excellent at treating is emotional eating. People inadvertently develop the habit emotional eating when they eat to cope with their feelings, such as when they feel bored or angry. This forms a "conditioned response" mechanism so people tend to feel a need to eat when they experience trigger feelings, even when they aren't truly hungry. Hypnosis therapy works by helping the unconscious mind break the association between food and our emotions. When we no longer feel unconsciously compelled to eat, we feel automatic appetite control and can finally lose weight.
Motivation is another area in which hypnosis therapy can help a failing dieter. Hypnosis prevents dieters from losing sight of their reasons for wanting to take weight off and keeps them dedicated. Some of the questions people on the Best Life plan are directed to think about are why they are overweight, why do they want to lose weight, and what has kept them from losing weight. A good hypnosis program will also tackle these questions to make people consciously and unconsciously feel motivated to lose weight. Hypnotherapy helps people build a positive attitude and stay on track with weight reduction goals.
According to the Best Life plan, the keys to success for weight loss are in portion size control, selecting healthy and filling foods, and getting regular physical activity. These things help people naturally lose weight. You can get this weight loss through hypnosis by learning techniques from a good diet hypnotherapy CD program. Combined with the Best Life plan, hypnosis is an effective weight loss tool that can help many people become permanently fit and slim.
