Review of The Diet Solution Program: The Program that Promises Fat Loss along with an incredible amount of Health and Vitality.

Title: The Diet Solution Program Review
By line: By Chriatian Walker
URL: The Diet Solution Program

The Diet Solution Program promises a complete and comprehensive weight loss program that will not only help you lose body fat, but guarantees you increased energy, health and vitality all at the same time.

With so many weight loss programs out on the market and on the internet today, what makes this program any different than all the rest?

Before we get to the program, let’s take a look at the expert behind this program. Isabel De Los Rios is a nutrition and exercise specialist with 10 years of experience helping clients reach their ideal weight and tackle conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and high cholesterol. Isabel has a very extensive educational background in nutrition and exercise physiology. Her personal experience with her own weight struggles and her mother’s severe diabetes led her search for the BEST nutrition information available today. The Diet Solution Program is a result of her 15 year study and research.

I’ve also talked to Isabel about her training and education background, and I’ll be honest, it was impressive, unlike other so-called “health experts”, who are just following main stream nutrition programs. Isabel provides her readers with the truth: the facts most people have never taken the time to research, read and decipher.

Plus, Isabel has been a nutrition and exercise specialist for the past 10 years and has personally worked with hundreds of clients in her own private facility, overseeing successful weight loss programs. This hands on experience with real people solidified the facts and principles she had learned in books, journals and from other health professionals. The proof was really in the results of real people.

In fact, Isabel’s articles are pretty radical when it comes to her nutrition principles which is why her approach works when main-stream nutrition fails. So if you are looking for the same old nutrition theories taught in every other book and program on the market today, this is not the program for you.

Now one of the biggest questions about the program is simply, “What is The Diet Solution Program?” Well according to Isabel, it is the most comprehensive and detailed nutrition manual available on the market today. Not only does it teach you exactly what principles you need to follow to finally reach your ideal weight, it gives you the meal plans, shopping lists and recipes to do so. It does not push some extreme, unreasonable way to lose weight. It actually teaches you how you can make this healthy way of eating into a lifestyle. And if you have ever attempted to lose weight in the past, you know that the only way to maintain it is to make it a way of life. The best part about Isabel’s program is that this new way of life is not some torturous eating regimen. She really shows you that you can eat delicious food, combined the right way, to lose weight and maintain it.

One of the best side effects of the whole program is the increased health and vitality that every participant experiences. Decreases in blood sugar levels, lowered cholesterol, increased energy, elimination of digestive discomfort and cleared skin conditions are just some of the few benefits other people have already experienced.

Frankly, I’ve used the program myself and recommended to many others. Why? Because I was sick and tired of following nutrition plans that either did not work or made me lose weight but feel terrible. Yes, I want to be at my ideal weight but I also want to maintain a healthy body at the same time and not have to resort to extreme, radical methods. The Diet Solution Program helped me lose weight and feel healthy and energized at the same time.

Now realize that some effort from you will be required, but Isabel has really done all the hard work for you. Included in her program is:

  • Step by step action steps telling you exactly how to put the principles in place
  • Detailed daily meal plans that make everyday eating easy
  • Shopping Lists to make food shopping a snap
  • Delicious Recipes to make everyday meals tasty

The manual is comprehensive. Jam packed with incredible and valuable information. But you don’t need to wait to get through the whole thing before you can start. You can use Isabel’s Quick Start Guide to start the program ASAP. Some people have even just used the quick start guide and lost 10-15lbs in a little as 6 weeks.

The Diet Solution Program is not just another weight loss scheme or extreme diet. It is truly the only way to lose weight and enjoy a lifetime of health. The Diet Solution Program is perfect for people who have struggled with their weight their whole life and are sick and tired of programs that just don’t work long term. The DSP is also perfect for people who want to take control of their health and reverse health conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease.

If you’re in the slightest bit curious, I recommend you look closely at Isabel’s program. I was very impressed with all of The Diet Solution Program meal plans, the bonuses, the guarantee, and Isabel’s expertise. For the money, it’s the best deal in the weight loss industry – so much better than diet pills! And remember…

Isabel De Los Rios’s The Diet Solution Program is backed by a 90 day money back guarantee. And this is a real guarantee… if you are not completely satisfied, you will receive your money back, no “ifs,” “ands,” or “buts.” So you really have nothing to lose.

To juice or NOT to juice…that is the question.

July 5th, 2010 No comments

juiceI’m pretty used to people coming to my home and saying “Wow, this place is so super healthy. I can’t believe it.” As you may or may not know, it does take quite a few people to keep the Diet Solution Program running. I had a bit of a “retreat” at my house where I invited 3 of our employees to come and work from my house and spend some time together. Whenever entertaining guests, I always try and be the “hostess with the mostess” and in my best Martha Stewart impression I asked “Can I get anyone anything? Some food or a drink?”

