Magic Pill
Infomercial producers have made millions of dollars
selling ephedra, hoodia, green tea extract and other “fat-
burner” and “fat-blocker” pills to an anxious public. Dr.
Ian K. Smith dedicated himself to studying these products
in extreme detail, then published his findings in Time
magazine: “There are no shortcut pills to a leaner body.”
Full Plate
The Full Plate Diet™ is easy, cheap, healthy, and
sustainable.
Harvard Study
The more fiber you eat, the more weight you’ll lose. The
less fiber you eat, the less weight you’ll lose.
When Walter Willett and his colleagues at the
Harvard School of Public Health studied nearly 75,000
women over a 12-year period, one thing was obvious:
the women who ate whole-grain fiber weighed less than
the women who did not.
By stimulating the release of certain intestinal
hormones, fiber promotes a feeling of satisfaction
earlier in the meal. Fiber also slows the emptying of the
stomach, prolonging that sense of fullness. As a result,
fiber helps you eat less. It also slows the digestion and
absorption of starches. This allows your body to break
down dietary fats instead of storing them.
Dean Ornish, T. Collin Campbell (author of The China
Study and professor emeritus at Cornell University) and
the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute have also
published studies that demonstrate the power of fiber
to facilitate weight loss. In addition, our 50 years of
combined clinical practice, treating thousands of patients,
has shown The Full Plate Diet™ to be the easiest and most
sustainable way to get trim, feel great, and regain health.
Weight loss of 5 to 10 pounds in the first month and 50
to 75 pounds after one year are not uncommon—without
hunger or feelings of deprivation.
Why Diets Fail
Feeling full is due to food weight and volume, not
calories. If your meal was high in calories you’ll gain
weight regardless of whether or not you felt full. If
your idea of a diet is to keep eating those same high-
calorie foods, only less of them, you’ll feel deprived and
probably won’t succeed.
Most diets fail because they ask you to eat smaller
portions and weights of food instead of changing the
kinds of foods you’re eating. Increase the amount
of fiber in your diet and you’ll have less room for
the concentrated, high-calorie foods that make you
overweight. It’s as simple as that.
The Full Plate Diet™ is extremely healthy. The
Institute of Medicine, the American Heart Association,
the American Dietetic Association, and the American
Diabetes Association all recommend that you increase
your intake of dietary fiber.
