The Diet Solution Plan

Yesterday morning I was cooling down for 20 minutes on the bike after a brutal leg workout and started flipping through the TV stations instead of listening to my iPod and I was reminded of how much weight loss has become a North American obsession!

You don’t have to flip many stations to get bombarded by new gadgets, pills, diets, books and programs endorsed by celebrities and it only takes three easy payments to fix your problem.

Perhaps you have tried one of these methods that gladly take your money and you still have nothing (or little) show for it.

Sure, anything works in the short term but I am interested in sharing solutions that work for the long term.

Aren’t you?

This reminded me of one of the most popular interviews I did last year with Isabel De Los Rios and I wanted to give you a chance to see why  I consider her to be one of the most knowledgeable nutrition experts I’ve come across over the years.

Vince Del Monte V.S. Isabel De Los Rios Interview

Vince: Why did you decide to write The Diet Solution Plan when there is more than enough nutrition info out there?

Isabel: I decided to write the Diet Solution for that exact reason.  People are being bombarded with nutrition information and either one of two things is happening:  They are either being grossly misinformed with information that is the complete opposite of what is the truth or they are so overwhelmed with all of the good information and they just don’t know where to start.

What I did with The Diet Solution was take all of the BEST information out on the market today and compiled it
in an easy to understand, easy to read and easy to implement program.  Basically, took the best of the best and saved my readers hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars in research and trial and error.

Vince: You clearly state that soy is NOT a health food.  Does this go for my friends who want to build muscle and lose fat?

Isabel: This goes for absolutely everyone, but especially for those who want to build muscle.  I would even say the effects of eating soy will contribute to the exact OPPOSITE hormonal changes in your body that you want if building muscle is your goal.

This is because most soy products on the market today contain phytoestrogens.   These phytoestrogens mimic the effects of estrogen in the body and have been shown to decrease the testosterone levels of rats, monkeys and other animals, including humans.  It has been known for quite some time that soy lowers testosterone to the point that there is an old Japanese wives’ tale that says women punish straying husbands by feeding them a lot of tofu.  Now what do you think that means?

If building muscle is your goal, definitely stay away from any protein powder or protein bar that contains soy or soy protein isolate. Make sure to read labels carefully as it is in more products than you think.

Vince: When choosing a protein powder, should I really be concerned about artificial sweeteners harming my body?

Isabel: Artificial sweeteners have been found to be one of the most toxic substances we can put inside our bodies.  Besides the fact that it causes brain and metabolism dysfunction, they clog up your liver to a point where it can not fully function.

Why is your liver so important?  Your liver is not only responsible for eliminating toxins from your body but it is also responsible for metabolizing fat.  If it is so busy processing through artificial sweeteners (a harmful toxin), it will not spend a sufficient amount of time processing through the unwanted fat you are trying to lose.

Believe it or not, I have had clients give up Diet Coke and lose up to 10 lbs in 2 weeks!

Vince: In your program, you talk about good dairy and bad dairy.  Any tip you can provide before I buy any more dairy?

Isabel: Dairy is one of the leading reasons most people can not lose weight or, worse yet, are constantly gaining weight.  The shocking truth about dairy is that it is only healthy in its raw form.  All of the pasteurized dairy in the supermarkets today are really keeping people fat and making them fatter.

Besides the countless amount of research that has been done showing us how healthy raw dairy is, the proof is really in the thousands of people and children that are overweight or obese and drinking several glasses of pasteurized milk each day.

Vince: Eating organic food is really expensive.  Is it worth the extra cost or completely over rated?  Will it really make a difference in building muscle faster and losing fat quicker?

Isabel: The answer to this question takes us back to the function of the liver.  The pesticides, antibiotics and hormones that are being added to most foods are clogging up our livers.  Again, a clogged up liver can not burn fat.

And worse yet, will continue to store fat.  Yes, organic food may be a bit more expensive.  But most of my clients notice their grocery bill is the same once they eliminate the expensive cereals and “so called” expensive diet foods they were eating before.

Vince: The last thing I want to share with my friends is another “diet program.”   How is your nutrition program different and who would be a perfect candidate for your nutrition program?

Isabel: My nutrition program is the best way and the only way most people should be eating.  It is not some crazy fad diet, nor is it some extreme crash diet.  It is how everyone should be eating on a daily basis, as mother-nature intended.  What most people don’t realize is, if we ate they way our ancestors ate centuries ago, we would all be lean and healthy.  It is the over-commercialized and toxic processed foods in our
countries that are keeping everyone so overweight and unhealthy.

Does it really seem healthy to sign up for a diet program that makes you buy their food and only their food?  Or to nourish your body with fake powders and bars?  That’s really not how are bodies were designed.

What I teach in http://www.AntiDietPlan.com is exactly what your body needs to maintain a lean and healthy body for a lifetime.

What is the biggest benefit of following your nutrition program and does it come with meal recipes and meal plans?

The biggest benefit of my nutrition program is that it is made up of all real food.  It also recommends that you eat good healthy portions of food and that you should NEVER be hungry.  If you are walking around hungry, you are doing something wrong. You are most likely starving your body of the nutrients and whole foods it needs.

I have done all the hard work for you.  I have put together all of the healthy principles into easy to follow meal plans, no matter what your starting point is.  I have also included 61 of my favorite meal recipes so that you can always keep your nutrition program delicious.

Vince: How important is it to eat based on your metabolism and eat the right foods for your metabolism?  Do you touch on this in your program?

Isabel: Eating the right foods for your metabolism is so important, that it is the difference between losing weight and not losing weight.  We are all individual and so are our metabolisms.  In order to pinpoint exactly which meal plan will work best, I have included a Metabolic Typing Test so my readers can determine exactly how they metabolize food and which foods are “fat burning” foods and which foods are “fat storing” foods.  The results of this test have been a true “AHA” moment for thousands of people, finally, maybe for the first time, finding why they have not been able to shed their unwanted fat before.
