Fit Fat Loss

It is natural that everyone wants to look good, however looking good ends up being associated with looking lean and slim with a well toned body. This restrictive acceptance of “good looks” contributes to numerous fitness programs and regimens that claim to help a person lose weight. Many diets are created and many books published with a horde of information available, making it a difficult review process to decide on the proper fit fat loss program that suits you.

One of the promising programs is Jon Benson’s The Every Other Day Diet (EODD). It is the one I personally use. I fit the unspoken profile… over 40, physical, and what to do something about my weight towards a healthy and fit fat loss.

The Every Other Day Diet was designed by Jon Benson, a sports nutritionist, fitness expert, and author of Fit Over 40. He also authored 7 Minute Muscle, which satisfies the ‘physical’ part.

It is noteworthyhat EODD, Second Edition has featuring contributions by Holly Rigsby, CPT and Danial Topkis, M.S.

The diet program is the outcome of their personal experiences in losing weight and staying fit. Jon, in his book The Every Other Day Diet busts many myths that revolve around weight loss and gives an insight into the correct form of healthy weight loss. Any weight loss which results in tiredness or fatigue, or even weight loss which is temporary, he explains, is not the correct way for healthy weight loss. It has to be a fit fat loss.

His diet plan is more a nutritional plan encouraging a lifestyle change rather than just a diet change for small periods of time. This review mentions the outstanding features of EODD.

EODD The Diet:
The diet involves a specialized program called SNAPP.

SNAPP stands for Shake, Nuts, Apple, Protein and Produce. Calorie cycling is a vital part of SNAPP and is used to stimulate weight loss. Consumption of high protein meals on one day followed by a day of eating food that is favored by the dieter ensures that there is a constant change in calories. This keeps the metabolism active without slowing it down. A constant, set pattern of eating would result in a sluggish metabolism and deter weight loss. Simply put, by altering calorie intake and consuming fewer calories than needed, dieters lose weight and become lean.

Every Other Day Diet Pros:

The Every Other Day Diet Cons:

• Variety in exercise pattern is lacking. Few pages are allocated to exercise.
• (Yes, so far, I can find only one con worth mentioning… but I’m looking!)

Discussions:
The Every Other Day Diet provides comprehensive support for those looking to lose weight. There is a complete history of how the author lost weight and in turn how he would like to see others do the same. The author is himself a sports nutritionist and these forge a sense of trust and dependability.

There is encouragement and discussions on will power included that helps the dieter further in achieving his goal. This form of emotional assistance goes a long way in helping dieters stay on track as many of them lose steam due to an emotional break or at weak moments.

The EODD food plan gives a clear understanding with definite meal patterns. This aids the dieter immensely while preparing meals. The book also offers additional support in the form of recipes not only for meals but also for snack times. These snack time recipes, (as craving is largest during those times) allow vulnerable situations leading to binge eating or improper eating that might result in the lack of weight loss.

These meal plans will greatly help those dieters who like to know exactly what to eat and do not have the time or the inclination to create their own healthy meals. Working men, women and busy moms will benefit in huge proportions as a result of this kind of help. The book encourages moms to get back in shape and accommodates their needs, providing support.

EODD Plans for body builders and athletes are also included that help those that require them. These special requirement details promote the book further to those interested.

Finally, once a person loses weight, the dieter is furnished with a maintenance program. This goes a long way in not only ensuring that a dieter loses weight but also that it is maintained.

Conclusion:
The Every Other Day Diet program by Jon Benson is a complete wellness program that is sure to help those in need of losing weight. It provides just the necessary amount of encouragement backed by good techniques of healthy weight loss. However, the author has stated significantly that the diet will be fruitful only if the dieter is determined and dedicated.

The person would also have to be very responsible as eating on days when they are allowed to eat their favorite food would require them to exercise portion control. These alternate days do not have any specific meal plans and the calorie intake is left to the responsible dieter.

The Every Other Day Diet offers a lifestyle change and is thus a healthy and long term fit fat loss solution. It does not produce instantaneous results and would not be very effective for those who would want to lose weight fast. This diet program is a continuous process that not only helps lose weight but also helps in maintaining the weight.

The Every Other Day Diet would not only be useful for beginners but also for those who have been in other diet programs and have been unsuccessful.