One of my employees replied, “Yes, I would love some juice please.”

As I did everything in my power to hold back the look of death, I said “We don’t have any juice. How about water or a tea?”

Without going through the entire conversation, this particular employee couldn’t believe there was no juice in the house. Moreover, she absolutely could not believe that my son does not drink juice and only drinks water (and yes, I did let her keep her job).

She has, of course, read and knows the DSP inside and out, but she admitted that she really didn’t believe that I completely lived my life that way until she saw it with her very own eyes.

But back to the juice…

Juice is one of those drinks that many people perceive as healthy, especially when it’s labeled natural or organic and it says it is made from all natural ingredients. Let me clear this up right now…Juice is NOT part of a healthy eating plan unless you are freshly squeezing it right in your kitchen with your own hands or through a juicer.

“But Isabel. My juice says its organic, natural, 100% juice with no sugar added. Is that ok?”

Well, I spent a significant amount of time reading the label of almost every single juice container, juice box, and juice product and they all came up the same…with tons of SUGAR. Read the label clearly and you will see that every gram of carbohydrate contained in the juice directly comes from sugar.

“But Isabel. All the carbs from fruit are from sugar too right?”

Yes, fruits are almost entirely sugar (coming from fructose), but a whole fruit also contains plenty of fiber and vitamins that are lost when you make a juice, bottle it and store it for any amount of time.

“But Isabel. My juice is fortified with calcium, Vit D and iron (or whatever they are fortifying juice with these days).”

When you “fortify” any food or drink with a vitamin and/or a mineral, your body is smart enough to know that this is not the real version of this particular nutrient. So much so, that it will choose not to use it. Yes, all of these fortified products are not giving you the vitamins and minerals you need. You must obtain these from natural sources like real fruits and vegetables (i.e. real food).

So if you’re a juice lover like many people are or have fallen for the “juice is healthy” trap, here are a few strategies to help you get your juice fix while simultaneously following a healthy eating plan.

1. Buy a quality juicer and make your own juice. There are so many different delicious and nutritious juices you can make in a juicer that will give you a super boost of vitamins/minerals and super nutrition. One of my favorite is carrot, apple and ginger. Be careful though! If you’re anything like me and sensitive to too much sugar at once, I would suggest having a serving of 4 oz or less or mixing your 4 oz with some water. I would also suggest juicing primarily vegetables and not as many fruits. This is a great way to get in some serious nutrition without having to eat vegetables all day long (a great option for children). I would also combine your fresh juice with a protein and healthy fat to keep your blood sugar balanced.

It is best to drink freshly made juice right away, as the longer it is stored, the more it will decline in nutrition. You can put your juice in a glass jar with an airtight lid and fill it to the very top. There should be a minimal amount of air in the jar as the oxygen in air (air is about 20 percent oxygen) will “oxidize” and damage the juice. Wrap the jar with aluminum foil to block out all light. Light damages the juice.

2. Make my favorite “tea juice“. If you haven’t seen this recipe in the Diet Solution Recipe Guide, here it is again:

5-6 bags caffeine-free herbal tea (e.g., peach, mint, chamomile, or fruit tea)

3 quarts boiling water

Stevia powder (or liquid) to taste

Pour water over tea bags in a large pot. Add stevia while tea is hot. (Adjust amount
according to the desired sweetness.)
Let the tea cool, remove tea bags, transfer tea to a serving pitcher or individual water bottles, and refrigerate.

3. Make your own DSP approved lemonade. My business partner loves this and drinks it almost daily (be careful if you’re sensitive to citrus or too much lemon.) Mix the juice from half a lemon, 5 drops of liquid stevia and 12oz of water in a large cup. Add more stevia or lemon based on your taste. This drink is a great alternative to people who need a bit more flavor than plain water all day.

So what did I end up serving my thirsty employee? Water! (And she bought juice when we went out to lunch). Oh well, I tried.

So now that I’ve shown you why juice is not good for you and how you can make your own healthy drink alternatives, why not learn more about which foods will cause you to lose fat? Check out our informative video right now!

Eat THIS before your workoutsJun 22

Posted by admin in Weight Loss & Exercise | No Comments

by fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson.

*** Short-cut Link:
*** My Favorite Foods Dietplan <== click here

One of the most common questions I get asked is:

“What should I eat before my workouts if I want to get rid of bodyfat?”

The answer?

NOTHING.

I’ve been saying this for almost a decade now… and research is catching up with the idea.

It’s nice to be right. : )

Several studies now confirm that exercising while your body is low on food may be a good way to trim excess fat.

European researchers found that cyclists who trained without eating burned significantly more fat than their counterparts who ate. Now, this is important: Cycling requires a LOT of energy. Far more energy than you need to get rid of bodyfat.

Working out with weights and doing moderate to intense (but short) cardio will take care of 99% of your needs when it comes to fatburning.

