Women's Health Perfect Body Diet Review

 

The editors of Women's Health magazine have devised the "Perfect Body Diet" for women who want to lose 5-25 pounds. The idea is that the impact of female hormones explains the differences in food metabolism and the effects of exercise, between women and men. Women need a higher protein diet than men to increase lean body tissue and decrease body fat. The eight week program consists of two different eating plans to be consumed 5-6 times per day: after determining body shape, calculating ideal weight and doing a test for carbohydrate tolerance, dieters will know which plan to follow.

They advocate consumption of glucomannan, a soluble fiber, which is a bulk-forming laxative, that stimulates feeling full. It is the featured ingredient in the plan's 75 recipes and you're encouraged to add it to food every time you are eating. Dieters will learn about perfect and not-so-perfect proteins, fats and carbohydrates for their body type in order to create meals that are low in sugar, high in nutrients and efficiently metabolized.

The Perfect Body Diet exercise plan is divided into two sections, one for those whose body's are shaped like "Apples" and one for those who are shaped like "Pears". The plan consists of 50 different exercises to be performed for 30 minutes per day. They are strength training and cardio exercises.

The Perfect Body Diet sounds like a pretty good weight loss plan with the exception that it's a bit hokey and is a bit of a magazine-filler-diet. People who lose significant weight and keep it off in the long term don't get bogged down in the details of "The Plan," they commit to a new life that includes basic, balanced nutrition, daily exercise that usually lasts for more than 30 minutes, and they find their own personal motivation to change their life for good.
