The Full Plate Diet
By Stuart Seale,M.D., Teresa
Sherard, M.D. and Diana Fleming,Ph.D.,LDN
This
book should be called: All about High Fibre Diet Foods. The basic
premise is similar to the Glycemic Index Diet, Foods that are slower to
digest keep you full longer and therefore it easier to diet, but they
do not stop there. They go on to show all the other health
benefits of high fibre foods. Here is what they say about their book:
"Slim Down, Look Great, Be
Healthy. “Strange as it may sound most people are not eating enough to
lose weight. That's right you probably need to eat more to
lose weight. The key is eating more foods that have proven to
help you not only lose weight but feel great too. These foods are known
as fiber-rich foods. Fiber-rich foods are not weird foods, there foods
you see all the time you simply need to enjoy more of them.” The book,
The Full Plate Diet, features the Top 55 fiber-rich foods and provides
easy ideas on how you can start adding them to the food you currently
eat. “Most Americans eat only 12 grams of fiber a
day. The Full Plate Diet recommends working your way up to 40
grams or more. That's a lot of food! You'll never
feel hungry on this diet and since you don't feel deprived you can make
it your normal way of eating for good. Just eat more fiber-rich foods
and the calories will take care of themselves. Shop at your regular
grocery store, and spend less on food. Big health payoffs include heart
health, cancer fighting, diabetes friendly, more energy, and long life.
Lots of medical research backing The Full Plate Diet.”

What
I love about this book is that it agrees that one must eat fewer
calories to lose weight. It just helps you feel full while eating fewer
calories by eating more fiber. While on a diet, do you get
your 40 grams of fiber?

This
book does encourage you to keep a journal, and it does have a page that
you sign to show your commitment, but; what I do not like about this
book is that it does not have charts to keep up with your progress.