But with weights, and espeically with the cyclists that were tested, performance may be an issue.

In fact the members of the group of cyclists that didn’t eat performed worse on the intensive training. Still, they burned a higher proportion of fat to carbohydrates than the group that ate. (Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the journal of the American College of Sports Medicine.)

Why? Simple. Your body’s blood sugar is lowest in the morning prior to eating. When you train, moderately or with intensity, most of your fuel comes from your bodyfat and NOT ingested carbs. Isn’t that cool?

Which would you rather burn… bodyfat or carbs?

Yeah, me too. : )

About performance: I have found that my performance only suffers slightly when fasting and training for the first few weeks. After that my performance increases. The body starts to burn its own bodfyat far more efficiently so I find I have PLENTY of energy.

This was not a lone study on fasting and training. In a 2008 study, Hespel and colleagues tested the effects on men who did endurance training without eating versus those who ate. In the athletes who hadn’t eaten, the researchers found a spike in the amount of proteins needed to process fat, meaning their bodies had been primed through fasting to get rid of more bodyfat.

So, now you know the answer to the old question: “What should I eat before training?”

Nothing… or as little as possible.

In my next email I’ll tell you what to eat AFTER your workouts to REALLY jack your fatburning through the roof…

… and no, it’s not “nothing”. It’s something special. ; )

P.S. If you want the best diet possible to turn your body into a fat-burning machine along with my personal workout plan for fasting cardio… and a plan that works in your favorite foods too … then look no further than this:

There Is No “One Best Diet”

Your's Truly

Different Strokes

You know I have often wondered why my wife can lose weight on the 3 day fruit flush diet and enjoy it while I can barely stand the first hour of it.  Now it is true that I have suffered through the whole 3 days with her one time and I actually lost more weight than she did, but I hated it and I won’t do it again short of a gun to my head.

We are here to help you

I started this website in hopes of finding solutions for people to use to solve their weight loss problems and this 3 day fruit flush incident got me to thinking about what makes up good solutions.  One of the things that I have learned from this incident is that no matter how well a diet is constructed or how much weight you could lose if you follow it, it is virtually useless if you can’t stick to it.  Another thing I learned is that different people need different approaches to weight loss.  So many people who think that they failed at a diet are wrong, the diet is actually the thing that failed.

A Good Match Makes Perfect

There are many different reasons people are over weight and there are many different ways people approach their problems so trying to create a “one size fits all” diet plan makes about as much sense as “one size fits all” clothes.  What we need to do is understand how we got overweight and what our personality type is when confronting a problem.  If we can match those up with a weight loss program that is tailored to us then weight loss will come fast and easy.

Fat Loss Basics: Fat Loss 101

April 20th, 2010 No comments

by Alwyn Cosgrove

Click—–>Speed Loss

How do we actually lose fat? What do we mean by fat “burning”?

Here’s a very simple, (dumbed down) explanation of what actually goes on to create a fat loss effect. The key concept that trainers and physiologists have shoved down our throat for years is that it’s all about calories in vs calories out. This is true – for weight loss – but it’s not the whole truth for fat loss– there are a number of protective mechanisms that the body has in place, called rate limiting steps to prevent fat being lost.

On a very basic level – Fat “burning” is essentially a two step process.

The first step is mobilization. How do we get actually fat out of the fat cells so that we can subsequently use it as a fuel source? Fat mobilization is governed essentially by levels of a hormone known as hormone sensitive lipase or HSL (you can forget the name as there wont’ be a test). It’s an oversimplification but basically the higher the HSL levels, the higher the fat mobilization.

How do we get higher HSL? Increase catecholamine levels (specifically adrenaline).

How do we do that? Exercise. Particularly high intensity exercise. But HSL is also limited by insulin. High insulin levels = low HSL levels = low fat mobilization. So a great strategy for part one is low insulin levels (from diet and training), plus high catecholamines (through intense training).

Part two of the process is transport and oxidation.

If HSL levels are high – fat cells break down into free fatty acids (FFA) which circulate in the blood and eventually end up in a muscle (which needs energy) where they can be burned off in the mitochondria (this is the ‘powerhouse’ of the cell that your high school biology teacher kept going on about).

But there’s another rate limiting step here. Transporting the FFA into the mitochondria where it can be burned off. That transport is controlled by carnitine levels.

If carnitine levels are high – fat transport is high. Think of carnitine like passport control officials. If you get off a plane with 500 other passengers and there is one official at passport control – it’ll take a long time to get through. If there are 500 officials – then you go through quickly and can leave the airport. (Leaving the airport is the equivalent of fat being burned off). The more officials (carnitine) the easier the process.

So how do we ramp up carnitine levels? Well – again we have a rate limiting step. If muscle glycogen is high then carnitine levels are low.

So if we reduce muscle glycogen through metabolic work — we have the optimal fat oxidation state. Therefore high intensity glycogen depleting exercise is a the tool of choice here.

High levels of fat mobilization + High levels of fat oxidation = Accelerated fat loss.

So if you figure out how to integrate all those steps, and circumvent each rate limiting step – you’ll find that fat loss is simple …..

Fatloss Myths Exposed

April 5th, 2010 No comments

Editor’s Note: This is a fantastic article (actually an excerpt) from “Every Other Day Diet plan” author Jon Benson. It deals with myths, excuses, and mindset when it comes to shedding bodyfat. It’s a total eye-opener… very surprising in places.

eds

============

by Jon Benson
Author, “The Every Other Day Diet plan”
www.everyotherdaydiet.com

There are many myths around fatloss and even obesity. One of the most popular is that obese people simply eat too much. In most cases this is true. In some cases however obese individuals do not consume more food than people whose body weight is considered normal. Some eat so little that their metabolic rate slows down and starts the fat storage cycle in the body. There are also a series of hormonal and psychological factors that create conditions that lead to obesity and weight gain.

Many people carry too much body fat without being clinically obese. These individuals may not even be overweight. I have measured the body fat of models who were rail thin yet had body fat readings over thirty percent. Many of these individuals claim to have healthy diet plans and participate in vigorous exercise, but their bodies to betray their beliefs.

If you are overweight, chances are great that you can manage the condition. Even with strong genetics toward excess fat storage, obesity in over ninety-five percent of obesity can be reversed with relatively simple lifestyle changes. Rarely is surgery or drugs a necessary alternative. Even when such an extreme is called for, lifestyle changes are still mandatory for long-term health and weight management.

New Rules

The book “Fight Club”, which was made into a movie in 1999, had an interesting way of banishing the half-hearted from their rather extreme but effective clique. One of the principle characters, Tyler Durden, offered the group a simple list of rules to follow. You were either in or out–there was no middle ground. I thought it would be humorous to share his do or die rules with you:

1. You don’t ask questions.
2. You don’t ask questions. (repeated twice for emphasis)
3. No excuses.
4. No lies.
5. You have to trust Tyler.

Are you glad my name is not Tyler?

All kidding aside, the rules above have a bit of animal wisdom within them. While I am not advising you to cease asking questions (in fact, I advise the opposite when it comes to achieving life-long motivation), I am asking you to stop driving yourself crazy looking for the ideal dietplan and start applying practical guidelines like I will cover in The Every Other Day Diet plan. We all want that secret plan or magic pill that will end our weight loss woes. I will save you the suspense and tell you what you probably already know–it does not exist.

There is information that you currently do not know. Once revealed, that information can appear to have been a “secret”. In reality, a secret is just something you did not know a few seconds before it was revealed to you. Using that definition, you are about to learn many secrets. Some of them will go against conventional wisdom. I am asking for your open-minded consideration, and for you not to talk yourself out of beginning something new out of analysis paralysis.

If you do nothing but search and ask, you will never find and apply.

When folks pick up my book “The Every Other Day Dietplan”, I ask them to do one thing, first and foremost: Apply the principles. Do not just read it. I want you to do as Judge Reinhold’s character in Fast Times at Ridgemont High suggested–”Learn it. Know it. Live it.”

As for the “no excuses” and “no lies” bit, I think that stands on its own. We have made too many excuses in the past. We have lied to ourselves about our true desires as well. Think about it. Do you really “love” pizza…or do you love your family?

The small lies we tell ourselves can radically affect our subconscious mind. The subconscious knows no distinction between fact and fiction. The last thing you want to do is continually deceive yourself with seemingly innocent slang. You do not love pizza. You may enjoy pizza, for sure, but you cannot love it. Your subconscious can actually begin to respond to “loving pizza” and increase your craving for it (or any food) via the association it already has to the word “love”. After all, it is only natural to crave more of what we continually tell our minds we love.

Can you see the potential danger in self-deception, even when it appears innocent on the surface?

Likewise, you do not hate yourself. You are probably much like me. I hated my condition, but I loved myself enough to want to change it. I did not have my self. Doesn’t this sound more like the truth to you?

Try saying this out-loud:

“I love myself so much that I now demand a life of health, vitality, and leanness!”

That is the truth! That is what you really want. No more lies and no more excuses. They just fuel the fires that burn in troubled hills.

As far as trust is concerned, all I ask is that you trust that little voice inside. This is the voice of reason that can often be muted by the noise of our daily lives and our pre-programmed answers that are more denial than fact. You can trust that I have been where you are and have helped thousands get to where you want to go. But I do not know all the answers. No one does.

What I do know is how to help you discover the answers that work best for you. Using the guidelines within this book, you can find most, if not all of those answers. You can put an end to the excuses and the self-deception.

You can start to enjoy life again. And, you can start today.
